Don't Forget Our Esports Dream Reviews

Too bad there's no such thing as "neutral reviews" on steam. Cuz unfortunately this VN is not as exciting as its predecessor. Although it offers some cool new features like QTE (in a visual novel, goddammit!) or the "star sense" dialog system, its plot and characters fall way back compared to those in SC2VN. First of all, I was looking forward to a sequel... but it turned out to be a PREQUEL! And I had to guess it by myself after approximately an hour of gameplay while this fact is nowhere to be stated in the description. It only says "The next chapter" - how can you not think about a sequel??? At first the plot was pretty good and intriguing. Alas, after a couple of hours it started to become a drag. The new characters just aren't good enough. It's sure nice to see Jett again, but even Bolt's story is pretty boring, while his mentor - Lock - is almost an empty character. Bolt's admiration and fear of him feels somewhat unnatural - like it's there only cuz the plot says so. "I miss the old roster with Stunt and Reva" - that's what I kept thinking while hoping to finish the game soon. Anyway, the game's not too bad. The gameplay and visuals are top notch. It's just the fact that I've been dying of boredom while forcing myself to play through the first half (which was tedious as fuck!) that bothers me. The second half is sure better as it offers at least some excitement. Although the whole first game was breathtaking. So if you still haven't played the SC2VN, then go ahead and do it instead of trying to dive into this "next-chapter-prequel". But if you've already done it and still want to give this one a try - just don't expect much.
