The first game remains one of my favorite open-world superpower titles, and it reviewed similarly. That's a very good sign, considering expectations at this point in the generation for a full console title. I never checked out the demo, but I still can't wait until I have a block of time for this.
Edit: I'm hoping people are off-base with their accounts of the overboard sexualization. Mimicking magical girl transformations alone isn't terrible, but I may need more info. One thing I appreciated in the first game was how they managed the characters without being gross about it.
Just to be clear, I didn't complain about the transformation (I know how magical girls work), or the outfit, but the need to have a shot focusing solely on her breasts.
It's more of a "that was unnecesary" that "OMG SEXUALIZATION". Not a big deal, and saying this was so sexualized is wrong but there's also no need also to overreact for Lime's post IMO.
Btw, I agree Kat was managed well in the first game and hope it continues (and I'm sure it will).
Tbf I honestly don't see how anyone would like to sexualize Kat, she's just FUN the character!
Toyama also says he is working on another title right after GR2.
