To preface this review, this is by no means a bad game. I went into this game thinking it would be similar to Our Life: Beginnings & Always and was disappointed by the lack of character customisation (mainly that the MC is strictly female and has a aggressively flirtatious personality which made me uncomfortable, but that's a personal bias) and the overt focus on dating and cliques - which, to be fair, is kind of the whole brand of this story so these things don't take away from the game necessarily, I just didn't enjoy them. The characters themselves seem fun, with the writing being a bit hit-and-miss at times. I didn't actually finish the game so I can't speak to how characters develop, including the MC who I hope gets more likeable because I really didn't enjoy her at the start. It was cool to see characters like Shiloh and Jeremy who also featured in Our Life:B&A, and the brief exposure I had to Jeremy actually made me appreciate his character more because you don't see much of him in the previous game. The main thing that deterred me from progressing and finishing the game was the cliques/boyfriend-status aspect of gameplay. The enhanced interaction with the world itself was a cool concept which wasn't available in Our Life:B&A, but it felt that I was being given too much information as to how some of my choices were going to affect my relationships with other characters. Personally I like choice-based games for the fun of making choices that feel sincere to me and seeing how the world responds to them, so the strategy-esque relationship min-maxing style of gameplay just didn't sit right with me and I didn't want to continue knowing my choices would be so calculated. Again - not an outright criticism of the game itself! The style and interaction is done well, it's just not what I was looking for so I wanted to write this review to give some insight to others who may have similar preferences to myself.

The MC is so insufferable, it's very hard to put up with how unlikable they are. I knew that's how the game would kinda be but I thought I'd at least get a bit more freedom with who I could be.

The otome game where everyone is a jerk! Even the MC. It's not very romantic, i didn't really feel my heart beat at any of the scenes but it's definitely very funny. Buy it for the laughs not the romance (: Aaaand for the ones not aware there is a comedic yandere version out too! It's called XOXO Blood Droplets! PS: Jeremy best boy >.>
Insufferable characters with gimmicky mechanics. I won't finish the game
I really liked this game, but it's so quick to end and finish- even when you do all the romance options. I don't personally think the DLC is worth the price for what you get in terms of unlockable love interests since it's so short. However, the story line is addictive and it's got such pretty art styles and a separate personality to other games in this genre. Took me nearly 8 hours to complete the base game. I would also like to mention that Shiloh, one of the base game love interests, is ALSO in Our Love: Forever And Always as a best friend character. So it was so nice to see him as someone you can romance, as there was not a free version of Our Life that you could romance him. Such a sweetie honestly.
I started playing the game because of the characters i saw in OLBA and got curious to know more about them (also because after seeing Jeremy in step 3, i NEEDED to romance him), and honestly i wasn´t expecting much, but oh boy... This game is genuinely so good, and i really loved the characters more than i was expecting to, it was pretty funny, and i found the characters to be surprisingly well written (for example Shiloh´s manipulation, Bae´s obnoxiousness Lynn as a pretty good mentor), and i ended up getting pretty invested in it. It´s not a game for everyone, as the whole point is that the LIs (and the MC) are jerks, but i personally ended up enjoying it anyways, and even started to like the MC and the love interests more, since the characters have pretty enjoyable dynamics. The only thing that i didn´t liked very much was the gameplay, that after a while it can get boring and repetitive even with cheats, and i felt like there wasn´t enough content with the LIs or the group (don´t get me wrong, there are plenty of content, but for such a long game i ended up running out of stuff by my 3rd playthrough), but honestly that can be just me
So I did try the game, I didn't complete it, but that's... I guess mostly because I didn't fully look at the description. This is mainly focused on the free/demo version of the game because I don't have the complete/paid game/dlc. So because I downloaded the free/demo version and didn't take a good look at the description, I didn't realize that certain characters weren't romanceable unless you pay the $20 for the full extension of the game! Also, you can't really blame me for thinking that I could at least romance most of the characters, because why would you leave the ones who aren't romanceable in the demo/free version in the menu and not have a thing in the game to remind the player 'hey this person is only accessible through the full game' because I was looking at Pran's page and wondering why his affection points weren't going up, but others were. And maybe it did and I skimmed through it, it happens, absolutely willing to own up to my mistakes, but I feel like there could've at least been some sort of greyed out picture on some of the guys or something to be like 'not available in current version' when you do want to see how you're doing with them. Especially since when I was trying to hang out with Pran at the job place or at lunch, the thing on the screen would specify that I would be raising those affection points for that specific character, but it wasn't reflecting that at all when I looked at his screen. Some of the events where you'll spot a random student and you have the option to hang out with them or walk away absolutely threw me off because I would have to pull out the phone function and try and scroll through it to find out which clique this random student is apart of and there's not like... a search function to help with this. It just seems... tedious to go through each clique at a time to see if I can find that one name, back out and then repeat the process until I get some success. Now granted, this is also a game from 2017 and maybe the developers weren't aware of how to put the search function in a game like this at the time. I want to add that I do enjoy their other games like the Our Life series. But this game probably just isn't for me and I'm at least glad I tried out some of their other games like this one, but I don't think I could really recommend this one. Hope the devs have a good one and I'm glad that there are others who do enjoy this game!
This is the most boring dating sim I have ever played. The MC is mean and has a terrible personality. Most of the dateable characters are terrible as well. No matter what I do ,I do not seem to gain any popularity with the cliques even when choosing answers that are supposed to gain. Each day is the same and there are no real choices or character development.
XOXO Droplets is a funny and chaotic otome game that doesn’t take itself too seriously. It’s full of sarcasm, over-the-top characters, and humor that constantly pokes fun at typical romance tropes. The main character has a strong, sassy personality, which makes the interactions refreshing and often hilarious. The art style is bright and cute, matching the playful tone of the story. Each love interest is exaggerated in their own way, which fits the comedic vibe but can also make some routes feel more like parody than genuine romance. The writing is witty, though sometimes the humor overshadows emotional depth. On the downside, the repetition in daily activities can get tiring, and some players might find the constant sarcasm a bit too much after a while. Still, it’s a unique experience that offers something different from most sweet or serious otome games. If you enjoy humor, sass, and characters who refuse to play by the usual dating sim rules, XOXO Droplets is worth a try. Rating: 7.5/10
