This is the best game in the series. Gameplay was refined from Oni1 and better. Lots of new characters and locales to explore. You even get to revisit areas from Oni1 again. The game had a big branching path system based on character affinity and your relationships. So many things change based on it. You can get gold early in the game to spend in shops and acquire random gifts which you can in turn give to your companions. Raise your affinity with one character might lower another or Raise your affinity really high with a character and you might get more scenes and paths based on them. It's impossible to see everything on one playthrough. In fact the system is so big it would probably take ten playthroughs to see every event. After beating the game there is a timeline reveal to see what could have a happened where so next time you can try to go for it. Plus the game has a ton of unlockables on top of that. The game is very feature packed.

Gameplay though was some sweet bliss. The countering system is back and a bigger focus. Landing critical strikes on enemies and trying to chain them is one of the best feelings ever ever had in a game. The quick strike and flash looks and sounds so good and satisfying. More weapons and attacks really flesh out the arsenal. Enemies are fun to fight and have some pretty cool designs. Fighting gauntlets of enemies is so fun. Quite an improvement from Oni1. The only negative to me is the final boss kinda sucks.
