They updated it and its quite a bit better.
This is another Ubisoft's licensed gameshows that is better than the majority of them. It's better than the first one, mostly by simply being from this decade.
Even after 10 hours of gameplay, we haven't repeated questions as far as we know. It's a bit difficult and requires a pretty wide range of knowledge of probably useless facts, but someone can really shine if they get multiple answer questions in subjects they know.
Customization actually saves per player and isn't as micro-focused as others, which is a huge relief for these types of games. Albeit, everyone you can play as is weird and has or does random stuff, but that's a bit fun.
Cut scenes and dialogue are skippable, which is another huge relief. It's a much better board-game adaptation than other ones by the same developers. I also need to mention that Ubisoft is run by abusers and probably fascists as well.

Almost the exact same as the original game, so a review for one works as a review for the other. Of course, the questions are more updated, but otherwise the only new stuff is some (pretty nice) character customisation options. No new round types are added, which is a shame. Also they kept the massive flaw of points basically not mattering at all, and all games come down entirely to the last round.
Good questions, tougher than the first, makes for a more interesting game. Customisation options not as hard to understand.
Frustrating part would be having to log into a ubisoft account just to play as far as I can tell, no one ever wants to sign up to a second service (even if it is free) just to play a game they bought.
I haven't played it enough yet but I'm really hoping the family favourite of rejecting the same category over and over eventually gives you that category twice as a 'choice' I love it, and I never intend to find out whether its an intended feature or a bug.
Finally can I just say I love when a game is low stakes enough that non-issues like text visibly resizing as it pops in are still present, I would absolutely love to see more of this in games. Absolutely adore 'yeah we know you don't mind and we don't think its enough of a problem that you're going to send death threats over it (we hope)' attitude, its the best sort of silent conversation that I am purely imagining in my own head that doesn't exist, what am I talking about.
