story5 positive mentions
character development1 negative mentions
  • The art style is beautiful, with painterly anime visuals that capture traditional Chinese environments and historical atmosphere.
  • High-quality voice acting, including the protagonist, effectively conveys character emotions and enhances immersion.
  • The soundtrack is excellent and fitting, capturing the mood of both peaceful past moments and tense survival scenes.
  • The English localization is notably poor, featuring untranslated lines, placeholders, repeated text, grammatical errors, and untranslated key story segments that harm immersion.
  • The story's pacing is uneven due to disruptive flashbacks; the narrative lacks satisfying resolutions, with multiple tragic and bleak endings that leave little emotional catharsis.
  • Character development issues exist, including underwhelming protagonist growth, controversial and inconsistent handling of main heroines, and a sense that the plot is at times unfocused or relying on shock elements.
  • story
    63 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is lengthy and atmospheric, weaving between past and present with themes of tragedy, survival, and regret, but its pacing and frequent flashbacks disrupt the flow. Critics note a bleak, often unsatisfying narrative with inconsistent character development and unresolved plotlines, though the side story involving Liang and Man Sui is praised for its coherence and emotional depth. Overall, while some players found moments of emotional impact, many view the main story as a disappointing downgrade from its predecessor, hindered by heavy-handed tragedy and lack of narrative clarity.

    • “The plot overall is quite lengthy and a slow burn, with the point of view shifting between the protagonist’s present and past.”
    • “The plot is lengthy, but it kept me genuinely engaged throughout my playthrough, and I will admit that some of the normal endings, particularly one of the true endings, moved me to tears.”
    • “Despite the infuriating localization gaps and a relentlessly bleak narrative that borders on cruel to its characters, the core story, art, and music kept me invested until the end.”
    • “The story can't seem to decide whether it's total fanservice for the prequel, a dystopian survival story, or a tragic love story trying to tell itself it's not a tweaked copy of Romeo and Juliet with a weak and nonsensical plot twist.”
    • “The flashbacks begin to overstay their welcome and don’t mix well with the protagonist’s circumstances in the present; the memory loss as a plot device starts to feel lazy.”
    • “The story was honestly mostly boring as well, especially the flashback scenes to the past, they went on for way too long without really offering much.”
  • music
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music is widely praised for its immersive, well-composed soundtrack that effectively captures both peaceful and tense atmospheres, blending traditional Chinese instrumental elements with high-quality voice acting. It greatly enhances the game's tone and emotional impact, earning spots on players' personal playlists despite some criticisms of the story and localization. Overall, the soundtrack is considered a standout aspect of the game.

    • “The soundtrack is so immersive and well-composed that I am considering adding several tracks to my personal playlist, and the high-quality voice acting brings a lot of life to the characters.”
    • “The soundtrack immerses players in tense atmospheric scenes, alongside traditional Chinese instrumental music.”
    • “Furthermore, the traditional music and sound design are excellent across the board.”
    • “Despite the infuriating localization gaps and a relentlessly bleak narrative that borders on cruel to its characters, the core story, art, and music kept me invested until the end.”
    • “Outside of my complaints, I did love the music, voice acting, and art, but it is just a massive shame that the story was a huge downgrade, as well as the state it is currently in for the English translation.”
  • atmosphere
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere is praised for its effective blend of tension and nostalgia, with a soundtrack that beautifully complements both peaceful memories and intense survival moments. The art style enhances the historical setting with a refined yet familiar aesthetic, while character appearances dynamically shift the mood, creating an immersive, story-driven experience focused on survival, memory, and connection.

    • “The soundtrack is great; it captures the tone and atmosphere of reminiscing about peaceful and romantic moments of the past, as well as the tension of escaping and surviving a massacre.”
    • “The atmosphere of dread is done very well in the first sections of the story.”
    • “The art style beautifully captures the historical atmosphere, feeling like a more settled and refined version of the prequel.”
  • emotional
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The emotional aspect of the game is characterized by a poignant yet somewhat restrained impact, offering moments of warmth and realism without reaching the emotional highs of its predecessor. The story explores complex, bittersweet feelings and nuanced character relationships, resulting in a resonant but somewhat stagnant emotional experience. Overall, it provides a thoughtful portrayal of love and regret, grounded in logical and realistic emotional impulses.

    • “While it didn’t hit me with the same emotional highs compared to its predecessor, the story still left me with a lingering emotional impact.”
    • “This was a heartwarming moment but is also bitter when you realize that this isn't really a concrete solution to his problems and he is merely feeding into his obsession.”
    • “Ultimately, The Weeping Swan is a deeply flawed but emotionally resonant experience.”
  • graphics
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are a standout feature, showcasing a refined art style that builds on the prequel while effectively capturing a historical atmosphere. The charming anime-style character sprites, CGs, and painterly backgrounds are detailed and beautifully colored, particularly in the characters' hair and clothing.

    • “The art style feels like a more "settled" and refined version of what we saw in the prequel, but still similar to the prequel, while beautifully capturing the historical atmosphere.”
    • “The game features charming anime-style character sprites, CGs, and background artwork done in a painterly illustration style; I especially love the detailed coloring of the characters’ hair and clothing.”
    • “The aesthetic presentation is a definite highlight.”
  • optimization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The reviews mistakenly praise the voice acting performances rather than addressing the game's optimization, indicating a lack of feedback on this aspect.

  • character development
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Character development is largely lacking, with many characters serving only as fanservice and offering minimal growth for the protagonist. The remaining characters have shallow arcs with bleak, seemingly forced resolutions, giving an impression of forced edginess rather than meaningful progression.

  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is well-balanced, providing moments of levity that complement the overall tone without becoming overly depressing. It effectively adds lightheartedness when appropriate.

    • “It isn't entirely depressing but rather humorous when it needs to be.”
