Quite the ride to get here! Compared to the original game, the Somniums are much more intuitive than the first game, which was more trial and error than anything. I have seen a lot of people dislike the story line though, but I found it to be just as fulfilling as the original game. Also, while it doesn't completely eliminate the stupid jokes with Date, removing him as the main character and having Ryuki and Mizuki as the leads thankfully reduce it a good deal. With the improved Somniums, this game probably reaches into my top 25, so not the best of the Uchikoshi titles, but it's definitely up there.

The platinum requires finding all of the hidden eyeballs in the Somniums - instead of one per Somnium there's now FIVE, and they frequently disappear or become inaccessible after making certain choices. I remember looking at one through an entire cutscene in a Somnium that I couldn't grab because there was no exploration after that point. Gone are the trophies to do QTE scenes perfectly and they are replaced with doing VR deduction scenes perfectly, which is a good change. Though one thing I didn't like is how a good deal of the Trivia entries are locked if you say you have played the original game - and if you do say this, there's a very slim margin of error in getting the one trophy related to it. I did manage it, but I even missed one trivia entry at some point. Finally, the 999 easter egg at the very end of the game is well done, and I hope it leads to something in the future from that series.
