If you're coming into this game thinking it's going to be like anything you've seen in the anime, turn away now. I say this because that was my exact thought process when I purchased and began playing this game a few years ago. As a result, I came out of my first playthrough disappointed. Mandatory Happiness maintains the setting and characters from the first season, conveniently dropping the new protags somewhere in the middle of all that. MH is fully voiced, which is something that I appreciated while playing and is one of the high points of the game. The story, is not, however. It's not bad, but falls flat in many areas. There's not a lot of stops along the way, so it ends up being a pretty straightforward experience. This makes the journey to end of the game feel like a hurtle, and when you get there, it's anticlimactic at best. Furthermore, the new characters were not built up enough to stand on their own in a game full of beloved faces that have seasons of development and characterization behind them. Which is unfortunate, because in spite of that, I really enjoyed Nadeshiko and Tsurugi's characters. Some other positives: the 2048 minigame, a fun yet confusing addition (but I still welcome it anyway), art gallery, glossary, and other small things that don't really save MH from its middling story but are nice to have regardless. If I had to rank this game, I'd give it a 6. Maybe my bias as a PP fan is stopping me from scoring it lower, but I also can't go any higher than that. I'd still recommend it though, I was disappointed with this game due to its wasted potential, but still found some moments I enjoyed. Plus someone else may find more to like about this game than I did.
