Kate Beckinsale In Big City (V0.55) is a decent game but nothing great.
Render quality is quite good but maybe lacking some more detailed lighting. Environments, backgrounds and props are well done. Women are hot but at the same time generic looking. This is supposed to be a story of a girl moving to the city and being corrupted. I didn't see much corruption (if any), just a girl that either will do anything to get herself off or just say no (your choice). It takes a very good writer to build a corrupt path and make it believable, which this game sadly lacks. Many events are railroaded so you don't get to choose most things. Even if you choose lesbian path or not.
There are some hot scenes and scenarios in here that will please quite a lot of people. My favs were the car wash and the late night at the office. Even though some of the scenes are good. There's no coherent story or plot. Feels like Dev has just put in all these events in at random. As if nothing was pre planned. Her Dad's sickness is supposed to be extremely critical but he seems completely fine. Always joking , travelling hours to see her, no pain etc. Yet he needs this specialist doctor urgently? Which seems to resolve itself of its own volition. That should have been a corruption/blackmail plot to get the father the help he needed. No thought whatsoever seems to be put into the story or corruption path.
Writing is average - sometimes dialogue is fine, other times it's noticeably bad. Half the text in the game is just the male character's thoughts of how hot Victoria is and how bad they want to bang her. Joshua (coworker) is the only one that seems to have some sort of personality. He obviously starts out as a perv but gets more endearing as the game goes on. Ben is a strange character, treats Victoria well to her face but has some mild perverted thoughts. Then acts dominant later with degrading names, while also doing romantic gestures throughout!? This game is all over the place with it's characters and stories. Like a jumbled mess that hits its mark 25% of the time.
The lewd and sex scenes are fine, some animations that look good. I don't mind if there's no animations at all. Strangely this game seems like it needs it more than most. The dev constantly writes things during the sex scenes like:
Slap, Schtoosh, Grope, Fwaack, Vigorously Rubbing, Heavy Panting, etc. Why not either make a couple extra renders showing that, put in a couple sound effects or do the animation. Even when characters are shown kissing or sucking it will still show *KISS* *Heavily Sucking* in words haha. Writing all these silly words is the worst thing to do. Feels like the old Adam West Batman TV Show lol. First it was annoying then it became unintentionally hilarious.
There is only one song playing the whole game. It just loops over and over, so you'd rather put music off.
Some male characters are supposed to be certain races but you can see that the dev/artist just made their skin colour darker on a white man's body. It's strange and distracting, when there are so many other characters available that would suit better.
Overall it's not bad it's just a bit meh. Has a lot of potential though! I just don't see it getting any better unless the Dev gets another writer. Then it would make a huge difference. Right now it's just a quick porn game with nothing memorable. Lots of horny lewd scenes put together at random. Mainly foreplay, with a couple of actual sex scenes.
I heard it's being remastered? lol. Unless you are hiring a new writer and editing scenes around a more complex story, there is no need. Play to your strengths, just keep it a simple sex romp, as with the limitations of the Dev's writing, it won't improve with only him working on it.
