rating revised LOL the more i think about this game the more it falls apart and the more bitter i get, i genuinely don't understand how people love it, doesn't even have a pinch of what makes the first one good, old characters get flanderized and new characters are extremely underexplored or uninteresting, and there are many decisions that retroactively ruin aspects of the original, gameplay wise the somniums are good, but i think they lost the abstract confusing charm that made the first one so special in the first place, half of them are so direct they feel like therapy sessions rather than dreams, a shame, really, oh well, praying if theres ever another game it doesnt have any returning characters besides cameos at the very least, i really wanted to love this game, i really did, but it just misses so many of the biggests marks i just don't see how it was all worth it, even the big twist felt like a huge joke, ryuki&tama + komeiji, shoma and amame are the only redeeming aspects of this game, rant over.
