It's definitely heartbreaking when a sequel is highly overshadowed by its predecessor. It's weird because Not Tonight (and Papers, Please by extension) are some of my favorite games due to the freshness and originality of their gameplay/premise - so it's kinda weird to see that this entry went for an attempt to sterilize that unique formula. They looked for a way to make the game more popular and I get that, but in that attempt I fear that much of the soul was lost. That and the annoying undertone of environmental consciousness kinda ruined it for me.

Not Tonight 2 unfortunately pales in comparison to the previous title. I didn't really care for the mini games that replaced the multiple forms of documentation -- it felt a bit too gimmicky for my liking.

Challenge Mode isn't available like in the original title so if you want to continue playing after the story is complete, your only option is to restart the story.

On the upshot, the music is still pretty good.
