Dude, only play this game if you can handle pretty much any triggering subject. This game has sex trafficking, child sexual abuse, suicide, mental illness, etc. I almost couldn't handle it with all the kid stuff. The subjects are very heavy and prominent. I love games with hacking, and Cyber Manhunt 2 was right up my alley. My only complaint is that I didn't really care for the mini games in this one, especially the end game. Anyway, if you love hacking games, I definitely recommend playing this, but please please check a full list of triggers before going into it. Your mental health matters!! 7.5/10

Stellar Game. I really enjoyed the first 4 chapters. The story was engaging I really enjoyed digging through everything and finding out the hidden twists and making inferences. The overarching themes of AI and corporate over-reach felt topical and for the most part well written even if they felt diluted by how many serious themes the game covered and how they were handled. I felt like chapter 4 suffered the most from this due to Stephen Hawking references and other jokes being put next to some of the most graphic stuff in the game. The mini games in the first 4 chapters also integrate well into game play and don't feel out of place, the one in chapter 3 in particular underlines the overwhelming horror of the dystopia that is being created. Chapter 5 gets off to a brilliant start as the player suspects what Clotho is before slowly finding out for sure as they investigate. I found one of the most effective moments in the entire game to be seeing the difference in the witopedia page from both computers. However as soon as the investigative section is over the game goes out with a whimper rather than a bang. The exposition dump feels too dense in the final section to really absorb much information and the boss battle is such a slog and departure from the rest of the game with few interesting mechanics that it just feels like a waiting game. Aside from my issues with the end of chapter 5. I found this to be a great and super engaging game and would recommend it to fans of puzzle deduction games like the golden idol series and obra dinn.

Incredible game. Much better than the original in all ways. Even the public opinion mini game is much better (the original reason I gave up on the first). Highly recommend!

A fun digital puzzle that isn't afraid to show the dark parts of humanity. Absolutely devoured this game, thank you Pirate Software for pointing this out to me.

When I found the first game I was quite impressed by a game that took the Orwell model to play another game. It gave a good story and decent gameplay. ESPECIALLY good stories. Here they come again with some new shocking stories and some even more innovative gameplay for this sort of game. Yes, for now I have three chapters out of what might be five or six with possibly two more as DLC, but even this is already a story. And just look at that price tag. They're giving us a decent game for a fraction of what others charge to give garbage.
