I really tried to enjoy the story since it was looking like the writing was going to be actually good this time, but I ended up missing the charm and mystery of the first game.

LIS 2 just ends up looking like a poor attempt at social commentary. It wants to make you feel so bad about two mexican kids fleeing the US in a time of open racism but fails to acknowledge them and forgets to treat them as actual people. I'm just glad I was able to finish it and move on with my life to be honest.
