    HuniePop 2: Double Date isn’t meant to be a serious story, but it is a serious match-three puzzle game. The gameplay systems are strategic and punishing as they force players to play multiple rounds to gain currency for items that will make the girls strong enough to reach the ever-increasing goal. Evidently, threesomes are a marathon and not a sprint, but at least you’re trying to save the world, right? Wait, I might have forgotten why I was even on this island in the first place.

    When it comes to the match 3 mechanic, HuniePop 2: Double Date is absolutely one of the best match 3 games out there. When it comes to story progression and character development, it’s a little lacking in comparison to its predecessor. Interested parties will still have plenty of fun on Inna de Poona, so no worries there — just don’t expect to foster any long-term relationships with the lovely ladies populating the place. Although, on a lust-filled island, you’re probably not looking for commitment anyway. For a good time, give HuniePop 2: Double Date a chance.

    It could have, and should have, been so much more than just a bigger version of the original. The new characters would have been problematic in 2015, let alone 2021.

The new mechanics are not that interesting and more of a chore than anything, the art is decent enough but nothing special, and worst of all the sex scenes aren't even animated. Just a .jpg you can see on the web. The new cast is nice and varied, too bad my old favourite is missing (Beli), but the girls are good and the over-the-top dialogues are fun.

    Still a fun game, but it's a shame.    … Full Review »

Even that double dating thing is annoying having to switch characters after 1-2 plays is getting old very very quickly and is replaced by frustration when one loses their stamina (horrible idea). They should have sticked with the original concept, with more girls each having more levels, at least in the first one we played a game!… Full Review »

    This game has some issues.

    If you played the first you know what you are getting into. If not its basically bejeweled crossed with a soft core visual novel.(in some regions you have to add an additional "steamy" file to the installation for nudity)

    First issue is I cant recall if the first game was this racist but the game is filled with racist stereotypes. Insinuations of blacks on welfare, Violent Latina with a lot of brothers who steal and have done time, Dumb southern girl, etc. They also put in a trap to pander to this demographic yet tripped over more intolerant tropes along the way. Honestly for the target demographic that typically plays Visual novels like this Its a little surprising. I will be more surprised if this doesnt end up triggering "cancel culture"

    Next, the double date system adds more mechanics to a system that really didn't need much more. Some of it welcome, a lot of it not. Overall the mechanical revamp is overall good but definitely not great.

    On voice acting the established characters are still just as good as you remember. However most of the new characters hit real wrong. Also I understand reusing the same voice talent but its real glaring when some of the characters interact and have the same voice underneath. Many of the new characters are pretty grating too which is very disappointing.

    Also it takes a ridiculous amount of system ram for a visual novel. While 4gb of ram use is not a lot for gaming any more, for a visual novel its outrageous.

    All in all the game is still solid and enjoyable enough to burn through a day worth of typical visual novel fun, even if the puzzle part really doesn't benefit from the added complexity. Enjoyed it well enough, but ultimately it was a let down from the first in my honest opinion. 7/10    … Full Review »
