    Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator has ample promise and a lot of heart, but wasn’t given enough time to grow. Most of the dads are lovely to get to know and worth dating. Players want to spend more time with these guys, but only get three relatively brief dates to whet their appetite. Then there’s the fact that it doesn’t yet feel finished due to a fair share of typographical issues, mishmash of art styles and the amount of gameplay bugs still impacting the experience. Once patches go out these latter issues should be resolved, but nothing short of DLC or a sequel will bring players more time with the cast of dads who simply weren’t given enough time in the spotlight to really shine.

    Having played this game, I cannot find anything bad from it besides for the occasional sadness from some of the routes. The writing is amazingHaving played this game, I cannot find anything bad from it besides for the occasional sadness from some of the routes. The writing is amazing and the character designs could not have been any better. My computer can even run this game on Daddy settings, showing the compatibility of this game between systems even on the lower end of the graphic quality spectrum to the most high quality computers/laptops. I am a fan of this and I recommend that you play it, and no the game is not fully voiced and the creators even said that it would not be.… Full Review »

    I was absolutely psyched by the game when I first heard about it. As a gay man, seeing a non sexualised lgbt dating game made my day.

    The    I was absolutely psyched by the game when I first heard about it. As a gay man, seeing a non sexualised lgbt dating game made my day.

    The audio is fun, the characters are so incredibly realistic (and so are the dialogues, my friends and I could barely contain our laughter at some of the jokes; finally a game that understands nowadays' humour!)
    You could chose to have a cis or trans character, let him have a wife or a husband in the past, and the dialogue choices all made me giggle out loud. The moments with your daughter are endearing, and overall, actually made me shed a tear at some point. This game is a guilty pleasure that keeps on giving.    … Full Review »

    Not a Game Grumps or visual novel fan but had a blast with Dream Daddy regardless.

    The humor is funny and tasteful, characters are endearing and likeable
    The mini games are a nice break up from the story but some need to be explained a little more than they are
    The campaign is short and to the point but could use more than three dates per character and an ending that doesn't feel rushed.

    This is a comfort food game. Filling, not extremely difficult but most importantly, wholesome. It's personally worth the pricetag currently but if you're still weary, wait until a steam sale.    … Full Review »
