It's a serviceable sequel in gameplay only. Story wise this could be the cringiest thing I've ever played. And laziest. You have 6 characters, but Wayforward only wrote for 2 of them, so the other 4 have the same personality as the main 2 girls. The dialogue contradicts itself constantly because the other personalities are thrown right out the window. Legit, the 2 boss characters that join your team have complete personality overhauls once they become playable. A plotline even goes unresolved!

And how many times are we gonna have a punchline where the joke is "we are in a video game"? Y'all ain't Deadpool, knock that shit off.

Before I forget, the loading. God damn the loading. There's a loading screen for every room. Every. Single. Room. And that shit ain't short! I had the game crash on me too. It's honestly astounding why that's even the way it is. I legit made sure to play the game a year late because I wanted these problems ironed out, but I guess that's too much to ask for.

So while the gameplay has improved, the overall presentation takes a step back, making me love River City Girls 1 much more. If there's gonna be a River City Girls 3, please. Get writers who don't suck a fat one and are willing to write for more characters than just Kyoko and Misako.
