This is an improved, more polished version of the best social deduction game ever made. If you like the last one or the genre as a whole, you'll love this game. It's that simple. The classic mode is pretty bad for veterans because it's very balanced in favor of town winning but the other modes are a blast.

There are some technical issues and the UI is more complicated than it needs to be, which is what's driving all the negative reviews. Some people are crashing but ever since they restarted the servers earlier it's been a stable experience for me.

The new roles are awesome. New neutral roles like Doomsayer and Shroud can cause a lot of chaos and confusion, new town roles like Admirer and Deputy are creative and support risk vs reward gameplay.

Mafia has been merged into Coven, which while initially disappointing turned out to actually be a great idea. They took the best parts of Mafia and Coven and merged roles. There are no longer boring roles like framer or consig around. Every coven role feels like it carries its own weight.

The devs also reworked problematic roles like investigator, which limited how many roles you can claim. If you were a serial killer for example, you *had* to claim doctor. Now, you have a wide range of roles you can fake, and the game has more depth as a result. So far, it's been really fun. Highly recommended.

TL;DR: Like ToS1? You'll like ToS2. Hate complex social deduction games? Then this game isn't for you.
