Like the first game a very text heavy story driven JRPG. The story is mostly written for girls and reminds a lot of fan fiction. While it drives the story forward, the massive amount of deus ex machina moments was a bit of a letdown for me. Also in some parts the game feels a bit stretched. I prefered the first part of the series. But if you want to follow the story of the bracers you won't get around this game. And it is still an ejoyable experience of course.
Some people write, that the game doesnt work on Windows 10. I have Win 10 with a nvidia 970 and it works without problem. The game itself is one of the few games that actually try to make you feel, like a real swat officer. If possible you shouldnt kill suspects and bad guys will often surrender if you gas them and scream in their faces. Dont forget to cuff them and collect their weapons! And be sure to select the 5 man campaign for the main single player exprience.
One shouldnt expect a traditional RPG experience with this game. in many way it reminds me of games like Sorcery!. You move your party over a world map while a narrator tells the story and you can make decisions. But in contrast to a gamebook this game also features real-time combat against hordes of enemies and well done cutscenes. The graphics look great and the story is very interesting to the end. The downside is, that the combat is rather simplisitc after you figured out how to do it. You control 4 characters that can take three abilities each into combat. I still very much enjoyed the game as an interactive fantasy story and didnt regret that i bought it for full price.
