When I first finished
AI: The Somnium Files - nirvanA Initiative, my feelings were a lot more positive than those for its predecessor,
AI: The Somnium Files, which is admittedly not a high bar. (Boy are those names a mouthful.) But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that pretty much no individual component of
NI was better than
TSF… except for the fact that the main characters weren’t absolutely insufferable. So
NI may not be more well-crafted than
TSF, but the fact that we don’t play as Date still makes it way better in my book.
