Pros
Pro It's got a memorable story and characters
While this is a sequel to the first game, there's not a whole lot linking them together. It's got a standalone story that really digs deep to hook the player in. The characters are well-written and likable, they'll certainly keep you interested as you progress through the huge amount of main and side quests.
Pro The combat has seen marked improvement in this sequel
The combat in this series is pretty great - it's very combo heavy, you learn new skills as you level up, but it always had the pain of micromanaging combo points in order to get your desired effects. This particular title has done away with that, and instead has allowed your weapons to have skill slots/affinities with which to use your abilities.
It makes the game much more customizable, as you can have your weapons and armor equipped with whatever you like, meaning you can pull off combos of your choosing instead of being stuck with whatever the game gives you.
Pro Deep environmental storytelling
Through interacting with objects in the environment of the game (a house) one is able to learn piecemeal the story that the game is set out to tell.
Pro Interesting side stories
Besides the main story there are several side stories in the game that center around the rest of the people who live in the house. Through interacting with objects in the house one learns of the surrounding circumstances of those that live there.
Cons
Con Details are sometimes off
The objects and dialog aren't consistent for things such as the mom's place of employment.
Con Weak voice acting
While most of the voice acting is adequate there are many moments that stick out as poorly done and lessens the experience of the game.
