Finished the new DeepOne trial. Pretty short, one chapter with two short battles with monsters. Special effects during fights are great still, they probably poured all their budget into that since the MC isn't even partially voiced this time.
The premise and the fact that there's an antagonist group already makes it more interesting than the first game but said antagonist group didn't show up in the trial so who knows whether they'll actually be fun. They're also doing this meta thing through the flowchart where (You) get to help out by viewing extra scenes that unlock through the game that will contribute to the plot somehow.
The writer took criticism about lack of h-scenes in the first game pretty hard it seems so he threw in sex with the loli right after the prologue battle and has sample h-scenes for the other girls in the trial too. Pretty nice.
Not enough to tell whether the game will actually be good this time, but it's not like us chuunibros are getting anything else this year.
