This game puts a new spin on the first game’s themes of death, deception, and trust, brings in a new cast of dead teenagers and updates the setting for the 2020s, all while still keeping that timeless TWEWY style. However, if I had envisioned a sequel, NEO: The World Ends with You is almost exactly what I would’ve envisioned, right down to making Sho Minamimoto playable.
Yes, it’s my favorite game of all time, but I felt like Neku’s story was at an end after the original DS game, and no follow-up could possibly pick up where it left off. I’m going to be very honest here-I never actually wanted The World Ends with You to get a sequel.
