Something To Write About: Unbroken: Book One

Simple review... *GOOD* The story overall is good, each character with unique backgrounds/experiences to learn and personalities. Good design. *BAD* You will experience multiple times the feeling of things getting "forever" to unfold or that the flow of the story is very slow. *Opinion* If you like to take your time, this game is for you. If you like games with a good story but that keeps the nsfw "action" around every corner, this game is not for you. There's not a great balance between those.

I do not want to give {spoilers} so quit reading now. But someone should warn people in big letters that this story is very good but dark!!! On the negative side every woman the M.C. meets falls for him way too quickly. He is a contender for the M.M.A championship so it is not as silly as most V.N.s where average guys have that happen to them, at least he is a celebrity. I have known people who killed people in war or the line of duty and handled it well and I have known some that were damaged by it in a big way. If you are in the latter group you may want to avoid this story.

I want to give this a 3 out of 5. I don't like the fantasy religious characters and references in the game. It is a major turn off to the story. I do like the characters in general. The choices you get to make are few and far between, so I guess this is more of a "read the story" type AVN , than the "you choose the path" type. I know English may not be the creators main language, but there are still some typos that should be easy fixes if they choose to update them later. Despite my dislikes, I love the stories and the interaction between the characters. It is one of the better written AVN's , story wise , on the market.

My 4th Favorite AVN (behind Summers gone, Where it all began and Chasing Sunsets). The Characters are all unique in there own ways and are surprisingly likable.(Especially Elspeth). The MC is likable and not a total idiot which is a huge bonus. Renders look amazing, all the characters look amazing. Its a surprisingly Lengthy game and i was all for it, i honestly couldn't get enough of this game.

Highly Recommended: Very good story, wonderful characters Pro: - Great graphics - Animations are good, but be careful they play out, and you can accidentally skip them - Characters are well fleshed out - Variety of love interests and choices - Real issues are depicted to make you feel closer to the MC Con - No moaning audio during animated intimacy, that makes the scenes a bit dry - Somehow the scenes all seem at the same pace, that kind of made it seem a bit bland Overall: It is a great story, one I took my time and went through, as I did enjoy it.

Definitely one of the better written western AVNs out there, a rare compliment in this genre. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if someone called it their favorite western AVN. The pacing is where it really shines. It's not rushed like many titles, but it also avoids the tedious "slow burn" trap. It keeps momentum without losing depth. The cast of heroines is another strength. Each feels distinct and ties into a different facet of the MC’s life, which makes their routes meaningful rather than interchangeable. When you don't really have a clear favorite heroine in a romance VN, you know it's good. Visually, the renders are strong and show a noticeable jump in quality from Episode 1 to the latest release (it's not THE best looking, but it's definitely in the higher tier). Animations also received a big upgrade, what started out a bit rough is now impressively smooth and adds to the "immersion" lol. On the gameplay side, the choice system is more dynamic than most western AVN...

Good story

A+

I heartily recommend this game. I've been a Patreon backer for about 18 months, and have played this game more than once to pursue different routes. Much like some of the more beloved AVN titles (Acting Lessons, Being a DIK, Leap of Faith) this game puts character and story first. It's a slow burn, but it's a great story.
