Love Esquire - RPG/Dating Sim/Visual Novel Reviews

Very fun game. All voices are great, suit their actors, and well versed... there was definitely effort put in the voice acting. MC was funny and likable, not OP in any way. All waifus were unique enough to want to try different playthroughs for romance, and each fun to romance. Their back stories and personalized storytelling actually make you want to see where the story goes. +Voice Acting was amazing +All characters involved were enjoyable +Although the rpg aspect of this game is generic for a VN style game, the RPG minigames are extremely enjoyable, unique and somewhat challenging. +Each waifu has their own personalized story making each playthrough a bit more different each time. Each of their stories is actually well thought out. +There is a debug menu in the game you can always have up to actively find events so you don't get lost. +Fun CG's +If your wanted the hentai/ecchi theres not too much here in the base game, but there are add-ons that add entire hentai scenes making the playthrough worthwhile. -Days are short but can be quite repetitive. -If you don't use the debug menu you will likely miss a lot of events an opportunities, or find yourself save scumming. -Unlike most visual novels, you actually need to put in work. -Walk cycle can be a bit annoying on how slow it can be, but honestly at longest its 5 seconds of walking. -Rare items don't always spawn.

I recommend this game for reasons you might not expect. The good: It's hella funny. The jokes are lighthearted and well thought. The story line for each route has its unique setting. The more you get to know a girl, the more depth you find in the plot. The voice acting is great. It really brings the game to life when two characters chat with one an another. Great story. As a visual novel it does a good job at pulling you into the story. Excellent art. The main characters are well detailed and there are many CGs to be had. Scenes can be watched again in the menu once you've seen them. The meh: This vanilla game does not contain real adult content. The most you'll get to see is panty shots, some cleave and the mention of sexual intercourse/toys, and that's it. If you came here looking for that, then you'll need to install mods for it. You're forced to choose only one girl at the time. Even if you try to romance all of them, the game prevent you from progressing with all of them. The bad: Voice volume sometimes go way lower than it can be heard. Terrible store system. You can sell in bulk, but you can only buy one item at the time. Your inventory and progression can only be seen at home. Special events are hard to unlock. These only happen at a specific time and place. It is really difficult to get them without help of the console and a guide. The godless grind. Each girl has 3 different endings, to which you'll have to start from scratch each time. Although, this is mitigated by the NG feature that allows you to keep your progress each time you get an ending. Awkward conversation system. You may only chat with a girl once a day and each topic can be brought up six times. After that, you'll get prompted to a scene saying you need to choose a different topic and then you'll be slowly sent back to the point before you clicked on a girl. Overall I think this game is an 8 out of 10. Just generally good. If you're into Visual Novels, give this a try.
