Holiday Star takes place in a sort of parallel universe to the original yet still acts as a sort-of sequel. It's very similar to the original in that it starts very comedic and random, but switches gears into a dark, serious story that makes you genuinely forget that these characters are actually just extra-large doves. It is genuinely emotional and has real narrative themes. In particular, Holiday Star expands the story of Nageki and Kazuaki, who were my two favorites in the original. A must-play if you liked the original, and when it's on sale it's like $3 nowadays.

I had come into this game thinking that it'll be a deep game like the first one, but the first two chapters had made me think "Hm, maybe it's just a silly game after all and I put too much faith into this series. Surely it can never be as good as the first game." I was so SO wrong. I genuinely feel like they're tackling more difficult issues and yet the writing style seems more beautiful than the previous game. We learn more about the backstories of the birds, as well as their motivations and fears. The art is PHENOMENAL. I immediately bought the collector edition because I simply adored the backgrounds that are in the game. For Nageki lovers, rejoice. He takes a bigger role in this game and I can say I sobbed really hard at a few moments. I don't want to spoil anything because I truly believe the best way to experience this game is go into it blind, but it always fascinates me how Hatomoa can write such bittersweet stories that always hit me right in the heart. In conclusion, this game didn't disappoint at all when compared to the first game. I love the Hatoful Boyfriend series so much and I truly hope more people can love it too.

"Fight fire with fire, and hallucinogenic Filipino dove powers with hallucinogenic Filipino dove powers!" this game is amazing, you can be a magical girl, children have a tank, you can punch said tank, the king truly is like a frog leg, the seagulls are racist to you, and Anghel is amazing. 10/10, Nikola Tesla would've loved it
