LoveChoice

Overall, LoveChoice offers a good time to experience, at least once with each of the different endings. Priced at $4.99, I think it is worth it. I can tell a lot of heart and love was put into this title.

    170 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

  • grinding
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and simplistic, particularly criticizing the restaurant search minigame for its repetitive nature and lack of engaging content. While some appreciate the short runtime, many feel that the grinding detracts from character investment and overall enjoyment, often requiring guides to navigate certain tasks. Overall, the grinding experience is seen as a significant drawback, making the gameplay feel more like a chore than an engaging challenge.

    • “As far as actual gameplay, the restaurant search minigame is easily in the top 5 most tedious minigames I've ever encountered.”
    • “The story goes by so fast that you're unable to become attached or invested in any of the characters, so the game just kinda ends up becoming grinding the same storyline with a few choices for new endings so you can move on to the next one.”
    • “The problem with that is you have to wait for the entire minigame to end before being able to retry it, which gets tedious.”
  • humor
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “Very funny and realistic - especially the second story about time and kilometers among lovers... and the choice of career or love in our lives.”
    • “It was funny that my first ending was the breakup ending. I learned a lot from that, and thank you for the heartwarming stories.”

    • “Not funny at all.”
    • “Not funny.”
    • “Lacked humor.”
  • replayability
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game offers high replayability due to its branching narrative structure and multiple endings, encouraging players to explore different outcomes.

  • character development
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Character development in the game is highlighted as a strong point, particularly in romance-focused narratives where choices significantly impact the story. While some players appreciate the depth and richness of character arcs, others feel that certain titles lack sufficient development, leading to a disconnect with the characters. Overall, the game offers a mix of profound storytelling and character growth, though opinions vary on its execution.

    • “For fans of romance-focused games, Lovechoice offers a rich narrative playground where choices truly matter and character development takes center stage.”

    • “The character design options that are available are very good, but there are a few things that are missing, like options to add really unique ear shapes or specific characteristics to your character.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “Technical performance is stable.”
    • “Performance-wise, I haven't encountered any bugs or crashes (for those concerned about it being an early access game).”
    • “The English for the love detective story could use a bit of smoothing out, but it's nothing that makes the scenario unintelligible.”
    • “Performance-wise, I haven't encountered any bugs or crashes (for those concerned about it being an early access game). However, the optimization could use significant improvement.”
    • “The game runs decently, but there are noticeable frame drops during intense scenes that disrupt the experience.”
    • “While the technical performance is stable, the overall optimization feels lacking, leading to longer load times and occasional stuttering.”
  • stability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is described as having stability issues, particularly with conversation glitches that prevent certain features, like thought bubbles, from functioning properly. Despite these bugs, players find the game to be playable, albeit with some frustration.

    • “It's an alright game, and best of all a short one; however, the conversation glitches for me, and even after I match all of the things, I never get the thought bubbles to appear.”
    • “I did accidentally get them to start making content-specific speech bubbles about their things before that, once, but I haven't been able to replicate it. The truth is, this sleepy little awkward 'love' story doesn't really make me care enough to bother troubleshooting it, not when the option to refund and get some money back hovers overhead.”
    • “ buggy, but still playable”
