Unreal Engine - Completed - Last Hope [v1.0196] [Poolside Games]

Game version: 1.0028

I started playing this game when it became available here on FN. It already had a sweet performance, nice looks and an understandable plot.

Now, at the level of completion, the Dev managed to smooth out almost every edge and annoying things about the game (you had to unlock both map and scheduler at earlier stages of the game, which was an unnecessary grind for me- not any more!)

Speaking of grind: Yes, there IS grind and there is a lot of it. BUT the progression is very fair, you unlock certain stages and with these come more opportunities at a constant rate. The already unlocked scenes can be repeated (because they are actually regular activities at defined places on the ship), so no "save-and-load" here.

All in all I really enjoy(ed) playing this game and recommend it to everyone who likes booba, Unreal engine and a bit of free roaming.

+ Good Renders

= Decent Animations
= Simple plot but its fine for smut

- Bland characters, which really limits it's value
- Grindy, for the sake of being grindy
- Tedious/janky controls ( a t oggle for always starting with free camera on would be very appreciated )
- Janky visuals at times when switching to different animations
- Terrible cum animations/scenes

Review for v1.0

A lot of what makes this game good is the fact that it's a fully complete Unreal Engine lewd game. That's like finding a unicorn. I remember first playing this years ago and it blew my mind a bit that there was a porn game like this after playing so many visual novels. Years later, there is still no other lewd game quite like this one.

Let me be incredibly clear, the writing/dialogue is dog water. It's your incredibly basic porn dialogue where every sex scene is just "wow your dick is so huge and good!!!" The love interests have zero personality beyond an incredibly cliché familial character trope, and the game quickly devolves into a fuckfest. The writing is not why this game is fun.

What does make it fun is that I'm playing a first person porn game where I can walk around a ship in real time and interreact with the fami- err, crew. There's a daily schedule where the love interests also move around the ship in real time doing various activities at various times. These activities provide your basic context for the sex scenes essentially. Sister in the gym, mom cooking dinner, aunt in the bath, you get the idea.

It's pretty novel, and I think that's why I enjoy it so much. There's a lot of sex scenes, they're animated well enough, and the game looks decent enough graphically given when development first started. The gameplay loop is basic but was enough to keep me engaged long enough to play through this. But again after a certain point you're just traveling from room to room to play a new sex scene.

I would have liked to see more threesomes/foursomes, but there was also some unique-er scenes in the form of the alien ship that I didn't expect and was glad to have. The outfit system was a nice touch too, but feels a bit barebones when you realize there's only one alternative outfit for each category (and like half the outfits you can buy just aren't very appealing). I do wish the aliens were more present than a couple sex scenes but whatever.

I do think it's a shame that the writing didn't have more going into it. The characters having more personality than a sex doll and lewd scenes being more than "I'm horny lets fuck" would have made me enjoy this game a lot more, but I digress.

In a world where most unreal games are more than a never ending tech demo, this would probably rank low on the list truth be told. But that simply isn't the case. This is fun as something that feels like a real shake up from the norm in terms of gameplay. It should also be recognized that this game is complete, something I'm sure almost everyone knows is a rarity. Kudos on that.

Last hope is a frustratingly mediocre game that is barely held up by its immersive first person environment.

Full Game: If nothing else, this game is completed. That's a huge achievement in my book, and I respect anyone who actually finishes their game. It's sadly quite rare to see this nowadays.

Controls: 3D game with first person controls is a huge plus. Even without good writing, you can still get somewhat immersed in the game. From a technical standpoint, this game is very well done and could serve as a framework for a much better game.

Animation: Everything is animated, which is a huge plus, but not everything is animated well. Most sex scenes are good enough, but for some reason the best animation was in the dream sequences which feature random unrelated characters and scenarios. I would rather that effort have been put into the actual game.

The girls' walk cycle in particular is very bad for something that you see all the time. The facial animation is usually passable and sometimes even very good. Some of the animations don't work in first person though, which is a big issue for a game where that's one of its selling points.

Writing: The weakest part about this game. The barebones story is delivered in chunks every time you fill the progress meter by 10%, but most of the plot is kept secret from the three heroines who remain static characters until they very end. Most of the game is just three chicks lounging in spaceship purgatory with no reaction to the plot. This game is not even close to the sci fi thriller that the dev seems to think it is.

Characters: Far from advertised. They are introduced as spacer types, captain/pilot/whatever, but quickly devolve into generic stereotypes. Tsundere sister, loving but hesitant mom, horny aunt. Yawn. They don't even wear the space suits during the game, just normal clothes. You could plop this family into a setting where they're stuck in a house during a covid lockdown and 90% of the dialogue wouldn't have to change.

Visually, the heroines are pretty stale. Teen with balloon tits, two older women with balloon tits, Lots of clipping issues with clothing and quite possibly the worst possible "style" for the daughter's wet hair model.

Gameplay: Fake sandbox with nothing to do but walk from one sex scene to the next sex scene. Everything is running in real time, which is cool at first, but quickly becomes a chore to try and trigger the right scene in the right place at the right time. The dev included a color coded, automatically updating schedule to help you track down scenes which helps a lot but is ultimately a bandaid solution to a problem that the dev created in the first place.

In a class of its own. Truly amazing and peerless. The only 1st-person (with free-cam access during H-scenes) harem/family-style game that will have you busting quick-like. Huge cock, huge breasts, and a distinctive premise without being overly complicated. There is some light grinding, but it comes in the form of a decently executed 3D "Asteroids" clone. Only con is it's kind of a pain to play 1-handed, but the pros outweigh this handily.

+ It is unreal engine game that is actually playable.
+ Navigating across the ship is easy
+ Events trigger/Events journal is alright
+ There is plenty of content

- Model are subpar at best, unnatural huge tits, from 80s comics. Fatty and low quality/variety clothing.
- Ending is rushed.
- The biggest downside, is the partition of events in 4-5-6-7 parts. You have to replay same events a dozen of times before moving forward. Eventually it just gets boring and makes you want to uninstall. It is only made to drag out player time and only ruins the experience.

It would not be a problem if events were changing but they are not, you have to click 5-6 times wait for long animations of already 10+ times watched content and then you might trigger new consequences afterwards. Pointless repetition and waste of time.

Sure the game has a couple flaws like how you absolutely can't play one-handed (at least not without a bunch of mouse buttons), can be a bit unclear on how to see all scenes (not to mention all of the repeats required), and can be limiting in the choices you can make... but everything else that is here is great. There's a couple other gripes I have like how the ship mini-game is super dark and how long/slow some scenes are (Dream 4, while sexy, I had to rewatch and with no 'Skip' option you can tell the creator put effort into the 'seductive poses')

Mostly only docking a star for those issues because everything else here is great if you're looking for a "trapped on a ship and need to produce semen to live", also I wish there was an easier way to see the preg content/epilogue without redoing the whole 'final showdown' scene as if you enable the preg stuff in the epilogue first you don't see any scenes the characters just become pregnant and you don't see an active impregnation scene.

Finished 3D game with decent story and gameplay. 10/10

The only downside is graphic, but you actually getting use to it. Girls are interesting since, you have to figure it out how to build relations.

Definitely worth trying. Rating is justified.

Fluid gameplay and animaion, intelligently provide information about if we already did an event, if there s more content etc with a color scheme, story is simple but does the job, character are pretty
if i had to change something it would have been more difference in breast size, they basically are all just the same body type

Rare for me to rate as "Excellent" but the dev actually completed the game and it is very enjoyable. 100% worth it. Even managed to crack in a few jokes aside from the smut of course, which is fun to find thanks to a useful "hint system"

I don't usually review games, but for this one, I had too. While its lacking some polish and I would have liked a little bit more diversity for the girls body type, the concept of the game is great and well executed.

It's way more engaging than your average VN and the pacing is really nice. Cant wai to see what this dev does next!

Great game and senbsibly completed, fun characters, good progression and better iterations and tweaks throughout the patches to improve - heres to the next, hopefully with the newer advances in unreal engine the dev will continue this legacy or start something fresh and take everything they have learned and apply it for everyone to enjoy once again.

It feels like i have been following this one for years. I forgot it was even a thing. anyway, I am glad to say the final product deserves 5 stars and I am not the only one to think so. Congradulations to Poolside Games for delivering this. It has good graphics, good story (good for what it is aiming at; it is no baldur's gate but it's also not just ctrl skip to sex scenes)and good very low-grind gameplay.
My only negative point is that you cannot have the girls roam around in the uniform from the banner but it is not worth removing a star.

Game is finally complete! Going to keep this short and sweet: it's undeniably one of the best games on the entire website, it's a must play if you're into the... landlady genre - even has pregnancy which just makes it that much better.

Maybe the best incest game.

To be a perfect game, they need mods and a huge comunity.

Graphique : good
Voice : nice but repetitive
Character : Gorgeous, but need change body (only huge boobs)
Bonus : Pregnancy !!!

The quality of the graphics created in Unreal Engine is impressive and truly immerses the player in a world full of possibilities. Good Job.
I loved the girls and settings, which added layers of depth to the experience.

One of the best UE games on this website. I'm just having fun walking around the ship and interacting with the girls. There's just a little problem with the progression, it's not as linear as it should be. Sometimes you feel like you've missed a step in the progression of the relationship with the girl.
Still top tier.

Until now, the best game in its genre. Ofc it could have more polish here and there, but the story is very good, the mechanics are well thought, and it provides a good play experience. Looking forward for future updates, the Steam release, and further work by the author.

The most functional actually complete UE game on this site which is not just a scene viewer sandbox, honestly just for that fact alone this is a 5, the scenes are great, there are some minor clipping issues sometimes but it's not a big deal, more scenes and events in epilogue would be great otherwise basically perfect.

Great game, I love the graphics, the plot, models, but mostly the freedom to move around and interact with the characters.
It runs smoothly on my PC with great framerates.
The only thing I would like to improve is the brightness, it's a bit too dark for me.
