Vibe check on Squid Game season 2

Apologies if this counts as off-topic.

Anyways, the EFAP crew rightfully loved the first season, and the second is now out, and I'm wondering what the vibe is on this one, since I've haven't heard from mauler, though I've admittedly not seen everything the crew posts.

Just off the screenshots youtube bangers me with, the entire season seems to be dropped at once , and Protag seems to be in the games again, which are big red flags to me, particularly after Arcane S2 being a dud, but that's obviously not a fair judgment on it's own.
