None of the poll options quite capture my feelings. I actually wrote up a big ol' review that's still sitting around - didn't post it anywhere, kinda just wrote it as a brain dump. Basically I have very mixed feelings but I really like it as a game.

The story doesn't feel very well thought-out and IMO completely fails at delivering the messages it's trying very ham-fistedly to deliver. The visuals and animations are fucking gorgeous but like, the game's development was powered by crunch, tears and shattered dreams so I guess they damn well better be, lol. Gameplay is an absolute blast, which IMO partially contributes to the game failing to deliver its messages, but failings as a work of art aside it's still a very fun game.

(To clarify, I don't hate the story, either - it's a good enough ride. It's just that they were very obviously trying to be profound with the themes here and fuck up due to apparently not really considering how gameplay and their story are intersecting and even contradicting one another. Basically it's just a disappointment that this game's biggest weakness is somehow the one element that was its predecessor's claim to fame.)
