Happiness 2 is a mixed bag. Half of the heroines are kinda problematic, and it uses one of the most unfortunate cases of route enforcement, which doesn't help. For no real reason, I'm pretty sure.

You are forced to play one specific route at first. And the girl is incredibly flat, boring and couldn't have a more generic and clichéd "plot" accompanying her. Her introduction is terrible, the way she gets to meet the protag is terrible... she's basically a lost cause. I don't really know why a fucking moege does that mistake. Sure, this girl is "save", basically your typical old school main heroine. But being save and secure means that while you don't hate her (there's nothing THERE to hate), you won't like her either (because there's nothing there to like either). And not everyone is willing to play a route like that, especially if the other girls are more appealing. Okay, 2 other girls. One not really, but she basically has no screentime in common anyway, so it's hard to say much about her from that alone.

Seems like the game's rating on EGS was fucked with anyway. It started pretty high, and even with its still fairly low amount of votes it already went down quite a bit. I'm still interested in at least 2 of the routes and maybe grand. So for now I skipped this first route. Thanks to skipping being slow and needing ctrl (automatic skipping stops at day changes..... yes. It fucking stops at day changes), you still see a good amount of what generally happens, and nothing looked like it's more than typical moege stuff that wouldn't be important later. But, I guess I'll see. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. I don't like to do this, but I couldn't stand this route one bit.
