HuniePop

Back in 2015, dating simulators were deader than a zombie shot through the head, and many hardcore gamers - including me - would "never, like ever", consider playing a match-3 on their desktop. And bang, HuniePot crossbred these two and created one of the best adult games I've ever played. What's the secret? The polished, carefully balanced gameplay. This is the unicorn of a hentai game that actually has a strong game element to it. You might buy it for the naughty pictures, but you'll end up playing it for the challenge. You are this shy nerdy gamer who's absolutely impossible around girls, until one day, you meet a love fairy in a bar, and she just insists on helping you become a babe magnet. The game's light-hearted humor just adds to it being so much fun. One part of the gameplay is a dating sim - you earn girls' affection through presents, remembering stuff about them, and showing you're their soul mate. The dates themselves are increasingly more difficult games of match-3, for which you buy power-ups for the two in-game currencies - affection (Hunie) and money (Munie). Finding the right power-ups for your play style and learning to wait with some moves to execute a fat combo later are key. There are 12 dateable girls, including two unlocked through specific chains of actions (I recommend looking it up in the internet, as it's nowhere near intuitive). Each girl has her own distinctive personality, which is always just one or two notches overdone, in line with the game's sense of humor. Add great graphics, some really nice tunes, and a just-about-right learning curve, and you've got a game that theoretically shouldn't exist but actually does, doing a great job at what it decided to do. Why only 4 stars then? Because I would have loved the story to have an ending, because unlocking the two extra girls is totally unintuitive, and because the game slightly overstayed its welcome with me. Still, it's easily one of top 3 H games you can find out there.

Forget the lewdness, the Candy Crush-esque addiction is real, bloody hell

Actually playing an old doorstopper of roleplaying game I urgently needed a break and started with huniepop. Normally I don't play puzzle games, this time I couldn't stop with this match-3-style. The game is shining with its clear and bright colours. The wonderful soundtrack is spreading a good mood and has a very relaxing effect. Some people will criticise it as elevator music, but I love this music and had to buy this amazing soundtrack, too. The dating part with the archetypes of nice girls adds some humour, the game didn't take itself seriously. I can higly recommend it, because I had a lot of fun with the playthrough.

I bought this game on a lark, because it was on sale, and I'm Mclovin it! The puzzle mechanism is fun, and challenging, with plenty of check boxes for us OCD types who like to fully complete games. The dialogue is hilarious, and tongue-in-cheek, though obviously sexist and unrealistic. You can tell the developers didn't take it seriously, and neither should you. Just play it, and have fun. Try to match the "correct" answer to what you learn about each character. My main criticism is that they didn't use different voice actors for each girl. My second criticism is that with this type of graphics, it would have been very easy to vary the shapes, heights, and faces of each girl, rather than just changing skins. The questions the girls ask are great, and that makes the game stand out.

This game is like connection of 10000000 & You Must Build A Boat on Android with Visual Novel Dating Sim. It gives so much fun and it takes about 12 hours to complete main story. If you have 10 dollars to spend, give it a try, it's worth it!
