The games are deadlier, this world more wild and cruel; but will Arisu ever make it back to the real world — and will it be worth everything he’s lost?
The second season is so much better than the first one! The games are more interesting, and there is much more philosophy, complicated (to some degree) dialogues.
If you made it through the first season, the second one is definitely worth it. As after the first one, I considered giving up on the whole series. Glad I didn’t.
I won’t call it a masterpiece, but it’s solid.
Games
- Naked king. My favourite game. Rules are difficult to remember and understand.
- Prison, cards on the back.
- Checkmate, running through the construction site. Queen and a boy. Red and blue.
- Justice. Acid on the head. Numbers from 0 to 100.
- Some other games, they showed us super-briefly. Nothing particular.
- Unkillable King of Spades ♠️, he was hit by a car, stabbed, hit by an arrow and then dodged them, he even survived a fucking blast 🧨
- Final Queen. Squash, 🤷♂️ some mind games, a-la Matrix, or virtual reality, or future, or whatever else.
