Been really enjoying this. It’s a much better game than the first in every way. There’s such a level of polish and attention to detail in everything, you can really feel it. Also it’s an open world game that gets how exploration works. It’s rare that I will knock off every optional thing in an area before moving to the next.
The visuals are still really lavish but much more grounded this time. The missions and activities are really varied and every mission plays out differently. The combat seems well honed and walks a tight line between being challenging and fun.
While the first game was a 3 out of 5 for me, this one is feeling like a 5 out of 5. Still a long way to go though, but I’m not rushing it.
