Aspiring but Flawed
I want to fit a lot into a short space so I'm going to use bulletpoints: Gameplay- + Combat much improved from the original, great weapon and enemy variety, maneuverability and verticality. + Melee combat is satisfying and forces you to move around quickly to avoid death. + Upgrades and elemental effects allow for some customisation and variety. - Guns are still weak and unsatisying to use, the only exception to this rule being Gauss Cannons. - Despite the freedom one is given by the more open world you frequently bump into invisible walls or can't take a more direct route to a location. - The respawn on death system is awful, death is barely punished at all, even on higher difficulties. - Combat is generally quite easy to cheese, you can easily retreat and heal, if you min/max and buy optimal upgrade paths this becomes even more of an issue. - Fights involving large amounts of enemies quickly become tiresome, forcing you to constantly move while making small jabs at the horde of enemies on your tail. - Bugs such as large quest enemies glitching through the floor and forcing you to restart the mission, and enemies that just get confused if you leave their patrol area (both occur rarely) disrupt gameplay. Story/Characters: - Worse than the original, which had unexpectedly good writing. - Most characters aren't likeable or interesting, Kamiko is annoying and Lo Wang tries too hard to be funny, although managed to make me chuckle a few times. + You can skip dialogue and cutscenes which is great for when you just want to kill stuff. Graphics: + You can play at higher settings even on a modest rig, effects like Bloom and Chromatic Abberation can be disabled if you dislike them, visuals are colourful and not plagued by ugly filters like many other games, overall very good looking. + Combat visuals are visceral and satisfying. - Some bugs such as rain inside building, trees poking through buildings, gaping holes into the void and random freezes. Overall a solid 7/10.
