The gameplay has improved significantly, with the removal of the frustrating alliance mechanic and the introduction of a more engaging system that balances power recovery and health management.

The only thing I still miss is a manual save, since it can happen that you accidentally choose an answer different from what you wanted, and then all you can do is start from the top. But the story itself is really interesting, and it was nice to see my character have the ending she deserved.”
