Oh, I will say, since this is the Yiik appreciation thread lol. some things I did like. The new combat system is actually p good. In the last chapter I found myself really wishing it was scaling in difficulty, bc i was just kinda steamrolling enemies, but in bosses like the Perfume King fight or the final one, it really came alive. The fights seems less frequent so far in NG+, but more impactful.
I also mostly liked the Nameless Child story and the stuff with Michael and the Camera. It seems like some of that is more central to NG+, so it does have my interest piqued slightly.
