HuniePop 2: Double Date

HuniePop games are not for everyone. They have a lot of over the top sexual clichés and humor. You have to like that or it's a torture to watch. That beeing said: It is one of the very very few games that actually can combine a game and erotic amusement in one. It is by all means a good 3-Match game and the visual novel aspects are few but they are well built in. All girls a re voiced and the drawing style is very good and pleasing. Again you have to like the anime-like style, if not of course theres nothing to do about it. I would also like to adress the obvious topic about such a game. Erotic games are still being treated as if they were something especially evil or problematic. They are not. There is a line between entertainment and unacceptable stuff, but this line exists anywhere, also with violent games for example. HuniePop does not have to fear such evaluations: - It is so exaggerated and over the top that it is practically satirical. Which actuyally makes it clear that such behaviour is of course nothing for the real world. - The women are basically from every age, color, ethnic background, social standing, country on earth and whatever you can think of, i doubt i have seen a game to try harder not to discriminate anybody. - The women actually behave better than in 99% of other "unproblematic" games. They are not "fooled" by the player or have some illusions about the sexfriendship, they act self confident most of the times and appear equal to the player and not just some trophie, despite the setting. They are all quite likable in their own ways ! - You can also play as a girl, something often not mentioned, but i think relevant nonetheless. So if you want to try an erotic game, that takes itself not too seriously and is really very heartwarming and fun, try it. Its really a good game.

Although more challenging then the first game, it has no endless mode, less character portraits, and less likable characters (I'm looking at you Candace and Sarah)

I use Linux. I purchased the original game and I like it. However, in this one, Linux version is missing, so I currently can't play with it :(

The Skill system is a step back in my opinion, it just feels off and makes the whole game more grindy. As for the artwork the character portraits are top-notch during conversations but a real dissapointement for the H-Scenes. Somewhat of a letdown but whatever.

I don't know why HunieDev felt the need to make the game threesome focused, but I'm fairly confident in saying that it's this games downfall. Threesomes are way too contrived to base the whole game round without loosing its soul which made the original Huniepop the surprise hit that brought adult-themed games out of the basement.
