While I'll miss freely roaming, I'll review this as if it were stand alone. First, the pros. The animations for the lewd scenes are nice and as expected looped. This version introduces a wide roster of girls that can be interacted with, but most having little to no content. Lia is the only one you can actually do the dirty dance with as of Version 1.3, as the others only net nude scenes/stills.
Now for the negatives. Most will tell you it is significantly more grindy than the previous game. While true, its own shortcomings are apparent even as a stand alone via the minigames. Talking to girls earns affection, but requires an RNG minigame of selecting an icon and hoping it gives a +1 to affection as opposed to an X. Each talk event can potentiay earn 4 points of affection. This makes the grind fundamentally longer as it is now RNG based.
Now, there are ways to level up skills, however as of 1.3 on android, it only crashes when attempting to take classes to improve skills. I also have no idea what the skills do, if anything.
The game's shortcomings also become more apparent when there is a slew of interactables that clearly have no purpose yet. On one hand, one can see it as things to come to be excited about. On another, one can presume the Developer isn't quite focused and is adding ideas as they come to mind.
Either way, it isn't bad, but it is very bare bones in its current state. To the very least, you get decent animations with Lia, if you can stand the minigames to unlock the scenes.
