It basically feels like a second go around at Hotel Dusk, with tighter gameplay and less empty filler. I like the characters (even if a couple seem like retreads of those in the original game), I like how subtly the emotional beats are usually played and how the game doesn't revel in its melodrama, and I like how many little character touches there are here and there that add depth to everyone. It's flawed for sure but it's just a cosy world to be in, even with the subject matter. I'm sad Cing went under right after this, I haven't played anything else that has the same kind of vibe as these games (I like Ace Attorney a lot but in a different way, these scratch another itch). Also the 2D art was great (the 3D not so much, but it was the DS!). I wonder what the devs from these games are doing now. --- Slowly becoming a Final Fantasy aficionado.
