HuniePop 2: Double Date

g

The original Hunie Pop is one of gaming's great outliers. Most 'naughty' games are empty husks, offering what could barely even be considered gameplay while hoping to lure in costumers who somehow don't know that you can just Google 'naked ladies' any time you like. But Hunie Pop rose above the sweaty heap by delivering a high-quality match-3 game with color, charm and personality. Unsurprisingly, said success has led to a sequel, which employs the classic gambit of doubling up on the original's premise. Now, your self-insert avatar dates two ladies at once, in the name of a plot that is both completely arbitrary and that will get this review censored if I delve too deeply. The core gameplay is largely identical to the original game, but having to switch between two women adds a solid extra layer of strategy. Sadly, the social aspects of the game don't get the same upgrade. Talking to the women is such a huge stamina drain that you won't be doing much of it, leaving them as little more than stock stereotypes. (I wasn't expecting Disco Elysium levels of nuance here, but still.) Winning the puzzle will always make the two women become compatible, even if their short interaction beforehand suggested nothing of the sort. A much more robust social system would'be done wonders here to break up the endless 3-matching and give the women some texture. The fact that the game is also absurdly insensitive in places probably goes without saying. Graphically, the game is fine. Bright, simple and cheerful. The music is better, being catchy but not overbearing. Actually, the epic music for the final bosses is legitimately great; you could sneak it into a serious JRPG and nobody would notice. if you're just here for your match-3 addiction, this would be a fine buy on a sale. If the dating aspects of the game mean anything to you, you'll likely be let down - Persona, this ain't. If you just want cartoon nudity, Google is currently free to use.

The game became more grotesque; they removed all cuteness and all cute characters (except Lola, which they removed her cuteness and made her super horny instead), went compleletely for a more lascivious, gory approach about sex, and over sexualized every character.

I goon to this game every day 5 times its so amazing

Reading reviews I was bit afraid of playing second HuniePop as I really enjoyed first one and most players seem to be slighty disappointed. Well, once again it proves that relying on other people's opinions isn't the best idea. This game is really great despite some changes, maybe more shallow plot and relations and lack of Audrey (Lillian does her best to replace her though). Core mechanics got developed making puzzles fun and challenging while old and new characters got really good voice acting with many hilarious lines to hear. Overall Huniepop 2 feels like base game on steroids and it's really worth giving it a try. :)
