[Edit]
Got around to finishing season 2 of this. Wasn't really expecting them to finish the story and wrap everything up by the end of this season. I really liked the first season but this second one, I dunno... it felt a little hamfisted and messy. Rushing to tie up the story probably didn't help. I feel like this season relied a little too much on viewers having experience with the game. The first season had some of that too, but somehow it didn't feel as bad. I guess with a first season you kinda just expect them to throw a bunch of characters out, which would get flushed out in more detail as things progress. They don't however really expand on the huge amount of characters they throw into the mix and instead just add more. What you're left with is too many characters in a poorly fleshed out world that ends before explaining half of what's going on, let alone properly establishing the motivation behind the villain or their goals. It's a lot of "who's that, what's that, what are they doing?" It ended on what felt like a "oh, that's it?" finality that should have been much more grand. There's still good stuff here, the interpersonal dynamics are good, but too much feels lacking, in a sort of "go play the mobile game" kind of way, and lets be honest, that's probably intentional.
