GOOD LUCK BABY!

I'm still making my way through it, so I can't leave a particularly detailed review, but it's proven to be a very charming VN so far. It's fast-paced and doesn't drag, the characters have a lot of personality, and though the art assets are sparing, the art that is there is top notch. Aesthetically, it's all cohesive and appealing (apart from the photographic images of the dog, which is the point lol. It's a silly gag which made me laugh whenever I saw it). I've been enjoying it a lot so far, and I'd encourage other people to check it out if you're looking for some zany yuri comedy hijinks!

Well, Noodletub did it again!! Another amazing lesbian Visual Novel that made me laugh, and cry, and fall in love with another story and set of characters. I loved it all so much! I loved the references to older games (and side-content novels), I loved the old characters and I loved the new ones. I was so excited for it, and it did not disappoint! This game and the expansion of this amazing universe was insane (in the best way possible) and I just can't wait for the next Noodletub game!

花了一半時間查單字終於玩完了，總結來說喜歡百合的必玩。至少有5對cp，每個角色都也鮮明的個性與魅力，包括反派也是(第三章補足)。光是第一章玩完就覺得物超所值，更何況還有第二、第三章和extra。 第一章是撿到神寶寶的兩位主角Hifumi和Kasumi用愛與運氣的力量拯救世界的故事。故事整體篇老套(光與暗的對立、英雄轉世、靈魂伴侶)但細節豐富且感人，看兩位命中注定會在一起的主角相遇、彼此在意、互相理解、互相救贖，並保護寶寶Oda，幫助她擊敗反派Metis，守護了人性，只能說整個故事太美妙了。 主角團其她人也都很有趣，尤其是傲嬌嘴賤Saki，到後期超會鼓舞人心的，EIC三人組則是存在本身就讓整個遊戲變得更有趣味，專屬BGM也很妙，Kuro不僅很會照顧人更是這趟旅程的mvp，沒有她主角群大概就完了，總之全員都是不可或缺的存在[spoiler] 包括被惡魔替換的兩位[/spoiler]。她們一路上幫助兩位主角，聯手對抗Metis和她的部下，你會覺得這真是最棒的團隊，而且主角群大多都是在社會上被孤立的人，這次旅程也算是讓她們彼此了解並找到歸屬。 第二章則是主角群中的兩位:Hoshino和Usagi從一百年前開始發生的事，讓後期才登場兩位補足了戲份，她們的遭遇也真的很有主角感。在第一章沒解釋的伏筆也會在這章解釋，[spoiler] 畢竟真的很在意Fuyuko和Kuro的前世[/spoiler] 第三章是反派Metis獲勝的路線，也就是主角團的bad end，全人類的bad end。反派們的個性在這一章被補足，大多內容都是在說Metis的過去，非常血腥殘暴(還好沒有畫面)，氣氛跟前兩章比差很多，不過製作組建議這章也一定要玩過，畢竟能了解到反派的一切。確實玩完了這章我們能知道，那位執著於打敗Oda並毀滅人性以及向兩女主復仇的Empress Metis，她...她就是個妥妥的瘋子啊，一路黑到底，完全沒得洗。劇透[spoiler] 分歧點是在Hifumi和Oda剛被抓走時，Kasumi竟然醒來了並單獨去和反派們對峙，這時就觸發了badend路線。但說句令人意外的，Metis沒有殘忍殺害兩位主角，因為怕她們又轉世所以把她們塞進冷凍睡眠裝置，至於其她主角團員則被說不構成威脅就沒再多提[/spoiler] Extra內容有些是後日談的閒話家常，像是Hifumi拉人入坑Sandwich Queen(為什麼大家都不喜歡這家店XD)、Fuyuko向Yumi求婚、Kuro試圖讓她女友Lisa相信自己在這一星期間發生的種種怪事(話說終於有除了女主以外的人喜歡Sandwich Queen)，大多都是有趣甜蜜的內容;但也有幾篇是補上中間發生的事，例如Metis和寶寶Oda鬥嘴XD、[spoiler] 還有補上Ibuki和Ume被惡魔複製身體並被關進冷凍睡眠裝置時的感受[/spoiler] 總之這真的是一個非常棒的遊戲，還有動物都用三次元寫實圖片也算是個笑點吧

nothing but respect for MY game of the year

[b]TD; DR Review[/b] – If Yuri visual novels is your thing, this one should definitely part of your library. Among its qualities, the most notable is the cheekiness and smartness of its writing, providing the player with an engaging and thoughtful story. Well, actually, “three” of them. I’m surprised the game doesn’t make more waves, it definitely deserves some attention. [b]Graphics/Sound[/b] ★★★★★★★★☆☆ Graphics aren’t the easiest to rate because they’re often bound to the time/budget the authors and/or the (commissioned?) artists had on a given piece, and well, I don’t work in this field. Overall, I enjoyed Good Luck Baby visually. It’s pretty obvious it had little resources with makeshift techniques akin to what SeaBed used (real pics, blurred real pics, etc). Does it make it less good? Actually, not that much. First because all characters are well drawn and have a decent share of facial expressions :KasumiSmug:, second because authors managed to turn some of these limits into a strength (often when pets are concerned), third because some of the setup and visual effects are really, really convincing and well done (often implies monitors, or light effects added). Much of the same with sound. Musics does the job, and I happened to be particularly fond of the musics of 1902. [b]Story[/b] ★★★★★★★★★☆ Good Luck Baby give us the pleasure to enjoy 3 stories (the main, 2002 summer, being noticeably longer than the two others, 2002 winter and 1902), which will take you about 15-20h to go through all of them. All of them take place in the same universe, two being, I suppose, canon, and third is some kind of alternative. What’s interesting about them, and probably the main success of this visual novel, is how different they feel in the writing style. The writer(s) really did one hell of a job to manage to include a very romantic story, a rather action-packed and cheeky main story and a … pretty brutal alternative. All of this give the impression to play 3 different games although they are connected. Really impressive. Another great success is the ability of Good Luck Baby at throwing you off constantly with a rather clever set of absurd situations, putting you into “Wat?” mode, without actually sounding ridiculous. The only point which might not be of the taste of everyone is that, beside the brutal story, the main plot is written in a rather Manichean (well given the subject, it was hard not to) and idealistic style, which might not please everyone. But for someone as stupidly naive as I am, it was a great pleasure. [b]Characters[/b] ★★★★★★★★★★ If I was asked who was my favourite, it would be hard to tell, even for the meanies. All of them are lovely (well, the M in her own way). For the two main characters, I appreciated their different way to think when you swap perspectives, it is really convincing. I can’t say much more without spoiling. What, I really have to pick a favorite? Erh… Usagi. Gurl stronk, gurl cute, gurl badass. Waifu-grade seal of approval. [b]Route system[/b] ★? No real route system, it’s virtually a Kinetic visual novel... but one with three road! [b]Notable extras points[/b]: - GLB is (probably) packed with references, not sure, I usually miss them easily, recognized a decent bunch. If you’re a nerd/gamer you’re at home. - A cool set of extra scenes - The Back to Extras button is… a good tribute to 2002. Oof. PS: Why having Sandwich Queen when you can have 6 Girls, Hifumi!?

It's a fun, comedic and very adorable yuri visual novel, what more can you ask for?

10/10 would babysit again.
