The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some praising the detailed visuals and character customization options, while others criticize the default settings as poor and requiring extensive tweaking and mods. Many users express frustration over the game's high price tag relative to its overall quality, particularly in light of censorship issues and gameplay limitations. Overall, while the graphics are noted as a strong point, they are often overshadowed by concerns about value and functionality.
- “The visuals are really great, although the censored aspect of it was annoying at first.”
- “Amazing graphics, detailed customization, voice acting, and good gameplay.”
- “I think the graphics look slightly better than the original version.”
- “The UI is still a complete mess (maybe even worse than the first Honey Select). The character creator, while offering a lot of creation possibilities, is still among the least intuitive and ergonomic I've seen. The graphics by default are awful if you're not ready to spend hours fine-tuning the settings and plugging in mods. On top of that, they ask for a AAA price tag while not even being remotely close to AAA quality.”
- “However, there is no running, walking, or full-body visuals of the girls moving around you (the player).”
- “The graphics are a little better, but the character creator is better in some ways (more control over hair, sliders for many detailed face parts) and worse in others (e.g., 0% breast slider = D cup, 100% = gigantic mutant cow udders). There's not much difference in gameplay.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it overly simplistic and lacking depth, particularly in terms of story and engaging mechanics. While the character creator and graphics are praised, many feel that the gameplay does not justify the game's price, with some suggesting the addition of more interactive elements like a health system. Overall, the gameplay is described as minimal and not particularly captivating, despite some enjoyable aspects like dynamic animations and character interactions.
- “For the gameplay portion, the player can walk around and visit various rooms and interact with potential partners through discussion, sex (up to threesomes so far and many positions and all well-crafted and change based on environmental setup, partner's reaction/stamina, etc.), surprises, and more while being treated to a visual feast of absolutely marvelous dynamic animations.”
- “Amazing graphics, detailed customization, voice acting and good gameplay.”
- “The graphics are pretty decent, and the character creator is rather swell; but for as expensive as it is, the gameplay is just too simple and not at all engaging.”
- “In the end, I can't really recommend the game at its price point as there did not appear to be much, if any, story or gameplay that I could find in the allotted two-hour test window, and though the character creator is neat, I don't feel that it alone is worth that much.”
- “As for the gameplay itself, for newbies: yes, there is gameplay, if you can call it that.”

- “Disadvantages: some of the character rendering in HS2 is not quite as well-done, particularly with genitals, and there's less of a story context to the sex acts.”
