HUNIEPOP

oh my god... oh my god it's true..."

Studio HuniePot's HuniePop fused tile-matching puzzle gameplay and anime dating sims to provide to players laughs, eroticism, and the catharsis of a puzzle well-played; possibly establishing itself as a higher standard of what's expected and respectable in erotic gaming.
Of course, the game itself is no masterpiece; there are gripes within the scandalous position of seducing so many women in such an uncomfortable, stalker-like manner (by supernatural means of knowing exactly where each woman is at any point in time) but the motivations of the protagonist are innocent and harmless enough (to make friends and get laid) to keep the game at a pleasant tone which should console any shameful doubts. In fact, even the women you seduce are humanized by how nicely they were written; which wards off any feelings of self-disgust the player may have when confronted with the realization that they've been having virtual sex with fake women on their computer screen for seven hours.
The voice acting is fine and the different characters you have to date are personalized by different tastes in women (and by fetish: there's a sex-crazed milf, a kinky asian, a bashful shut-in, and even a cat-girl for furries). And I'll mention this again: cynical players will probably be surprised by how respectfully your prey (the girls) are written; there are actually some tragic irony to find in the personalities of every girl you date if you look hard enough. (For example, one girl you date, Tiffany, is the daughter of the aforementioned milf, Jessie, who is disgusted with her mother and Jessie's choices in lifestyle. Yet when Jesse asks you in conversation which subject is most important, the answer she appreciates most is "family", and she trails off: "Unfortunately, my daughter doesn't really speak to me anymore... *sighs* What're you gonna do?")
You can either appreciate HuniePop's self-aware writing overflowing with steamy flirtation, implausible fantasy and shameless humor, or you can not-- and smack the spacebar/left-mouse-key with the sick impatience most readers of hentai games have, waiting to get to the ecchi porn to screenshot for...further use.
Perhaps some can read into HuniePop too deeply and see how casual dating is indeed "just a game" and analyze some parts of it, but it would be a waste of time. HuniePop's charm is how open and self-aware it is of its dirty genre; how it's meant to be a guilty pleasure for anime/ecchi fans and tile-matching gamers to play when no one else is in the room, and a handy box of tissues close at hand. But looking back over the years, it has possibly raised the bar for just how fun and carefree a game with no restrictions on sexual content can be.
But alas! There are still some nitpicks that take away from it coming close to something I'd recommend to those looking for inspirational DIA experiences. The truth is even after an hour of playing the design of HuniePop starts to feel stiff and formulaic in the ritual of "dating sim-puzzle-dating sim-puzzle-it's night time let's have sex puzzle time..." The fusion is refreshing but exhausting nonetheless the more time we spend attending to it. We read. We laugh. We solve a puzzle. We get a boner. Eventually the game starts feeling like a bitter tease that we need to find our own supernatural powers to pick up hot girls as swiftly as our character in the game.
Ugh, so in a nutshell, you can have fun with HuniePop, but beware of what feeling incurs with every pandering anime story: "Goddammit, why can't my life be THAT!?"
