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
