This game coming out literally like, 6 months after Original Generations makes me think they were supposed part of the same game. God it's hard to imagine OGs being even more packed but hey. Being essentially just more OGs but with some new, flashier faces, it's really hard to pass up on. The main issues I have with it are its length - 36 stages just go by waaaay to quickly, which is made worse by the fact that you mostly don't even get choose your deploys until about 20 stages into the game. You're given waaaay too little time to actually make use of your fancy new toys like the totally not Hokuto no Ken inspired Shura guys, or Axel Almer's kung-fu moustacheman. Not to mention the godawful hp bloat bosses the game just throws at you at the tail end like Dark Brain who are just begging to be cheesed instead of being beaten "legitimately". Still well worth the play, but it just can't help but feel like a leftover piece of the already overstuffed OGs pie. At least the pie is still really damn good.
