As I started playing this game, I was wondering why this one seems to be rated lower than the first one, the vibe seemed to be very similar, the same style… and then I found out. There is only one companion you can properly upgrade equipment on, the rest of them stay with you for a very short time or there is a storytelling reason preventing you from upgrading a weapon and such.
On top of that, I really wish they would do something about running away from combat or at least make the random combat less frequent. Taking out the gameboard, waiting for cards to be laid out, rolling for escape takes way too long as in 20 -30 seconds EACH TIME, depending if you also have to wait for happenstance cards (yes I timed it, in one part the combat was every five tiles and I was losing my mind :) ).
The one saving grace and the reason I pushed myself to finish it was the story, one after a true Yoko Taro fashion. Saying more would spoil this so I shall leave it there. Oh, and I do recommend playing with music on, it is wonderful.
