Uchikoshi kinda lost me a little bit with this sequel... Where this game shines over its predecessor is in its interactive elements like the Somniums, which feel more concise in its execution but creative in their ideas.
What frustrated me was the inherent paradox of the game's narrative structure. Even though it takes a more linear approach to the storytelling by resisting the temptation to explore multiple pathways, Nirvana Initiative feels trapped in its own game of misdirections and loses the plot.
Otherwise, the writing still maintains the blunt charm of the original that kept me playing and it ran surprisingly okay on Switch?!

What an incredible experience. One of the few games that requires you to engage actively with its complex story to piece it together, and it does a phenomenal job drip-feeding information amongst all of its character stories. When the narrative becomes overwhelming, the tower-defense sections provide much needed relief. A true storytelling achievement whose existence is mesmerizing
It's broken. That's it. Not even playable. Took me 15 minutes to get through menus. Yikes.
