Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator is a charming visual novel that takes an intentionally humorous premise and turns it into a surprisingly sincere story about romance, parenting, friendship, and adapting to a new stage of life.

Genuinely enjoyed 3/7 dad routes and liked the art style, although the humour and the mini-games can be a bit hit and miss.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Its seven romantic routes provide variety, its artwork gives every character personality, and its multiple endings create worthwhile replay value.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

The only thing that MIGHT be unintentionally funny is some of the voice acting (particularly the character of Robert), but I feel that might be a subtle jab at the "sexy" voice acting in bad, stereotypical dating sims.
