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?!
