The first game made me watch the entirety of the credits in silence (interrupted by sniffs of crying). This game made me feel things I've never felt or imagined feeling while playing a game. Which constitutes Part II as my second Akira moment in gaming since Uncharted 2 Among Thieves. Gee, Naughty Dog, you just don't let up, do you?
My GOAT videogame and a piece of art of any kind, for that matter.

The most annoyingly flat writing and similarly flat acting i've encountered in gaming. Only Lost Odyssey comes to mind, but that was aggressively cringe rather than flat.
The game itself is pretty much equally limp, riddled with obvious (and boring) movie (and gaming) call backs that border on plagiarism. Not an original bone in this cadaver of a game.

Josef Fares games have the most bland and uncharismatic writing put to games. That's why Brothers is his best game to date. No one speaks in it!
That aside, both this and A Way Out were mostly uninspired design wise and technically lacking in their mechanics. You'll do way better by playing similar Nintendo produced stuff.
