Better than the first game in most aspects. A lot better thought out murders, better and improved trial mechanics and they feel more interactive and alive. [b] Atmosphere [/b] - is basically the only thing that was better in the first game, it felt a lot more serious and eerie. From the weird setting to unsettling murder reveals and reactions. This time it just feels a lot more chill and not really creepy, as well as the setting and map being very colorful and open. [b] Music [/b] - is more or less the same, with a few new tracks that are also nice [b] Story [/b] - is actually good in this one. Characters feel more alive and the dialogue and writing are improved. The mystery is a lot bigger obviously since it also connects everything from the first game and adds its own stuff, but this time we finally get clear answers for most of the things. Apparently the anime concludes the story full but that doesn't matter bc this ending is satisfying enough 8/10
it was fun its a good story but the mikan fanservice was hella unnecessary
For the price don't hesitate!! They will make a bundle at some time. I haven't played the 3rd yet, but this one is an absolute masterpiece. I found the story development original and so danganropa-like. The main character is perfect. The gameplay is cool and the trials even more. They even have mini games after you finish the main story, which are quite long. It's still an old game but it's assumed and functions so well in it's way!!
