better than cyber sleuth, mostly in the story and character department. i never gave a single fuck about any of the characters in cyber sleuth, they were awful, but i found this main cast to be quite likable this time around.

the game feels more straight to the point but it still has those moments of dumping a lot of boring dialogue on you, and since its basically an extension of cyber sleuth, it still suffers from some of the same issues (unbalanced difficulty, boring environments, etc).

domination battles were a nice change of pace, although theres not a lot of strategy involved and playing them on hard felt like a massive slog sometimes.

also Yu made me question my sexuality
