RGO suffers from some of the repetitive maladies that afflicted its predecessor, in addition to having a near-insurmountable early game. However, the game as a whole is an improvement, featuring several QoL improvements to the largely-identical gameplay loop. The story, too, is majorly superior; this time out, the characters feel less like generic templates designed to pad the setting and more actual people with stories to tell. There's also a Cowboy Bebop radio station.
