Probably about as good as the first game. I had some issues with it but the characters have wonderful relationships, the somniums are far better than ai 1 and it features a plot twist so insane it took me like half an hour to wrap my head around it. My only big issue is how they handle some of the characters. Date feels really hollow in this game, because they kind of just bring back date from ai1 without any of the character development he went through there. I understand it is as not to spoil the first game, but it still feels pretty disappointing. Great game and you should play it!
