What we like:

Well-written and intricately designed CYOA game with several interesting paths and endings
Great character developments and story arcs
Game accounts for a whole lot of different choices, providing material for RP-ing your character through multiple playthroughs
Complex characters and decisions in moral grey-areas

What could be improved:

Romantic relationships are vague and unclear
Some choices seem confusing and less meaningful than the first game
Lack of decisions regarding your command may disappoint some players
Too much exposition by the end of some playthroughs
