If you played the previous game, it’s very familiar. Just like in the previous game, in this game you have to explore people’s dreams to find answers and clues for your investigation. So, I highly recommend reading through it. There is some amazing value in there as well. When you forgot who a certain character is or what a certain word means, you can easily look it up in your file. Something that’s really great in this game is that there is a sort of glossary. In general, this pacing and story of this game is good. There are some weaker moments in this story, but overall, these are far and few between.

They make the characters come to live and pull me in the game’s world so hard. I honestly sometimes felt that the new characters were background characters in the original game… The voice acting in this game is one of the strongest points of this game. The new characters don’t feel out of place at all. In terms of writing, this game really delivers. Apart from a few lines, it doesn’t change too much, so you won’t be missing out if you answer the question or not. Then, it skips over the dialogue that spoils parts of the previous game. And if you won’t get yourself spoiled on the previous game, certain pieces of dialogue are changed if you are unable to answer the questions about the ending of the previous game. Since this game is a sequel, there is a potential that people start with this game before the original. A sort of check to avoid spoilers of the original game. Something that really surprised me in the opening few minutes of the game is that there is something implemented that is something I think should become a standard in other visual novel games. And sidenote, to avoid spoilers I’m going to explain some things in this article with rather generic terms instead of the in game terms. At least, that’s the way how I enjoy it the best. The story in visual novel adventure games like this one are best experienced as blind as possible. I know I might be cutting it a bit short or being extremely vague, but this is a sort of game where you should go in as blind as possible. In terms of explaining the story, that’s all I’m willing to say to avoid spoilers. So, why did the case turn into a cold case and why suddenly after 6 years are there new clues found? After the case going cold, suddenly 6 years later a new clue is found that totally reopens the cold case. Both these agents are involved in a cold case which they are trying to solve for their own reasons. In this game, you also play as Ryuki who is another investigator at ABIS. Now, in this game, that isn’t really the case anymore since the focus is more on daughter Mizuki. An investigator at ABIS with a special AI companion implanted in his eye. In the original game, you took on the role of Date. I chose to play this game on Switch since I played the original on Switch as well.

But in any case, let’s dive right into the game while I welcome you to leave a comment in the comment section with your thoughts and/or opinions on this game and/or the content of this article.Įditoral note: this game also released on all other major platforms. This review is spoiler free, so if you haven’t played the game… You shouldn’t worry about that. But is it any good, or is this a sequel that we should avoid? Well, that’s what I want to talk about in this review. And that is a sequel to AI: The Somnium Files, which picks up 6 years after the original game. Now, after I finished that game, I couldn’t wait to see what Kotaro Uchikoshi and his team were going to turn out next.

Axiom verge 2 true ending series#
I was beyond excited that after the trilogy ended, a new series by the same writer started in 2019. I sometimes quote various moments to this day. My favorite series in this genre are the Nonary games.

I could list examples here for quite a while, like Time Hollow, where you get a pen that can mess with the past in certain circumstances. Examples are Corpse Party where a cursed school plays tricks on your mind or Ace Attorney where you play as an attorney that takes on the strangest cases. A game with a deep story with memorable characters and unique gameplay that draws you into the world of the game. One of my most favorite genres is an adventure visual novel.
