Fantastic game. I'd like to give it 4.5/5 (I'd give the first game 5/5) but there's no halfsies so I don't mind rounding up for a random internet review.
The gameplay is good, the art/aesthetic is good, the animations are good, the sound is good. I honestly think the biggest problem with the game is that I want more. I can feel the love and care put into this game and am here for it.
- The controls are fairly tight on controller while I might've noticed a jank hitbox a couple of times. PC controls seemed fine to me the few times I used it.
- The art is top tier. The aesthetic is great though I'm biased for the Bloodborne-esque pandering of the first SiNiSistar.
- The animations are great, however I do wish there were more animations and more to them. I feel like SiNiSistar 1 had more depth to it's ero aspects since enemies could kill/down you in different ways which would give you different animations whereas in SiNiSistar 2 any given encounter really only turns out one way aside from the looping scenarios. To put it another way I think the first game built tall while the second game built wide. I'm not complaining, but it feels like a different approach for sure.
- Music and sounds are just as good as the first game.
- Difficulty seems like a step up from the first game but it's really just a knowledge check. Very souls-like in that sense. A lot of bosses can be difficult on the first go but once you've learned what makes them tick most are trivial.
I will say I don't think the game is overrated though. It's held in high regard on dlsite and f95zone for a reason. Ero games can be more than just porn. Other than that, the gore/ryona is not for everyone, but those who can at least appreciate that sort of thing might be impressed.
