“Squid Game 2” just recently dropped to Netflix, and it has a bunch of hype around it. It is the sequel to the popular show “Squid Game.”

The story picks up right where it left off. Seong Gi-hun, the main character, is still coping with the trauma and moral dilemmas from the previous games he participated in. He is determined to take down the leader of the organization behind the deadly games and find justice for the victims.

Season 2 introduces new characters who also have interesting reasons for joining the games. Each character is different and has a unique backstory, which adds layers of complication to the games.

One of the most captivating things about “Squid Game 2” is how creative and dangerous these new games are.  Players will have to use their brains, physical abilities, and sometimes plain luck to make it through. These scenes are tense and suspenseful, making for a thrilling viewing experience.

Squid Game 2″ has a top-notch production value. The set is elaborately designed, adding a lot of realism to the story. Special effects were also great to make those games appear realistic.

Music and sound effects also contribute to suspense and increase the emotional appeal of important moments. The book’s graphics are equally great, with striking visuals that enhance the story further.

“For me, the sound effects and music are my favorite parts.  The music is also good and is played at the right time.  It makes the series much more intense as it already is,” stated Saint Paul’s sophomore Kelly Thompson.

The strength of  “Squid Game 2” is how it focuses on fleshing out characters. The two main protagonists now show their struggle in more real-life ways. Gi-hun tries to hold his desire for revenge but seems unable to get away from his concerns for the people he cares about playing the games with him.

His inner conflict and development make him an appealing protagonist. The addition of new characters brings depth into the story with their own personalities and challenges, which viewers will find themselves rooting for them, even when things seem impossible.

At the same time, “Squid Game 2” is not without its flaws either. Some plot twists are a bit predictable, and some of the new characters seem one-sided. The violence can be too much for some viewers.
