I can't applaud the writing enough, and on top of that there's awesome voice acting, an impeccable interface, engaging and user-friendly mechanics, a great OST, and even Easter eggs for the more curious of us.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
This sequel is a significant improvement to the original, with better fluidity, improved visuals, added cutscenes, further interactivity, unique minigames and puzzles and most importantly, excellent English translation, which was my biggest criticism in the original game.

There are many minigames, puzzles and simulated hacking which at the end of Chapter 3, definitely steps up the difficulty!
