My only grievence with this game is that the companion quests were terribly underwhelming. But the story itself is more focused, the quests are memorable and it doesn't feel like something I've seen countless times thanks to the setting. There's a lot to love about PoE2 - the combat system, the humor, the conflicts, the relationships between NPCs feel more tangible. I had a lot of trouble roleplaying my character in the first game, in this one it really felt like I was a part of the world. + pet birb!!!!
I think the prologue and ACT1 were so masterfully crafted that with Obsidian's budget I was bound to be disappointed by the rest. I was in love with game up until the middle of ACT2, then I just... got bored. It's feels too short, but not as much as the players make it out to be - only ACT3 is offensively disappointing. +fantastic, original premise you've never seen before +great worldbuilding +diverse cast of characters (I didn't feel attatched to any of them, though) +team attacts! I need some more of that in other games +spells crafting aka the only crafting I can stand +prologue choices actually MATTER -none of the quests past ACT1 really stood out to me -felt surprisingly linear in many aspects (why won't you love me, Hegemon? I just wanna serve you!) -didn't make me feel badass, most of the time I wasn't even allowed to go full Satan -several game-breaking bugs (damn towers!) -boring puzzles -towers were pretty useless
Even if you don't like Telltale (like me) and their storytelling, this one is worth it. Great humor, very borderlands. Recommended.
