Sinners Landing

I love this game, one of the best lewd games I've played in years. And I've played a LOT of lewd games.
Solid, consistent quality in art, UI & navigation. Great art & dialog, though some conversations may drag on if you're just there for gooning. (As I was, until I realized the story & characters are actually interesting.)
Art:
The adult content is well drawn, & enough to keep my interest, though not so much that it detracts from the story. Honestly, the art itself doesn't even seem especially 'lewd' to me, just moderately erotic. The conversations it occurs in are what makes it hot!
Story:
The writing is quite good, all things considered. In many points, I actually slowed down to re-read a lot of dialog before enjoying the view. The characters are distinct & memorable. Everyone is sexually uninhibited, yet no one is
a brainless bimbo. This should be a more common trope. I also like the fact that an older character, Annya is included, & also portrayed as a sexual being, instead of a typical aged, & therefore, asexual humanoid.
UI:
I do like the quest journal, fast travel feature & ability to advance time - making quest progression convenient. Also found the 'red book' with character details handy for determining who to talk to, when, instead of bumbling around clicking on everything.
Mini-games:
Some of them are quite clever. Don't usually go in for them on one-handed games, but I made the exception, & honestly enjoy some of them. Overall, I'd say there are slightly too many & some are tedious, once you have seen them a few times.
Combat / quest progression is a bit grindy, & some fights are unpredictably tough. (I struggled for hours with fighting the tentacle monster in Izelle's lab.)
So far, I have only encountered what seems to be one major bug, but hoping it resolves after doing other quests. If it doesn't, it's still enjoyable, I plan on at least 2 more playthroughs as mage or priest.

If Porn Games had a game of the year category this would likely win it, I Don't even play porn games (there's better ways to get what i need lol) but a work friend told me it was worth a go anyways and he wasn't wrong. Only con is there's an ungodly amount of talking, very much so inspired by vn

I'm 17 hours in at this point, and I feel pretty confident in saying that this game is an eroge genre GOTY contender. Entertaining writing backed up by excellent art, animation, and pacing. The deckbuilding combat is pretty fun, although it's quite easy to tell when a card does and does not have good value. Gameplay segments are interspersed with really creative puzzle and painting sequences. I haven't seen something like this in many modern eroge in a way that's done well, but Sinners Landing gets it right. Also, excellent soundtrack. Blues is such a strong choice for the vibe of this game, it really suits the mood. Overall, an outstanding game, especially for the price. There is clearly so much effort and heart put into this, don't pass it up!

Flexible Media continues to, in my opinion, dominate the NSFW game market by consistently making all around enjoyable porn games.
Not only are the sex scenes enjoyable and filled with variety- the gameplay is actually fun, and the story within this game is well written too. They decided to keep the minigame system that is in their other titles and it also works very well here (changes made to fit the theme obvi).
The deck-builder combat system is very decent and more than I expected. You actually have to manage your deck well in order to progress.
I believe this is the most playtime I have put into my NSFW library and I don't regret it.
These guys have yet to let me down!
8/10

This game has explicit sexual content, but honestly it doesn't feel very embarrassing to have people know you're into it, in part because the content is (1) mostly vanilla and (2) actually embedded in a pretty decent game. Baldur's Gate 3 had a comparable level of nudity, though it did fade to black during actual sex scenes. (Of course, this game is not as good as Baldur's Gate 3, but what is?)

There are basically two games here, really, but they are nicely interleaved: There is a dating sim where you're trying to make each of the girls like you, and there is a card-based roguelike where you delve through dungeons for loot. The more the girls like you, the more they'll train you, unlocking new cards and empowering the ones you have; but to make them like you, you'll need items that are only found by delving through the dungeons. There are also some minigames, some better than others, to complete along the way (but I think pretty much all of them can be skipped if you want).

I did find the selection of cards a bit limited; it's hard to really go for any particular build, because you usually only have one or two copies of any given card. Combined with how the skill XP works, it ends up being pretty optimal to go for a jack-of-all-trades build. The card mechanics will feel familiar; nothing shockingly original, but also fine.

Very similar to Paradise Lust, but while both are nice I like this game a bit better. The story flows a bit more evenly and I think the design is more enjoyable. There is a lot of humor, a lot of heart, and a lot of very good adult content. The story is amusing, and the relationships - though pretty standard harem fare - are well written.
My criticisms are 1) that dialogs go on a bit too long. I feel like the writer was going for a natural conversation style like you might do IRL discussions, but in written form it's better to keep things brief and get to the point more quickly. I'm not saying two sentences and we're done, but some of these dialogs really rehash the same points. Brevity is the soul of wit. 2) Some of the minigames/puzzles are more tedious than fun. I like the wider variety of them, but there are so many it kind of slows the flow of the game unnecessarily. You can skip after getting to a certain amount completed, but it's not always obvious. I like the games, just maybe dial them back a bit.

I still haven't played through it all, but so far so good. The characters are likable, the humor is similar to the Paradise Lust games, the card battler is entertaining enough, and minigames are enjoyable. The biggest difference compared to the Paradise Lust series that I see is definitely the amount of dialog. If you don't like reading, try a different game. This one is full of worldbuilding and lore, with characters that have long backstories. For an AVN, it is a surprise. But personally, a welcomed one.
