Reviewing a sequel to a game I liked is like Thanos: inevitable. Silliness aside, I've been looking forward to reviewing the sequel the moment I finished the first one, and let me tell you that it didn't disappoint at all.

The game starts right where the first season ended, showing a short recap of the events from the previous game for those who don't remember them or, for some odd reason, didn't play the first season. Unsurprisingly, it is as engaging as ever, featuring a healthy mix of Deadpool-esque jokes, double entendres, and serious moments that move the story forward. Furthermore, the characters are as well-written as ever, expanding on some characters' backstories and fleshing out those that haven't had much time in the spotlight in the previous season. And yes, they are just as likable as in the first season.

On another note, the game also kept the color-coded choices that let you choose how the MC replies to others and how he comes across, whether they find him witty, serious, or aggressive edgelord, which is a nice touch, even if it doesn't change anything aside from some flavor text and a few achievements down the road. Moreover, it includes more relevant choices that affect the plot in one way or another, mainly leading to the protagonist's untimely death by some ridiculous circumstance, whether it's by smoking a blunt laced with substances that are toxic to humans, by accidentally bringing himself to a Not Safe For Humans BDSM session, and so on.

Audiovisual-wise, it's not much different from the sequel, meaning that it's still a feast for the eyes. It's full of gorgeous backgrounds and beautiful characters with unique designs. Moreover, the animations are so smooth that you can't help but revisit the sex scenes whenever you're in the mood, especially since the voice acting is top-notch.

However, the similarities also extend to its soundtrack, or lack thereof. While the silence in the space travel scenes fits well because players can somewhat feel the universe's vastness and emptiness, the rest of the scenes lose a lot of impact because of it. Heck, you can even tell how much of a difference having a soundtrack makes, as the few scenes that have some background music are much more immersive.

No surprises here, Projekt Passion: Season 2 is exactly what I was expecting it to be: an equally hilarious and engaging AVN with a cast that easily grows on you and visuals that your eyes and your buddy down there will appreciate. Don't think twice and play it ASAP, but it's better to start from the first season if you haven't played it before. That way, you can get a better grasp of the story.
