Some of its cases are a little too self-aware for their own good, and one or two ignore rules established by the series, but I lived for the overall story, which itself loves to toy with expectations of the audience that played the first game. While many sequels that say "Whoops, get ready for the same scenario as the first installment but with a fresh coat of paint!" fall flat on their face, I think this one very effectively justifies itself from both lore and thematic standpoints, and I found myself thinking about it for days after hitting credits. (I will not miss Improved Hangman's Gambit or Logic Dive.)
