Surprised that nobody posted a 'Best of' list for 2021 unless I somehow missed it. Interested if anyone wants to share. I didn't play many games but of the ones that I did, NT:Ripper's newest title
Lovey Cuckoldry Play with an Understanding Wife was my personal favorite.
As one can surmise from the name, it's netorase and was reviewed by others upon its release. Features a happy couple, imaginative scenes, and very hot text. I liked the sprinkle of a few ordinary couple scenes, which is reminiscent of
Aisai Nikki except obviously on a much lower budget.
Despite some flaws - ex: at least 1 scene where the heroine has a 2nd mouth, lol - I've replayed it a few times and it's still a relatively unique experience in terms of 'happy couple' and execution. The artist's artwork isn't perfect but exponentially better than their 1st game (netorase), which has an
English translation and was banned on f95zone due to 1 shota scene.
Artist is on Ci-En and next work is an RPG involving a sports club -

If the translation is correct, there's going to be some incident involving the protagonist, his new girlfriend, and other men getting trapped in a room, leading to a transformative experience.
On a hiatus now, but I was playing some swinging games. They're old, and nobody probably cares for my opinion, but I might share some personal reviews at a later time...especially
Waffle's Koukan no Toriko-tachi..., which irritates me for managing to screw up what could have been a masterpiece due to IMO Yukari's character inconsistency in the NTR route shown by Tetsuya. If it wasn't for that, it'd be the rare game where netorase, netorare, and swinging endings are all executed amazingly well.
