I went into this quite excited, really dug Gen 1 in just about every regard, even if AC1 was the peak.

However, I feel like this game fell kinda flat. The arena and gameplay is a total improvement, music's pretty nice too. Although from an aesthetic/story perspective I can't really consider AC2 better than Project Phantasma or Master of Arena, I found most of the missions to be unmemorable save for a key few. Leos Klein is kind of neat from a conceptual standpoint, but could've used a bit more fleshing out, then again you're not gonna top Nine-Ball.

The ending genuinely goes hard though.
Raven? Where will you? What will you do?
Uhhh I'm going to play Another Age
