Literally, it's flat and monochromatic. There is no undressing currently before the "sex", which I miss quite a lot, no progressively erotic photos from the girls as you build the relationship (as there is no relationship to speak of), and the sex CG is just meh and mostly not even sexy, even with the patch on.
Game play is pretty good, some new changes. The new stamina element took some time to adjust to, but ultimately I ended up liking it as something new that didn't change the central game play too much. The change to you bought food/gifts/upgrades was ok. but not well explained how exactly you got each of the four types of currency. But, I was rarely out of one I needed, so it didn't really affect me that much.
The main issue I had was how bad the writing had gotten. The original was sophmoric, but it was intelligent about it. It knowingly was ridiculous and the characters winked knowingly at it. HuniePop 2 was mostly just bad sophmoric, with little of the charm that made the original fun. Kyu and Jessie were not nearly as likable (actually hated the new Jessie, she had a different voice actor that just didn't match.) Brook and Ashley were painful to sit through their scenes. More so than even Sarah who was meant to be annoying. The only characters I really like were Candace, Lillian and Nora.
An ero-dating sim utilizing match-3 game mechanics. That's for a short description of what this game is.
What I liked:
- thematically, same HuniePop game,
- new approach to match 3 part - double dates, stamina (forcing to switch between girls), baggage (system of disadvantages). All of this makes this game far more challenging. Can't say it's exactly positive, but like I wrote, I liked that it's something fresh,
- this game is HILARIOUS. First game had nice short funny dialogs. Here you get a lot more of them and on a completely different level, except you might miss most of this (read below).
What I didn't like:
- graphic style inconsistency. You can see it on screens already. This dev, before this game, has created two Hunie games: HuniePop with "realistic" graphics and HunieCam Studio with very comic like graphics. Playing HuniePop 2 I was expecting it to be a continuation of HP 1 and not a mix of these two. Let's be clear, I don't like the graphic style of HCS, but more than that, I hate inconsistency present in HP2. You see HP style character most of the time and get used to them, then in parts of the game, you have to guess which HCS style avatar represents that character, which at first is not so obvious.
- nice dating changed to speed sex-dating. I liked how I was able to get to know girls in HP with every date (4+ per girl) and being rewarded with their selfies every time. Here, you go on two double dates with every pair, having barely any chance to talk to them and ending with single post sex photo. Game has lost a lot of it's side-depth (since match 3 part is the main thing),
- limited functionality of HunieBee. Now you're forced to skip a date to chat with Kyu, to see unlocked stuff.
Last thing. Since GOG is the only platform that received censored version of this game (??), it's good to know (for those interested), that there's a patch bringing it to the same level that other platforms offer: https://www.huniepop.com/patch/HP2SteamyPatch.dat
I don't really know what to say besides a couple of things. The new system for leveling up your character is strange and sort of confusing. And the last one, I definitely don't like some of the cast in a way that I'm neither interested in the route or any events with them... also, what happened to my cat-girl?
