Smaller review that I'd be capable of, but it'll suffice. There's not a whole lot to talk about without delving into spoiler territory, anyways. Played the series over the summer of 2018 and I can't believe "it's only been 6 years".

In the business world, we call this "strike whilst the proverbial iron is hot". Can peak go much higher? You know, there's a tendency with me that I'll often have the 2nd entry of any trilogy as my favorite. Maybe because it's the one who perfects a formula before it starts to be too tried and true? In any case, we've got a hell of an entry here. But it's more of a paradise, one quiet, unsettling paradise, nothing short of a vibe. These silly goobers have the best chemistry yet, and the trials are all as good as the next. Not a single miss, people. Even the designs are great! Even their panties look good! Huh-

So, this is where the minigames really get quirky. Deadass I believed Hajime going "fuck it we skate" was a hint to this real talent, when in fact, he was ballin. Admittedly, the "helper" student this time around isn't as interesting as the one in DR1, but she's my mid so let ha cook 🔥🔥💯 I guess Gundham is also more of "style over substance", but thats a lot more understandable than Celeste, tldr he's my fav here with close second being Mahiru, best girl of the series. Let me prove my worth, I'm the one trust. Akane is the closest to a bad character, but while I don't fw the writing it's quite bold and I respect the attempt. Their claim that Fuyuhiko is the Ultimate Yakuza is frankly, foolish, has Hope's Peak not heard of the Dragon of Dojima?? (he's not a highschooler)

This game's writing hits like a truck on 20 different occasions. It's more than a true sequel to DR1, it feels as removed from it as V3 is despite Hope's Peak Academy link in DR2, to what extent, I will not say. This is about as much as I allow myself to say without hinting too much at what surprises you'll find here, this entry is rightfully the fan favorite of the series. Don't forget to house the strawberry and respect women on your main account. Have a good day!
