Grand Academy II: Attack of the Sequel

Your mileage may vary with this one. It really seems like this game only follows up on some of the story threads of the original. Meaning if you did a goody-two-shoes route and romanced Kinistra, you’re going to be disappointed. She basically doesn’t show up at all, save for one blink-and-you-miss-it scene where she has no dialogue. So, if you were villainous in the first one, you might wanna check it out. If you were heroic, probably skip unless the meta-aspect sounds super intriguing to you.

Can't really recommend a sequel that doesn't remember/acknowledge your choices in the first game. It may be worth playing on its own though, as the writing seems on par with the first game

This game might [keyword, might!] have been something that's fine on it's own, but it's just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ as a sequel. It doesn't really follow up on anything from the last game? Why does it say Kinistra and Phil are around when they literally play next to no role in this game.

I've never reviewed a game before, but I feel like people should be aware of what they're purchasing. This isn't a bad game, but it is a terrible SEQUEL (like Speed 2 or Home Alone 3). It barely counts as a sequel. If you played the first game as a classic villain, there's a good chance you'll only have a few issues here or there, but if you did ANYTHING ELSE - like attempt to be an antihero or hero.... You might as well have not played the first game, because NONE of your choices will have amounted to anything. This is probably why the reviews are so mixed. The reason I've personally decided to give it a thumbs down is simply because it isn't a good continuation of the first game, not because it's an overall terrible game. The writing is just as good as the first one and it could be a fun experience. I might have enjoyed myself more if I hadn't been so enraged over my lack of agency and the loss of everything I spent the last game working towards. Also, be prepared for around half of the characters from the first game to just not be there.

GAY! I don't know what the hell is up with this game but it is far too Inconstant to be a "story" base game. I am not sure if my roommate is male or female most of the time because the game itself keeps changing what they are called, it's the same with the rest people in the story as well, if my character is in a room with two others and it says "he said" which is a problem because the other two are female and I have the immersion breaking problem of trying to figure out who just said what and who the game is referring too. next is the story of the game in one word is "Derivative" I say this because it is so pointless, in the first game you make your way through as best you can, it's overly contemplated it's really simple but that is fine, in this one the "ground" of the story moves in weird and unforeseen ways all the time to point it really hard keeping track of what is going on in the story when it's over build then thrown away the next moment, it make its hard to like or see anything or anyone in the story as important or have reason to be in it in the first place.

Funny and a good story
