Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
65 of 163 sampled reviews raised it
On the positive side: some of the interesting world-building elements of the first game are significantly explored and expanded here, and the story is a bit longer than the first game (my first play-through here lasted longer than all of the combined plays it took me to reach 100% achievement completion in the first game).
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
20 of 163 sampled reviews raised it
The voice acting is significantly more consistent than in the previous title (which is to say, none of it actively got in the way of my enjoyment or appreciation of characters).
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
18 of 163 sampled reviews raised it
On the indifferent side: character customization is improved on the first game, in that you can actually customize a few more things.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
13 of 163 sampled reviews raised it
There's more customization on pronouns and body type of the player character than in the previous game which is great.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
7 of 163 sampled reviews raised it
Don't love this one as much as the first.I Liked the customization of the main character, graphics are nice and there's a wide variety of potential story lines.
