story8 positive mentions
gameplay3 negative mentions
  • Well-written and emotionally engaging heroine routes with distinct personalities, appealing to a broad range of preferences.
  • High-quality art, expressive sprites, polished CGs, and strong professional Japanese voice acting that bring characters to life.
  • Balanced mix of wholesome romance, meaningful conversations, humor, and well-integrated adult content (with patch), creating an immersive romantic comedy experience.
  • The gameplay is mostly linear with very limited player choices that have minimal impact on the story outcomes.
  • Heavy reuse of backgrounds and soundtrack assets from the original game feels cost-cutting and reduces freshness.
  • The game requires an external patch to access the full content and mature scenes, with the unpatched version being extremely short and prone to crashing.

    The story in Making*Lovers: First Blush is character-driven and focuses on romance with four distinct heroine routes, each offering a unique and charming narrative centered on daily life and relationship development. While not complex or choice-heavy, the story is engaging, wholesome, and emotionally satisfying, encouraging players to invest in their chosen heroine's journey. The game balances light humor and heartfelt moments, delivering a sweet and enjoyable romance experience beyond its erotic scenes.

    • “Making lovers first blush, being a sequel of sorts to the first game, really nailed the charm the original had while still being its own unique story.”
    • “I went in expecting a simple visual novel with a half-baked story just to have something to give the characters a reason to get intimate, but I played it for 4 hours, got invested in the characters, chose one as my favorite, had plenty of wholesome moments that had me grinning before I ran into any explicit scene, and I loved every second of it.”
    • “After a short prologue, you choose one heroine, and the story follows their relationship as a couple, focusing on daily life, dates, and how their feelings develop over time.”
    • “If you are looking for a complex story with major choices, this is not the game for you.”
    • “The route is mostly linear with minor branch choices that do not affect the main story.”
    • “The choice of dating location doesn’t really impact the overall outcome of the story or the sex scenes, but it does offer different dialogues with the heroines, so seeing all the results of the different choices can be quite charming.”
