  • story
    155 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is generally praised for its engaging characters, humor, and interactive elements, with many players appreciating the unique narratives for each dad. However, a common frustration is the paywall that restricts access to additional storylines, leading to complaints about limited free content and technical issues that disrupt gameplay. Overall, while the story is well-crafted and enjoyable, the monetization strategy and bugs detract from the overall experience.

    • “The story is phenomenal, and I always find myself going back to figure out every aspect of the dads.”
    • “Absolutely incredible game, I adored the storylines, characters, art style, and voice acting.”
    • “The perfect game if you want to see some amazing artwork, along with a great interactive story.”
    • “The biggest issue is that I've been following Robert's storyline, and on the third date, on the first option, I told him no.”
    • “You basically have to buy if you want to get anywhere considering it takes 3 dates per person to complete a storyline, and they only give you 2 dates free.”
    • “This game gives you enough to do one story arc or 3 dates before you hit a paywall; all in all, I played a total of maybe 3 hours before finding this out.”
  • humor
    62 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is widely praised for its cleverness, charm, and relatability, featuring a mix of dad jokes, puns, and quirky character interactions that keep players engaged and entertained. Reviewers highlight the balance of humor with emotional depth, making the characters feel genuine and the storyline both funny and touching. Overall, the game's witty dialogue and unique comedic style contribute significantly to its appeal, making it a memorable experience for players.

    • “Solid graphics, easy controls, good fast forward system and extremely creative/funny/nerdy dialogue.”
    • “It's the perfect balance of romance, humor, dad jokes, and wholesomeness that I can't get enough of!”
    • “This game is hilarious and wonderfully written.”
  • monetization
    42 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed feedback, with many players expressing a preference for ad-based revenue models over the current paywall for in-app purchases. While some appreciate the absence of ads, others feel that the limited free access and high costs for additional features hinder gameplay, suggesting alternatives like watching ads for extra content or implementing daily rewards. Overall, players are seeking more accessible ways to enjoy the game without significant financial investment.

    • “There's a reason games with microtransactions do so well.”
    • “I always wanted to play Dream Daddy, but I don't have my own credit card to use on my laptop. This is very well put together, and I understand making an in-game purchase feature because the entire game is free on its own.”
    • “You pay for the messages and you can read the story without interruptions (no ads nor minigame cooldown).”
    • “I feel like the description is a bit misleading - instead of saying it has in-app purchases, the game company should consider just straight up making people buy the app.”
    • “At first I was excited, but to push the game as free and then lock the full functionality (i.e., date all the dads) behind a $14.99 paywall and limit the free trial (which the app listing does not mention) to 3 messages is disappointingly similar to how EA locked 95% of Battlefront II behind similar paywalls and microtransactions.”
    • “Please implement a way to get more texts without paying, like with ads or daily login rewards so that you can finish all dads without paying $15.”
  • graphics
    39 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game are widely praised for their vibrant, comic book-inspired art style and overall aesthetic appeal, contributing significantly to the enjoyment of the gameplay and storyline. However, some users noted technical issues, such as pixelation and unresponsive elements, which detracted from the experience. Despite these concerns, the visuals are generally considered a standout feature, enhancing the game's charm and engagement.

    • “Graphics are comic book-esque, neat, and colorful.”
    • “The graphics are amazing and each storyline is so detailed.”
    • “Not only is it made by some of my favorite YouTubers, the graphics and characters are fantastic.”
    • “But they did a terrible job at translating the graphics, and I just can't play it here with pixels missing in my dad's hair and his neck shadow halfway down his neck and not under it.”
    • “Games with 3D graphics aren't this unresponsive and don't chug this badly.”
    • “The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that if you redo your character, it makes the graphic a blurry white and red image.”
  • stability
    28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is a significant concern, with numerous users reporting frequent freezes, crashes, and glitches that hinder gameplay. While some players appreciate the engaging story and art, the technical issues—such as being locked out of the game and persistent loading screen problems—detract from the overall experience. Many hope for updates to address these stability issues, as they currently make the game nearly unplayable for some.

    • “It has a lot of problems. I wanted to like the game, but there are so many things wrong. It won't connect to my internet no matter what, it freezes during dialogue, when you build your dad the scroller doesn't work, and the rest of the story is behind a paywall. I understand wanting money back for your game, but it shouldn't hinder the ability to play and enjoy the game.”
    • “The game freezes and crashes every 5-10 minutes, and I have to reload the whole app.”
    • “The dialog box glitches occasionally, preventing you from proceeding. Loading screens will freeze, and I have to completely close the app to get it to run again, or else it's stuck with a dark screen.”
  • emotional
    27 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The emotional aspect of the game is highlighted by its perfect blend of humor, heartwarming moments, and genuine storytelling, particularly in the father-daughter relationship. Players express feeling a range of emotions, from joy and laughter to sadness and nostalgia, as they navigate the game's touching narratives. Overall, the game is praised for its ability to evoke strong emotional connections with its characters while maintaining a lighthearted tone.

    • “This game made me feel things, like I was the dad watching my daughter grow and get ready for college as well as what it's like to go through a loss.”
    • “Not only is this game hilarious, but it also had just the right amount of emotional scenes, and I love the characters (especially your daughter).”
    • “This game is surprisingly wholesome and heartwarming and funny.”
  • gameplay
    26 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Many users appreciate the character customization options, but frustrations arise from bugs that disrupt the experience and the perceived shortness of gameplay. Overall, while there are enjoyable elements, technical problems and monetization concerns detract from the overall experience.

    • “The gameplay is uncomplicated and easy to use, although additional instructions for the mini games would be appreciated.”
    • “Characters are incredible, gameplay is funny and I feel as though I could replay this game a million times without it becoming too repetitive.”
    • “Lovely and wholesome, really enjoyed the easy gameplay and funny dialogue.”
    • “Plus, the gameplay is nothing short of laggy and terrible to control; I couldn't even get past the character creation without terrible lag that made it difficult to just navigate through the menus.”
    • “The gameplay is horrible... so much reading, about your teenage daughter.”
    • “It stops all gameplay after the tutorial as well, which is unfortunate.”

While some players experienced minor glitches affecting music playback, the overall consensus is that the soundtrack significantly enhances the gaming experience, complementing the beautiful art and compelling stories.

    • “The stories are engaging and well-written, the art is beautiful, the music is great... there were minor glitches, but to me, it did not take away from the experience.”
    • “Seriously, the soundtrack singlehandedly is amazing, and paired with a unique story and stunning artwork, this game is a little gem.”
    • “The art was amazing, the characters are well built, the games are charming, and the music is bopping. I would recommend it to anyone who loves a good story.”
    • “The music fails to play on the title screen.”
    • “I opened the app and when I pressed play it takes me to a black screen; I've rebooted the game and the same problem occurs, I just hear the song in the background.”
    • “From the music all the way to the artwork.”
  • character development
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Character development in the game is generally praised for its uniqueness and depth, with players expressing strong attachment to characters like Robert. While some found the character design appealing, others felt that the overall development lacked engagement, leading to mixed feelings about the narrative experience.

  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the game enjoyable but note that its replayability is limited without financial investment. Suggestions include introducing alternative methods to earn in-game currency, such as watching ads or achieving specific scores in mini-games, to enhance playability.

    • “The game offers a variety of choices that significantly change the outcome, making each playthrough feel fresh and exciting.”
    • “With multiple endings and different character paths, I find myself coming back to explore all the possibilities.”
    • “The random events and challenges keep the gameplay dynamic, ensuring that no two sessions are ever the same.”
    • “The game is fun, but the issue is that you can only do one playthrough if you don't have money. It would be better if there were ways to make the game more playable without spending money, like watching ads or achieving a certain score in mini-games to earn message passes.”
    • “Once you finish the game, there's little incentive to replay it. The lack of new content or different paths makes it feel like a one-and-done experience.”
    • “While the initial playthrough is enjoyable, the game lacks the depth and variety needed to encourage multiple runs. It feels repetitive after the first completion.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users have expressed frustration with the grinding aspect of the game, particularly highlighting issues with endless loading screens that hinder gameplay and create a tedious experience. Additionally, there are concerns about the game's performance on different devices, suggesting that it may run better on certain models, while the large app size could be problematic for users with smaller phones.

    • “The grinding in this game feels endless and tedious, making the experience frustrating.”
    • “I found the grinding to be extremely slow and unengaging, which really detracted from my enjoyment.”
    • “The constant need to grind for resources made the game feel more like a chore than a fun experience.”
  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The optimization of the game has received mixed feedback, with some users experiencing endless loading screens and performance issues, particularly on certain devices. While the game runs smoothly on some models, others report problems like black screens, suggesting that performance may vary significantly based on hardware. Additionally, the large app size may not be suitable for devices with limited storage.
