If you love visual novels, and are still sleeping on the Fault series, you're doing yourself a grave disservice. The presentation, narrative, and execution of Fault 2 is spectacular, to not mince words.

The biggest critique that can be offered of the series so far is that there can sometimes be an over-explanation of some points. Often times characters will rehash the same thing they just discussed, or have plodding conversations that don't advance the story. This can make the plot feel padded in places, and it slows to a bit of a crawl.

But the reason I have to point out any critique at all is because Fault 2 is able to craft such a stunning, impactful story that any lover of science-fantasy can not ignore. Refined from its prequel, Fault 2's narrative is every bit as intriguing from a worldbuilding view, while taking the liberties of its unique setting, and ramping up the drama and emotional intensity to 11. While several of the twists are especially entertaining, the climax and denouement in particular are extremely well executed, and is some expertly orchestrated writing. If you're not feeling choked up by the credits sequence, there's a special piece of art to greet you later that may change your mind.

Read Fault. You need good stories, and this is where you'll find one.
