ReviewSomewhat disappointed.

I really liked the first game, but this one seemed to lack some refinement.

It is quite shorter (only three chapters) than the first one and only focuses on four characters (one of which loses relevance after the first chapter). The story didn't instigate me and the characters were uninteresting. Also, the endings were even unsatisfying.

One cool mechanic that debuted here was the feature of setting up and spreading fake news to tarnish the target's reputation. But it only appears in the last chapter and is used in a very shallow way. They could have developed it more.

In the end, I got the feeling that this was a very expendable DLC of the first game instead of a sequel.
