Princess Maker 5

It really pains me to give this game a negative review because genuinely, this could've been an absolutely wonderful Princess Maker title. It just looks so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ good, especially the daughter! Oh my god it's insane. This is also like the only Princess Maker[b][u][1][/u][/b] title to take place in the modern day instead of in a magical fantasy medieval world for the infinith time. Even the systems are more complex this time around and is more story/dialogue-rich, so you couldn't play this game like a "number cruncher with anime pics and dialogue" after a while like with the previous Princess Makers[b][u][2][/u][/b]. Which I think is good, because I'd like to actually spend more time with my digital daughter and actually see her whole life through till she becomes an adult and the game ends. Instead of just looking at the wiki and puppeteering everything to get a specific ending at a hyper-fast-paced speed[b][u][3][/u][/b]. But, alas. The companies behind it didn't even bother to hire actual localizers. Out of touch much? Instead they tossed it into a machine translator, making it feel awkward as hell playing the game because the translated dialogue is so awkward and broken to …

Sigh, I just found out there's fan made version with better translation out there. I will still support the developer, but man.... Do a better job than the fans.

I love the Princess Makers games but this one is so immersive that I really feel like I'm raising a real little girl. the 50+ endings make it so interesting, I'm playing for the third time and I was able to get my husband to play. It's so much fun and detailed and I love the hidden stats aspect. Would rec to anyone looking to play an immersive sim game.

gahdamn this game is so long.

i really really love this game but its completely butchered by the steam translation which sucks :( i managed to get the fan translation working with my steam game which is nice and im open 2 share it i just dont think i can do it on steam so feel free 2 shoot me a msg abt it and ill send you the files bc this game is more than worth the time it takes to get through!! (ive got examples of the translation on my profile if ur interested!! idk if like anyone else has made this before i just noticed a few comments on steam about how the unofficial translation DOESN'T work on steam when thats not technically true) (this method disables achievements but you can just find other means of getting them if you were really bothered)

i dont finish this game yet, but pretty neat for now
