So this game does a great job of giving a good reason for the game starting from ground zero again with the character moving. The 'Merican Yokai were a fun insight into the stereotypes that Japan associates with the US and the X Files refrences were a nice nod to the millennials playing this children's game; however the second protagonist was a tad annoying which was sad since her mascot yokai called back to the tragic background some yokai had in the first game. Its another example of a game drawing on elements of the first game that were spat on in the sequel to remind the trepitatious why they like this series.
