Mixed, I feel like. On the one hand I do enjoy a lot of the new stuff they added, but some of the additional new content feels... meh? Like they felt like they needed to add in these character realizations that just don't 100% mesh with the already-established stuff sometimes. But the gameplay is really smooth, the music is great, the game is absolutely beautiful...

Then there's some really abysmal writing (in social links) that's leftover from the original game that I didn't experience before, since I played with FeMC. Also the general misogyny/male gaze of certain scenes. They removed the one NPC being a transmisogynistic caricature, so you'd think they could rewrite more things, but oh well. My original experience with male MC is with the manga/movies, which feels a lot less male gaze/pandering.
