The continuation develops on itself quite neatly and the author's gain in experience is shown in the game's more intricate nature - gameplay and story wise.That being said, VERSUS: The Elite Trails is an amazing story, still one of the best from the Choice of Games platform, and it explores the universe imagined by Zachary Sergi quite well, deepening on its lore and creating new relationships with new characters. However, it can be lackluster, depending on what you are looking for.Following the trend on most Choice of Games titles (as opposed to some of the greatest Hosted Games titles), this game still attempts, and expands on, putting players in labeled boxes, trying to fit them on criterias instead of allowing their personality to flow. Taking further steps in the Mastery and Growth concepts utilized in the first book, you now have more stat variants and more goals to focus on, which, while they give you plenty of replayability, they also complicate your freedom of choice, since if you want to actually succeed and thrive in the game's world and score systems, you need to follow a role, an idea, a specific path which the author believes most closely matches with a personality type.Instead of giving you choices with consequences, the game gives you specific paths to follow, and while it allows you to diverge on those paths at any point in time, it also doesn't let you thrive if you do so. Most times, those paths are not even clear enough to the player, as even your choice of food may affect your stats, your character's personality and power, and this may generate apprehension as the player must wonder whether his choice falls in lign with whatever path he was forced to choose or not, or even fight against his intuition and desire to choose an option he feels is right for his character, but the game disagrees.It is disappointing to see a CoG game at this stage still being so limited in this matter, especially taking into account how experient Zachary is, having released more than 5 books in the platform already.Combat, while we are still on the matter of gameplay, is short, predefined, and generally speaking, weak. If you like to engage on combat as much as possible, you'll not only be disappointed with the lack of variety, you'll also be disappointed by how weak your character seems, being so near of ever-powerful beings. Though that might just be the circunstances you find yourself at in this story.As to the story itself, without bringing any margin for spoilers to the table, it expands on the VERSUS universe, ties some loose ends, creates more loose ends, the main story unfurls wonderfully and continuously, and leaves you wanting more. Exactly what you'd expect from one of Zachary's games. If I have any critiques about the game's story, they are those:First, if you are a heterosexual male, your romance options fall short. As in, they fall into an abyss. The game seems to give a lot more attention, detail and focus to homosexual, agendered and non-binary players and characters. If you are a heterosexual player, your options pale in comparison, giving the sensation that they were rushed and undeveloped. To keep it short, romance is not a strong suit in this VERSUS book, as it where in the Heroes Rise original trilogy.Secondly, this game - as in others written by Zachary - tries and introduces his imagination of societal concepts to the reader, and these new concepts are often well introduced, being part of the game's world and provoking emotional responses within the player through events. In this game, the author attempts to do the same with even more concepts in a much grander scale, and the experience may cause the player to feel disconnected by how abstract the descriptions are, how unconnected to the main story they seem, and especially, by how the emotional responses are provoked (more like forced) into the player's character, instead of the human reading the story. Breaking the main story to introduce politics many times over actually detracts from the experience.Finally, the game leaves a lot more room for the development of the story. So much so that I can't really feel it will be over in the next book in the series... Hopefully that's an indication that more than one will come, and that we will have plenty more of the planet Versus to explore.Ultimately, VERSUS: The Elite Trials feels like an experiment. First and foremost, the continuation to the story presented in book one, but an experiment into something new nonetheless. Some features worked well, others, not as much, and we can only hope that the next title will have thoroughly learned with its predecessor so we'll all have an even grander experience in the next to come.If you are already a fan of Zachary's games, or the Choice of Games platform, this is one of the gems worth taking. If you are looking for a feature not commonly found in a CoG title, or which goes against what I described in this review, then you are probably better off looking for a Hosted Games title instead.. (Side note: I've only done one playthrough of this, so some of the things I've talked about could be different with a different path, but the book should still be interesting on its first read.)To be quite honest the first Versus book never really caught my attention, but the first book was much shorter and it had lots of world building going on, especially with its political and religious choices. So I figured maybe it needed a first book to get it standing and that the second book would pop, like the Heroes Rise series that I happen to adore.I was also hoping that the second book would cut back on the political, social, and religious commentary, as they detracted away from the story rather than add to it.I was INCREDIBLY disappointed to find this book would take that commentary and crank it up to 5000.Which is sad, because there is bits where the story manages to hold me in, such as during the first trial where we are introduced to some new bright characters who were all very entertaining, and the bits where you actually sit down and talk about Dhanthik are also very interesting.However the story comes to an absolute stop the moment it decides political commentary is a absolute MUST and it happens so often that it very easily shoves me out of the story and it just makes me roll my eyes and groan loudly. I understand this is what the game wants to try to do but halting the story entirely to ask about your beliefs every few pages is not fun or thought provoking. The entire 'Make your own planet' subplot was entirely unnecessary, painful, and almost borderline offensive with some of its jabs at religion. I could not bring myself to care about this planet because I felt uncomfortable by the painfully OBVIOUS social commentary it was trying to pull, and halting the story just so you can choose a tax plan and education system is ridiculous. Not to mention the final 'shocker' moment the subplot has was ridiculous.However, that is my opinion, and I can maybe see how some people may be interested, but overall it took me out of the story completely and it honestly didn't serve any purpose in the story that you would care about.If you're expecting a bunch of kick\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665trials where your character goes out and takes names, you're not going to get it from this book. There are bits where you do fight but it is overshadowed by walls and walls of exposition. On a further note, there's not much character development either, there are certain parts that pay special attention to certain characters, but it left a lot to be desired. It makes me mad because character and story development could easily replace the unnecessary political debates, it's honestly hard to really sit and care for these characters save for a few that do get to show their character.Not to mention the ending just pads out for pages and pages and it really doesn't feel like much care was put into it as the story switched to telling me the results rather than showing me the outcomes of my choices. Overall it was kinda jarring and almost boring. I may have forgotten some details because of this.Maybe I'm not smart enough for this, maybe I just don't 'get it'. But when I play a sci fi series like this, choosing tax plans and deciding if presidential elections are a good thing isn't what I have in mind. This book WANTS to be deep. It DESPERATELY wants you to think and make connections to this book and real life, but they cram it so far into your face that it just becomes annoying. It becomes blatantly obvious that this book is making commentary on the current state of America and so it makes hard to get back into the book's world. (Side note: Why are you just making commentary on America? Isn't this a vast galaxy that features multiple cultures?)I'm sad. I WANT to like this book series, I WANT to feel the need to replay it so I can get more endings and features like with the Heroes Rise series, but I just can't bring myself to do it. I had to force myself to finish this. I can only hope the Author improves from this, though I know he can because he can write good book series. So in my opinion? Unless you're REALLY into political debates with a side of occasional sci-fi plot stuffs. Skip it.. What the first book did with world building, this installment ratchets up to eleven. We get to learn a lot more about other cultures, societies, and how things operate on Versus. We also get further development on characters that were only touched on in the Last Ones, as well as incredible new ones that you meet along your journey.I think it should be noted that most of your time IS spent with new characters instead of the old ones (with a few exceptions). If that bothers you then you might not like this game.The mysteries Zack set up in the first book also get explored more here in a very satisfying way. You find answers to some things, but they often create even more questions. It doesn't feel jumbled or overly confusing though. It only serves to heighten the tension.The last thing I think is worth mentioning is the overall tone of the game. In The Lost Ones, I could create great relationships with all the people I liked and have a more or less "happy ending." But things get very political in this game. A lot of people that I really liked had VERY different views and opinions. Eventually you have to make a choice on where you stand, and no matter what you decide someone will get hurt. It's just a matter of who. In this manner, it reminds me a bit of Heroes Rise: The Hero Project. This is the kind of game that really makes you think about your ideologies and why you choose them. Even more amazingly, it doesn't make a judgment on your actions or push you towards a certain way of thinking *cough* Hero Project Redemption *cough*.Overall this game builds on the complexities of the last one in every way without becoming confusing or preachy. Versus is an increasingly fascinating world, and your character has the opportunity to become even more unique and customized to your liking.But the cuss words still suck.. The first one was good.This one was even better. the characters of the verses series are well diverse and the story around the characters with connected backgrounds adds to the conflict giving it a intense feel around the already intense world. I loved it. I just wish the romances were fleshed out a little more. Perhaps that's not the main goal of the story (seeing its high direction toward ethical and political conundrums), but if the romance portion is available, I'd like more! :). The second book in the Versus collection, this story is rich, engaging, and beautiful. Even as a short story on its own, the Versus tale would be worth the read, but watching as your choices shape the world in your mind's eye makes it something that each person should experience several times over. It was a big bonus, for me, to see the ideas and themes from the first book transition to the second. My biggest disappointment is that book 3 is not released as of yet. I eagerly await the conclusions!Pros:Engaging, descriptive storytellingGood transfer of statsExcellently crafted charactersBalanced and satisfying branchesCons:Some grammatical\/spelling errorsFeels somewhat incomplete (given the episodic nature, it's expected, but it's still a con)I would definitely play Versus: The Lost Ones before playing this. You don't absolutely have to, but it definitely helps with world immersion, and to understand the background of these characters and many of the ideas and themes used throughout the story.. The story seems a bit short (I read it the first time through in 4 hours) but it does do a good job and expanding the story and moving forward. However, I feel like the gender-bending in this series has too much focus. There's a lot, and I mean a lot of focus on different genders and new vocab that I cant even really bother to understand. Also, this story has a section in it that... doesnt really make sense. Quite frankly, it feels like the structure is a bit off, but then again this does seem like it is going to be a long multi-book series. Therefore, the story probably feels like the structure is off because it may be setting up as a background for a future chapter.Overall, it was an enjoyable expereince.. [Spolier!] The world\/planet creation was just simply amaizing, waiting forward for thrid book!
