I was looking forward to this game for years now, and now that it is here I am very happy that it is finally out, but not so happy about all aspects of the game. The core gameplay however is excellent, They really improved the match 3 formula from the first game and added more twists and is more challenging, but in a good way. There is a new leveling system for skills that is a bit confusing at first, but once you figured it out it is fine. I still liked the system for the first game better tho. What I really don't like is, how the game treats the characters. The cast is very diverse, which is good and there are even some returning woman, that have some interesting story developments. The problem is, you don't learn about the characters like you did in the first game. You had to talk to them, get to know them and get on multiple dates, in this game everything feels rushed, you don't even have to talk to the girls if you don't want to and even if you do, there is no getting to know them. You basically go on 2 dates and then sleep with them and that's it. They also don't send you messages with pictures anymore. The characters in hunie pop 2 feel more like a piece of meat that is very good, but missing all the other ingredients of a good dish. I still recommend the game if you are a fan of the first game, however the first game is by far better, and I am a bit disappointed after such a long wait for the game.
