Best Match-3 game, if you can accept it

I have a problem with Match-3 games: there's no strategy to them, it's all chance-based gameplay with visuals that tend to reward you for being lucky. That's why I can't ever get invested on one for more than a few minutes before never touching it again. But this game fixes all that. There's actual strategy here. You can't just click around like crazy and hope for the best, you have to carefully consider your moves and their consequences on the board. Time limit is removed and replaced with a set number of movements and the gameplay evolves the more moves you make, as certain moves at the beginning pay off better later. Furthermore, there are light RPG elements. Every girl you play with has different preferences on tokens, so you have more to consider. And in the Date Sim part of the game you have to carefully seduce the girls in order to win experience to level up and upgrade your abilities on the board, which in turn helps you make money, which helps you on dates. It's all very carefully executed and balanced. The only problem is, this game tries to be two games at once: Match-3 and Date Sim. And while it unexpectedly succeeds spectacularly at both, not necessarily all people will be interested in both. I have no problem with the titillating pictures, but surely my mother wouldn't feel the same, so this is a game I cannot recommend to her, even though she likes puzzle games. I really wish there were more games like this, with different tones. This should be the future of Match-3. Less Candy Crush and more HuniePop. Match-3 games are never going to stop coming, so let's hope they follow this game's path.

Cute and Good

This is game is a hilarious and fun mix of puzzle with lite dating sim. The introduction is short and sweet, and it doesn't take long to get a good idea of how to master the gameplay mechanics and dive quickly into the meat of the game. The only cons I see: there's a bit of repetition by the end of the game, when you're trying to get all the items for every girl and a lack of in-game instruction booklet for when you forget how some of the mechanics worked. (It sucks to lose a game because of that. :P) All in all, this is a recommened buy.

One of those sexy silly games

Don't expect some deep story or some erotic revelations. This is a simple match 3 game and dating sim with stereotypical manga babes. For a 100% completion you'll need about 10 hours, so maybe grab it on sale

Great and uncensored

This game combines match-3 puzzle gameplay with an actual incentive to play this genre. Rewards are pretty cool and dialogues actually make sense. You need to invest into perks - characters skill upgrades in order to comfortably beat harder puzzle levels.

Run of the mill

HuniePop is run of the mill in every sense of the phrase. The match 3 portion is engaging enough, and kitting out your selection of date gifts adds a bit of strategy as the game gets more difficult, but in the end you can approach pretty much every puzzle scenario in the same way to succeed, and often (as is the case with many match 3s) you can just get very lucky. However, occasionally you do have an exciting game that comes in close to the wire. As a match 3, it's just totally fine. There's nothing particularly innovative or interesting about it. It's serviceable. As pornography (this is after having installed the patch to uncensor the game), there's nothing you will see here that won't be better than what you can find in 5 minutes of perusing the internet for hentai. The art is high quality, that is for sure, but there is no shortage of high quality anime smut available for free on the internet, so you might find yourself wondering why you're going to spend 5 matches (minimum) per girl (so 60 matches in total) to unlock 48 images that range from PG to ecchi to straight up hentai. It might be for the "dating" elements, but the game falls flat in that regard as well. None of the characters are especially interesting, and while they all have distinct personalities a lot of the conversation options are simply questions like "how tall are you" or "what is your favorite color?" No joke, there is nothing going on here. It would have been nice if the women in the game had more interesting stories that revealed themselves over the course of the 5 dates, so that you could get some sense of who the characters were on the road to unlocking the porn, and then they could have added all the filler for post-game shenanigans, but that's sadly not the case. As it is it just becomes a grind to finish all the dates and then after getting all the art you unlock a harder difficulty that is there for what reason exactly? TLDR: I finished it, it wasn't great.
