I loved the first game, the voiceacting was good, the gameplay was basic and a bit repetitive but carried me through the whole story. I quit this second opus after 30 minutes, the dialogues are very bad even for the actor of the first game. Something went wrong somewhere, maybe the actors did not receive the description of the context, or they had 1000 lines to record in 20min, I don't know what the problem was but the result is just painfull to hear and I had to stop.
Sadly I am really disapointed. I don't know where the game is trying to go: it adds layers over layers of gameplay, I found none of them really interesting (choose the option that fills the right gauge most of the time). It also felt very confusing and random in multiple occasion which didn't help. The game seems to borrow gameplay elements from many directions but fails to create a link between them to make something coherent. The visual art and the music are nice but the sound effects are lacking leading to a constant very calm atmosphere even when you're supposed to talk in front of an hysterical crown asking for blood.
