    • “Though it might be worth picking up the first game first, or at least reading a summary because this game does throw you into 'chapter 3' of the story so it feels like you need to play the first one to fully understand what's happening.”
    • “The whole plot of 'trials have become televised events' alternate reality of how the game treats its setting is nice because it kinda helps give that suspension of disbelief when things are kinda game-y and/or don't line up with expectations of how trials work in real life, though I'd like to see that aspect actually leaned on a lot more in the story.”
