GOOD. Very good. Impressed that they were able to do it again. Very similar to the first yet very different. Ending dragged a bit, but the characters ended up growing on me and a couple of the later trials are some of the best so far. Consistently surprised me. Very excited to play ultra despair girls and watch the anime so that I can get to v3.
Great sequel! The dialogue is much cringier than the 1st but it locks-in just about halfway through. The mini-games in this one are MUCH worse. They take much longer to complete than the original ones, meaning you're taken away from the story for that much longer. Also, not a big fan of the 2D map, though I understand it was due to hardware limitations. Despite all that it takes such a great step towards the larger story, and some of the character arcs are so potent, that I'd say this entry is just as good as the first.
