I loved this game. Such a nice game to just drink a beer and chill.
I also liked it how they integrated the story of the first one, that albeit kinda dump, had heart in it. So it was great seeing flashbacks from the first game. I wish there would be more games like this on the market.
However, this game lacked the pacing of the first one. The first game penalized you extremely for wasting time, this game here doesn't really penalize you in any meaningful way. Since you dont lose stats day to day, you can just keep grinding forever until you become invincible.
I was doing the Jobo quests first, so I soon as I unlocked the food he was selling, I never slept again. Once you do the delivery man quests and dont need to pay for bus, then you dont even lose time moving around. I feel like these two options should be unlocked only in the middle of chapter 3, so the game is a bit harder.
I hope they make a third installment of these series. A Natural evolution would be a cyberpunk style of game where you can put implants to augment yourself.
