Another season/similar game please Netflix!
Sun Jan 29 2023 LilacveinsI have played all the romance style roleplay games. Chapters, Choices, Love Island, you name it I’ve tried it. Many of these aforementioned games force you to spend a fortune for a full ride and an actual enjoyable experience, so I was thrilled that something like this was fully unlocked for free by Netflix sponsoring it.
Onto the game itself: the art style, the customization options, and the writing/the journey the characters take to evolve is thorough and engaging (I have a soft spot for Theo especially, and I have a theory he is loosely based on Nick from the latest season). The gameplay is really smooth and dopamine-inducing because it doesn’t force you to spend money every 2 seconds. This encouraged me to watch the show on Netflix after I finished the game, so Netflix is definitely doing something right with this sponsorship model. I just hope they continue it and put out other similar show-game equivalents like this one in the rotation moving forward, because most of the other games in the Netflix catalog don’t currently appeal to me and I’m sure I’m not alone. Keep it up Netflix, this was a pleasant and wonderful surprise! I’m definitely excited for more to come. This is a goldmine that can put other similar games to shame.
Addictive, Fun, and Detailed!
Wed Dec 28 2022 :)hannavasOne of the very few story mobile games that’s very addicting and has AMAZING detail + sound effects. Not at all money hungry like many other apps and lets you have range of anything you like while playing (hopefully that doesn’t change, but if it does it’s not too pricey.) I’ve never seen a more detailed story game that not only lets you change your outfits/ hair but the other contestants as well so that’s fun! The accuracy from the show on Netflix to the game is phenomenal (from Lana to the different personalities is great!) I downloaded this yesterday and played all the available chapters the same day and have to wait for the next one lol. Literally the only “problem” I have is that i wish the other contestants would also have crushes/ lust for each other and not just pining after MC so it’s more realistic in a way. Other than that this is 10/10… or a 5 star review for me haha! Hopefully there would be a way to make a S2 for this game! Thanks for the hard work and amazing gameplay!
More options when replaying the season, variety, and diversity
Mon Aug 12 2024 Elijahx.exHonestly this game is great and I wish there was more games that Netflix created like this but I also wish that when you replayed the season it would be different each time. I feel like I always know what to expect and it isn’t as fun as the first time playing the game and since THTH encourages you to unlock more endings I think different settings and people and relationships and enemies would really elevate the game. Also I feel like there’s little to no drama besides Candace and other enemies like Justin but other than that it seems like all the contestants want me so they aren’t coupling up with each other and therefore making the game more boring. Also when you replay the season and you end up matching with someone else they say the exact same lines just in different context that your first match also said to you, which annoyed me quite a bit since I prefer diversity. Overall I believe that Netflix created and extremely good game but i believe that this review could help elevate the gameplay even more and attract more positive reviews and eager players that are a fan of THTH like me. Please see this Netflix, it would make this game so much more fun and enjoyable to me and I bet to a lot of other people who like variety.
LOVE LOVE LOVE.
Mon Dec 19 2022 Makaylagaines_I never knew that Netflix did mobile games so when I searched up Too Hot To Handle on netflix and saw it, I immediately started playing. I AM OBSESSED. The story lines are crazy good and Theo 😏😏😏…. It’s almost like reading a good book but with animations. I love that you don’t have to use gems like those other games because we get to choose who we want to be with without making the dumbest decision just because we don’t have gems or diamonds. The only thing I would want changed is that others would show interest in each other. Like they all like my character and I want drama…so maybe someone goes for Theo or whoever someone chooses as their first choice while they play! There better be more than 1 season to this because I AM ON IT. I would 100% buy netflix over and over again just to play. I’ve already recommended this game to 10 different people who have watched and loved Too Hot To Handle. WONDROUS JOB you beautiful people!! Tell whoever made this game they’ve completed my life 😌😌
Absolutely Love This Game
Sun Feb 19 2023 Lilmylo123This game is by far the best out of all the choices games I’ve played (Love Island, Episode, etc.). For this review though, I’m gonna specifically compare to Love Island.
The Story: The writing is so smooth in comparison to Love Island. It’s not immature and “out-of-touch” the way that the newest seasons of Love Island have been. It’s also nice that you’re the main love interest and have plenty of options to choose from. However, I do wish there was a little more drama (although I was pretty modest with my choices which could have effected this), and I wish there were more relationships forming amongst the rest of the group other than myself and Jada. I think there should also be more people coming in and getting kicked out. Also, I think it’s a bit weird that you can’t specify your sexual preferences and are being pursued by both genders.
The choices: Absolutely LOVE that you have free-range to choose whatever you want. Even the “special scenes” are completely free. It truly makes you feel that you’re in control of your character. Additionally, your choices DO matter, unlike in the newest Love Islands. I’ve only played through once, but I’m hopeful that different choices will lead to a much different story. I also enjoyed having control over my characters outfits (for free), including the hair and jewelry, and not getting berated for what I’m wearing.
Overall, the game is amazing.
This is amazing but i have a few recommendations
Mon Jun 05 2023 Pauliño Perezlove the diversity in hair, bodies, and im glad there was a male option. but the game kinda assumes that the mc is pansexual or whatever, and id rather have a sexuality option, and those im not interested in could just have the friend status. speaking of being friends, i was dissapointed when jada justin candace and carter werent romantic interests 😔speaking of justin, i thought his villain arc was weird. he didnt rlly seem like a red flag but he just became one later. also my original love interest just kinda disappeared near the end, and i was sad 😔 i tried playing bonus scenes to get the status higher which also didnt work, and the game is so long i dont wanna restart. im rlly excited for a season 2 if there will be one, and all i ask is sexuality, all characters being love interests, and bonus scenes effec relationships. okay yall are amazing and this game is very good and well made. 🌞 have a great day
let me just say…
Sat Aug 12 2023 octoberglitteringI. AM. OB. SESSED.
i love everything about this game. i just discovered it and, while i don’t watch the show on netflix, i’m a huge fan of interactive games like this. i play choices, love island: the game, and occasionally tabou.
what i love so much about this game:
— there are no keys to read, which means no endless waiting 2-3 hours for them to refill.
— there are no gems, which means you have access to all options, outfits, hairstyles, etc. nothing is off limits!
— instead of gems, there are stars. there is nothing required to earn these stars, but reading. you earn stars as you read, and you use these stars to unlock bonus scenes with every other islander.
what i think developers could improve:
— make other islanders customizable - at least a few - not just the main character. i’d like the ability to customize a few love interests, and maybe a best friend.
— not critical, but there are a few typos here & there. otherwise, the writing & plot are close to perfection.
— i really feel bad for complaining, but it’d be nice to have more clothing options: daywear, swimwear, and nightwear. but again, NO BIGGIE, as i literally played this until 4am the morning after i discovered it.
wait, one more thing. i hated how i couldn’t romance justin in thth1!!! i feel like i’m the only one bc everyone hates his guts, but i was attracted to him most from the start! 😭 i fall so hard for bad boy characters EVERY TIME.
god i love this game. let me get back to it.
Awesome Interactive Story
Fri Dec 30 2022 AjayshiaI just started playing this game yesterday, and I already finish the different chapters and can’t wait for the next one. It’s very entertaining, detail and keep you on your toes. Plus unlike other interactive stories, you don’t have to buy options that would normally be classified as “premium choices”, which always your character to build a closer bond with the person you want to pair up with. Which is amazing, and it makes sense since you’re already playing for a membership with Netflix. Only downside is, just like other comments, I wish all the other islanders weren’t all crushing on the MC. It can be overwhelming sometimes. I wish they were able to crush on other people too and build relationships and not just be too keen on the MC, even other you made your choice about who you want. Fingers crossed for a season two!
BEST GAME ON APP STORE
Wed Nov 22 2023 Raquel Jones the 3rdI have downloaded countless apps regarding story interactive games. Choices, Spirits, Whipsers, the tinder like games (it’s a match!), I’ve done it all. But I can say for this to free to exclusively Netflix users, it’s hands down the best interactive story. The story I would presume is just like the tv show. (I’ve never watched it but I get the gist of it) 10/10 experience. You get free choices, so many variations of skin tones, tattoos, accessories, piercings, hairstyles, body type, clothing, choices & etc! You can even replay episodes/or recap the whole season from start to finish, with multiple final story endings depending on who you get closest too throughout the season. You will not be disappointed. I did try to do the too hot to handle second season 2 but it became dull pretty fast. I might try it again with trying different choices.
Aww… This was a cute game🥰
Sun Jan 19 2025 hey32145I chose Theo as my love interest—obviously, he’s the hottest one! One of my least favorite characters was Sarah because she’s extremely vain and full of herself. There were also two other dislikable people, definitely the villains of the villa.
The story was well-written, and most of the characters were fun to interact with. I liked having Jada as a friend; she was kind and supported my main character’s decisions.
I liked seeing the choices other players made with the polls at the end of each chapter.
There were so many pretty options for hairstyles and outfits! Great variety of styles.
The music was catchy and I really appreciated that the tone of the songs would shift depending on the mood of each scene.
The art-style of the faces were a little “uncanny valley” territory, especially when they smiled. A little bit creepy but not entirely off-putting.
One star off because of the very obvious woke/DEI agenda. I was jump-scared by the non-binary twink’s thong, package on full display, every time he made an appearance on my screen (and the they/them pronouns were annoying). Other than that, it was very obvious that black and brown characters made up the majority of the cast. Hot take: Diversity doesn’t have to mean eliminating whiteness. It felt a bit forced, even as a liberal.
But overall, really enjoyed this game! Very fun to play.
