i've played 50 hours and almost finished (done with the main story and now maxing out additonal content) first 20 hours were super intersting, following 20h i got pretty bored, because all the time you click stuff to solve different puzzles. so I was click-skipping conversations and adult videos because I was curious how the story ends. so you can argue, the main plot could be shorter. anyway, im giving 5 stars because the story was super interesting, the characters also, the dialogues fun and realistinc. i liked the first 20hours the most because on adult stuff you got realistic building relations encounters. in the second part of the game it gest more and more intense with group love fantasies. thats not my thing but I guess some people expect that. On negative side - theres no choices - you baisically have relations with every character in the game and they are super cool about it XD
The story is interesting, visuals are what you would expect from good AVN. Having said that, i have a feeling there was much more potential. Im giving 5 stars but some stuff could be way better: 1. The chats are way too long so after some time i just started skim reading and clicking just to get a general idea what it is about. If you read everytthing it gest boring very soon. 2. You can pick up every women in there without any consequences. Thats very unrealistic and takes away any challenge to the game. It's not a spoiler, because you can still play with picking up only some women. But the fact that you can go for all "relation" options and none of them is blocked takes away any fun in going for the one/ones you like the most (for instance a princess to marry into royal family). To sum up, nice story taking place in ancient Rome. Much AVN content. Could be better as far as relation/politics choices are concerned.
I love the game (and dont understand some other opinions) I play on hard level and it's pretty challenging. Climbed my first mountain and almost died descending. Actually, on every mission you need to be quick on time because with one big ascent you can loose all your provisions etc. What I like about the game: - nice graphics - good climbnig simulation - well balanced between body temperature, energy, sanity, oxygen - challenging - you can't wander around, if you loose to much time/energy on wrong direction, there's no way you reach the peak (or you will and not come down) - changing weather makes it more interesting The only thing I would add are dialogues (you just read them, or skip them). But obviously the budget for the game is not that huge. On watching your climber walking - you can speed it up. On not seeing the whole mountain - I think its a good thing because it adds to realism. You see a lot only when you are high - at the peak for instance. When you are in a valley, or at night you see little - I take it as a plus. To sum up - great value for money, especially if you like mountain climbing (and buy it on discount :-)
