Compared to the prior game, which whilst charming has it's flaws, SDRA2 is one of those fangames that you could actually recommend to someone who just enjoys the series at a passing level, rather than being knee-deep into it. It does the fun thing of understanding what it is, and playing with your expectations at every turn, whilst still being in a way that's satisfying and doesn't blindside you out of nowhere. Case quality is honestly some of the better in the series. Although I would recommend at least reading the plot summary of the first game before jumping into this one, because the first game's plot factors into this one in some fun ways. Rated higher specifically due to how impressive of a fan-game this is.

A weird game, that I probably enjoyed more than I should have, but has some good qualities non-the-less. I really like most of the cases, even if they have a bit of a problem of being a little too close to the official games, but it at least tries to be original in some ways that make some of the twists stand out. The translation job is still pretty spotty, so unless you watched that youtube video on how to read Korean you're not gonna get any mileage besides the main story. A flawed game, with some solid moments, if you need another DR to fill the void, you can do much worse. Case's 4&6 are great and the ending is surprisingly well done and emotional for a fan-game. Definitely worth a watch if you don't wanna play at least.
