Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
was on track to surpass its predecessor in almost every aspect (except maybe the soundtrack): the narrative was even more engrossing and suspenseful, the city was fleshed out even more, the polish on the minigames and inspectable evidence really impressed me, and Sonny & Marty are still one of the best investigating duos I've played in a video game.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
There's a constant soft soundtrack of jazz music, and somehow, there's even a dynamic light system: lighting effects, neon signs, moving shadows, rain-slick reflections, and changes in illumination.

I completely fell in love with the witty writing, BEAUTIFUL art style, and meaningful plot.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The gameplay is varied and engaging, with updated interrogation mechanics, new puzzles (like the fun broken-glass jigsaw), and clever world-building through its codex.
