This was better than I was expecting. The dialogue can be bad at times and the choices they give you aren't very well detailed (Press Square to say "I'm not sure" actually makes you say "You are a fucking idiot") but the atmosphere was very pleasant.

The characters are likable and the setting is very comforting. The soundtrack really tops this off as well (I can't believe I fell victim to musician marketing).

Not much to say because, if you played the first game, you know not to expect a masterclass in storytelling and it's more of the vibe that comes with it. And the vibe in this one is far superior. Also, the choices you make actually seem to have actual consequences unlike the first game where literally nothing mattered so that was nice. The facial animation was a HUGE step up as well. Overall, I love the artstyle of this game. It's the perfect blend of hyper-realism and cartoon.

Enjoyed playing through the story and getting all the trophies over the course of a month and I'm a bit sad it's over. It left me wanting more but in a good way. Like, I wish I could explore more of Haven once it's over, play more arcade games, etc.
Sidenote: I really recommend you try to get the memories when playing as they add to the character and worldbuilding.

I'm not gonna play the DLC because it baffles me they gave the least interesting side character their own DLC.

Good game.
