Not Tonight 2

Boring plot and ugly-as-♥♥♥♥ portraits. Stale, outdated, narrow-minded dialogue with inconsistent progression. It takes the excellent *Not Tonight* formula and bogs it down with nuisance activities meant to add “nuance,” when they are really just busywork. A massive downgrade from the first game. The moment I saw the anime-ified character portraits, I knew this ♥♥♥♥ was going to be ass. The gameplay is still solid-ish, but only because 90% of it is based on the first game’s gameplay loop. I really wanted another addition to one of my favorite game formats, yet this ended up being a sad, neo-political dumpster fire that never needed to happen. I would rather replay the first game and see Sharen again.

Takes the gameplay of the original and expands on it in good ways. The humor is a little on the nose but apt giving the current political climate. It's very obvious in these reviews that the people being made fun of don't like being made fun of, but, well, they've earned it. Highly recommend.

Maybe the real Not Tonight 2 was the apartment we lost from the first game along the way.

Not nearly as good as the original, unfortunately. The extra mechanics during jobs are a pain in the hole and pretty cartoonish, the writing is a lot worse, and as there are no clear mission instructions for the MapO quests you have to guess what the right thing to do is and the guess is often wrong, which doesn't feel very fair. I was really looking forward to playing this after the first one, and the setting/premise was interesting to me considering the way the American political landscape has ended up in recent years, but sadly the content is just not that interesting. The original game was incredible satire and also showcased Britain's- and particularly the South West's- unique pub and party culture. In this game the cultural references were weak, favouring a far more on-the-nose style of writing, and they chose parody over satire, making the whole thing feel like a cheap caricature rather than a piece of art with a message. I'm very disappointed tbh, I know the creators of this game are capable of much better work and I'm not really sure why they didn't deliver.

Not as good as the first one, the systems it uses are neat but the story isn't nearly as good, it's fine, but I didn't want to finish it about halfway though, also it makes you go to an external website for one of the puzzles and that's just silly.

Very fun, I highly recommend this game. Sure its got its faults but overall I loved it!
