Overall, this game just makes me sad. Not because of an emotionally strong ending or anything, but because there's so much potential here that goes to waste. First of all, despite the title, there's barely a thread of connection between this game and the original Soul Hackers. I really like the Sabbath system but I don't like that the rest of the battle system is basically just modern Persona but you can change the demons for each character. Speaking of characters, I think they actually do a pretty good job when it comes to writing them, but there once again could have been so much more. And don't even get me started on the day one DLC which should have really just been part of the base game in the first place. At the end of the day, I really like this game, but there's much better entries within the Megami Tensei series to play than this one.
