Huniepop is one of those rare match three games that actually has a tiny bit of depth owing to some smart design decisions. Huniepop 2 is exactly what I was hoping for from a gameplay standpoint. Call me crazy, but I wouldn’t be surprised if a portion of the audience was entirely turned off from the get-go because they couldn’t visualize themselves as the player character anymore.
In the first game you’re an incel and in the second you’re a chad. In Huniepop 2 you’re a sex god who needs to use their righteous penis to save the galaxy. In Huniepop you’re framed as being a pathetic loser, but you rise up and get laid. I think they’re both kind of crap, but concluded the issue is less the story itself and more the framing. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how people thought the first game had a better story. I didn’t really need a reason to justify what I was doing, but if you want to provide one this time around I’ll bite. You have to sleep with all the pretty ladies so you can eventually defeat some crazy space hookers that are planning to destroy the universe. The premise is entirely outlandish, but it has a self-aware air about it that makes the stupidity laugh out loud funny instead of cringe. That is it.īy comparison, Huniepop 2 at least sets the player up with a goal they’re trying to work toward. If you can’t quite reach the required score then neither party had a great time and the date is a failure.Īfter learning how to navigate a date, it is then on the player to use their sexy match three skills to woo all the pretty ladies. Successful moves are meant to represent you successfully navigating the date and when you reach a certain score threshold within a certain number of moves the date is a success. Instead of navigating a bunch of dialogue and choosing the correct options to progress forward, players are presented with a match three board and play said board as an abstraction of the date. Kyu’s lesson is about the match three game that you’ll be playing whenever you go on a date. You then meet a magic fairy named Kyu who says she is going to help you gain the skills to woo ladies with the penultimate goal of getting laid. You are a romantically challenged individual who finds talking to women an impossible task. The first game has almost no story to speak of. With regard to the story, I thought the complaint was strange.
Because I have nothing better to do with my time, here’s my thoughts on both of those things. A lot of criticism was being levied at two aspects of the game in particular: the gameplay changes, and the story. I was trolling through the Steam reviews for the game and I noticed a trend in what I was reading in the negative reviews. I had a lot of fun, but that’s not exactly what this is about. I’m sure this will come as a surprise to no one, but I’ve played through the entirety of Huniepop 2: Double Date already.
