Critics scored it 81. Players sit 12 points higher at 93 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.

What players say

It was good, it was a bit odd compared to the first one, and I did like the dynamic of handling multiple people to talk to, but at the same time it felt it took away from the actual story. The first one was so story based, and in this one I felt I couldn't really pay attention when I was rushed in those little mini games, I guess I would call them. But it was still good and I like the differences either way.
