I first started this game thinking I would find it inferior to the first game, which was my mindset going in and I didn't have any fun. But after I got past that, I had a wonderful time with it, it exceeds in its gameplay and honestly the septentrione arc is really good. I really enjoyed it on a second playthrough especially when on that second run I did Anguished One's route, really fucking good.
For as much as I don't like the Triangulum arc, I will admit it got me to cry a couple times, my god this game hits way different than the first game and I love it for that.
Good shit
