I really tried with this one, but I just couldn't get into it, man. I didn't like the first game either, but that's coz I tried playing that on the DS way back and I hated the gameplay. This game has better gameplay, but it's very repetitive and grindy, and by forcing you to switch out your attacks to level up new Pins constantly, it makes the battle system just a chore to go through and a grind from the very beginning.
I liked the aesthetic of the game, but it ultimately combines tropes from anime that I dislike, especially in its main story - which is a "death game". I put an honest 8 hours or so into this game and I just couldn't bring myself to continue on any longer.
Ultimately, I'm gonna chalk this up to this one just wasn't for me, bros. For the same reasons I don't like Persona 4 Golden as well - due to the high levels of unbearable anime tropes and the grindiness of the gameplay.
