Generally a good sequel but also disappointing in several ways. While the narration of the action scenes still isn't up to snuff, S is far less reliant on fights in general and the ones that are there have a lot more visual flare to make them more exciting. S adds a lot of new characters and while they're all pretty fun in their own ways, only the select few who got their own routes got much time to shine. I enjoyed the new routes, particularly Kokoro's, but the routes in S typically spend too much time on H-scenes and not enough on building up an impactful story so I ended up preferring the first game. I also just generally prefer spending time with the Kazama family and they really took a backseat in this one. I appreciate them adding a route for Koyuki but making it a retcon of the past feels like a real cop-out. I realize it's a lot of complaining but the eccentric fun of Majikoi is still certainly present throughout the game so it was still a real fun time.
