Unreal Engine - Completed - Last Hope [v1.0174] [Poolside Games]

This game is very beautiful. Does anyone know if there will be an update? Because it could be even better. The characters in the game can react according to your clothes, and most of them don't even exist in the game. These cutscenes are not bad, judging by the NPCs, the development part is a bit boring (that is, the relationship-enhancing parts), the cutscenes are quite nice, I will definitely buy the game (I think it is excellent).

I can't with clear conscience give this game 3 stars, but at the same time giving it 4 feels bad too and I only do that because of how much effort was put into this game.

Models are hot, story is just a porn plot, mechanics and how the game works in general is really neat and feels pretty good, but while these things are impressive from a technical standpoint, they don't make it a good porn game.

The gameplay loop is really tedious because of how slow things are moving in this game (literally and figuratively) - walking in a 3d space and waiting on other characters is a pain, sex scenes are really, REALLY samey for the most part (at least they feel samey), constantly checking menu for what to do next is vomit inducing, even if the dev really made it almost as good of a system as it could be it still just shouldn't exist if the game flow was intuitive and many, many more small design issues that pile up to sour the experience.

My last and biggest gripe is sex scenes, in late stages of the game scenes are full, complete and pretty good, but before that point these scenes were played in parts so I've seen first half of each scene 5 times at this point and almost completely lost interest.

Ehh, after writing that last paragraph I'm pulling it down to 3 stars, it's 7/10 but there is no rating like this so it is what it is.

One of the best sex games ever (for a straight guy). The game banner/cover may not appeal so much but while the 3D models turn out decent (great naked bodies), the story, gameplay and sex content will turn you on and drain you like an industrial drainage system.

No voice acting
No meaningful story
And still I'm giving it 5 stars because in the gameplay department it delivers big time.
This game don't have 50 girls in it, so you don't have to go through 47 boring girls to finally get to the ones that matter, Mom, Sis and Aunt.
Don't get me wrong, even with 3 girls you'll get a lot of great sex scenes.
I had a lot of fun with this one, and many lonely nights weren't that lonely anymore.
I highly recommend this game, it's sometime a little annoying to force yourself to play the game with one hand (two hands are required for this game) but knowing what's waiting at the end, it is worth it 100%.

If this were implemented as a RenPy sandbox VN, it'd probably be sitting at around 3 stars, maybe 4. However, it being fully animated and allowing for free-roaming does boost things substantially, but make no mistake - the game is still essentially a sandbox VN in almost all of its mechanics, and this includes some predictable weaknesses:

- Girls follow standard WEG archetypes: You have your MILF, the bratty sister, and the horny aunt. There are a few other girls but they are sorta disconnected from everything else in a way that represents feature bloat.

- The plot is almost non-existent, and to the extent it does exist it is rather silly. But that's okay, I'd rather have a silly plot that I can ignore than a stupid one that wastes a lot of time.

- There is a bit of feature bloat but the core experience of the game is there and can be pursued without engaging the bloat. I mostly have in mind the money-collection minigame, which I didn't even realize was fully implemented until the postgame since it is just not relevant. There are also some random activities like setting up spycams that technically exist I guess but do not seem to have any payoff. I guess if the intention was to *not* have this come off as bloat it should've been integrated into the main game more clearly, where there are progression gates around buying items or using spycams. The same could be said of any of the activities on the "other ship" - it's technically there but if you're trying to follow the mainline progression you probably will not engage with it much.

- The game relies heavily on the sandbox VN formula of having each girl have a schedule, where you can interact with them doing certain activities in scripted ways that have a few choices (and more choices are unlocked as intimacy deepens.) I did like the mechanic that let you influence their schedules and set up the events that you want to see. Progression is simple enough to achieve, and doesn't require much grinding, but there are moments when it's unclear what specific choices you need to make to see each scene. A nice QOL feature would be is if it showed clearly what the scene is that you can achieve even before you've done it.

- The game basically has a placeholder ending. I'm not saying it needs one exactly, since long ending scenes are often annoying, and the real "ending" is being able to unlock some postgame scenes, but maybe those should be more rewarding and/or give closure to the game?

Those are some particular points but the headline point stands: Mechanically/gameplay wise, this is basically a sandbox VN. Not a great one, but a competent one that doesn't waste your time. But the fully 3d implementation is so welcome that it deserves 5 stars.

Finally after searching long and and hard I found a decent sleep sex game aside from that the the game mechanism is easy to follow the graphics are fairly good the models are not perfect but good I would’ve worked more on feet and nails a bit the game play time is good not a 30 min top game you can play hours and still have new content all in all compared to many games I played I enjoyed this a lot thank you dev

Really, really enjoyed this game.

It's very rare to get an NSFW game made in unity of this quality. While it's no AA or AAA beast (obviously), it's still an impressive achievement nonetheless. The game doesn't meander, doesn't drag around player with too many useless tasks and instead has a clear vision and accomplishes it succinctly and successfully.

You start off with a brief intro that, if taken seriously, would make you laugh but the game never pretends to be nothing more but a sex game (yay! finally!). Shortly after the intro you are stranded in space with 3 busty ladies that are not too distinct from one another in terms of personality but distinct enough for the purposes of the game. Basically you have to cum your brains out into jars that fill tanks to progress the game. Why not, I suppose?

The game progresses naturally and rather quickly, there isn't much grinding at all. In-game menu is comfortable and easy to navigate, events are very easy to obtain and it's also easy to understand how to get new ones going.

Graphics are good, not great not terrible. In-game engine works smoothly in sex scenes although I did find camera control to be slightly awkward at times.

Sex scenes are very vanilla, so there's that.

All in all it was a joy to play this game and I commend everyone involved in the project on completing said game and that they didn't get mired in feature creep or scene creep or character creep. Complete game that is very polished that will give you several great evenings to spend gooning after a tiresome day at work.

5/5.

It's a pretty slow burn. It's easy to progress through due to the in-game guide on which can be accessed, how, and when. The models look good. The animations are just a tad unpolished, but I'd say they're definitely better than average for 3D porn games.

One of the best games around.
The alien girls should have also been impregnated IMO, but still, great game.
I also think that camera controls could be improved.
Really hoping for another game from Poolside.

This game has better porn than Subverse.
To everyone saying that this game is grindy, its absolutely not. It has better checklist and mission log than most games on this website. Definitely gonna invest in the next game from this dev.

Comprehensive game with unique gameplay. The real time play is unique compared to most other games and there are a variety of scenarios/scenes. The rotating schedule combined with the "special" scenes make gameplay engaging.

Great game with innovative 3d style.
Classically silly plot, but it moves things on in an interesting enough way.
Fun leveling system, fun unlockables.

I do not know how people are getting reviews in under 200 words but I'd like to know how they've done it as it's a silly rule. I just want to rate the game and now I'm criticizing the review system.

A lot of great scenes to go through. The checklist is super helpful to make sure you get to see everything. Make sure you fly the spaceship and ask the girl to help you by taking pictures early so you don't have to grind that later on.

This game is a 2, a 3 tops and that is because it is one of those grindy AF sandbox games with all the content gated behind GRIND. You will CONSTANTLY be seeing the same scenes, the same environments, and navigating through the same rooms over and over and over and over. The dialogue isn't even changed so you will be forced to slog through the events over and over and over. Your reward for enduring the grind? More grind for more events right afterwards. Repeat this again, and again, and again, and again upwards of 10 times in order to try to unlock everything. That is all you really will be doing here because the story is non existent, it's just the minimal amount of effort to give the setting a reason to exist. The girls are good looking with exaggerated portions, but there is no variety here amongst them. The writing for them is also all over the place. In one moment they will be climbing all over you and then the next they will say I'm busy go bother somebody else. I get that people are rating this a 5 and creaming themselves over it because it's a "game" instead of like a VN ren'py game, but that doesn't make the end result good and this is not good.

I gave the game 5/5 already after like 20min playing and now after finishing the game, I can say that the game is PERFECT for me.

There is not too much grind, all the grind is a loop to get new scenes.
There are a ton of lewd scenes, you don't grind for hours to get a glimpse of a girls boobs and end the game with 6 scenes like a lot of games do.
3 main girls, you slowly corrupt them and have a lot fun with them in different places which upgrades with the time and gets you in threesomes and more.

Devs put a lot of effort to create a nice small ship atmosphere, with trivial but nice "idle" animations, like cooking workout etc.

Sex animations are outstanding, in each animation you can watch in first person as MC or fly in locked cycle around the scenes, MC can be made perfectly semi invisible, where you see the penis but barley the body, I wish each 3D game would have such an option.

After a while you unlock more options for some scenes and you can put the condom on or off accompanied with proper dialogs.
Girls bodies are very similar, all have huge boobs which is a small negative point, could have a bit more variety, but I personally don't care that much, I love big boobs and imo they are not too big in the game.
Their faces are also not very good, but are hot enough, with different hairstyles.
Another pleasant surprise were intractable dreams. Even with some small "puzzles".
And the game has even pregnancy in it, for people who might care, you can even toggle it on or off after beating the game.

Overall, the gameplay is exactly what I wished Subverse would be. Studio FOW's models and animations combined with the gameplay of Last Hope would make an awesome sex game.

I remember this game from its first versions, when the models were still pretty crude and not very attractive. Even then the potential of the game could be seen, even without the quality of life updates.
I can decisively declare this game to be the best 3d h-game that I played.
When thinking about why is that, I came to a very unsatisfying conclusion.

- I don't really like games where the MC is a fucking horny 16 yo.. It is pretty boring and cliche already due to the amount of games that go there.
- It is quite annoying that the most used screen in the game is the schedule tab and it is not the one that opened when opening the tabs menu.
- The love meter is useless. It will get maxed out in like 20% into the game so there is no real point to it.
- At some point, due to the hint system, I was just chasing the next scene and skipping throughout the game - and that became the whole game, just skipping to the next scene. Don’t get me wrong, i'm greatful for the hint system otherwise I would quit the game long ago if I had to trial and error to find all the new content.
- The story is really lame and the characters aren't special. They are pretty stereotypical. The bitchy, the horny and the innocent.
- The game has no real reason to be a 3D "exploration" game because its exploration phase ends pretty fast and you just go from point A to point B to trigger the next scene. It just gives the player a little bit of agency.
- Some old systems like the spy cameras are just useless and there is nothing interesting to see there really, just better approach and interact with the scene instead of looking at it from the camera, but i assume some people have this fetish.

Now all that aside, I still give the game 5 stars which seems absurd to me. The one thing that the game did very well in my opinion was how hot were the scenes. I never played an h-game that nailed the scenes so well and on top of that the models are pretty hot and the animations are silky smooth. All of this combined and it being an incest just made the game worth it through the end.

I have to give it 5/5, one of the best 3d games on unreal engine. It was like a fresh air in the porn games genre. Maybe it lacked a more developed story but overall I really enjoyed the setting. Sex animations were amazing as well, with nice controlls to change POV, scenes also changed depending on how close you were to the girl. Good job, Poolside Games.

Super Game!
Would be perfect with more options in Scences.
I really like the Story and the Grafic-Style.
That's all I have to say - why do I have to write 200 letters?
Because a short review is also good if you

Better than any Illusion game. I’m not comparing but Illusion ist just the Titan in sex games. You managed to surpass them and I am now a proud patreon supporter. I pray that this isn’t your last project as I am now a lifelong supporter of poolside games

Awesome game. One of the best I've played in a while. Kept me hooked from start to finish. My only complaint is the quality of the sex scenes isn't the best you will ever see but this game and the sex is so hot you won't care. This game is nearly perfect. Highly recommend to everyone.
