It is so rare to see a sequel absolutely outshine everything that came before it.
What I really love most about this game though, is the music. It is so serene and unique. It doesn't always fit the environment, but that might of actually added to the fun.
Gameplay (9/10):
+Fast and responsive combat
+Leveling up and 2 skill trees
+Constant influx of loot
+Side quests and exploration
+Lots of puzzles
-which are WAYYYY too easy
+Secret bosses
+Fun platforming sections
+Decent story with interesting characters
-Some glitches here and there
-There is a third person shooting part (on earth) in this game which is atrocious (but it's fairly short)
-No real challenge to be found on normal
Graphics (7/10):
+Sweet art design
+Cool looking loot
+Diverse environments
-Color filters look blatant and unprofessional (what happened to using real lighting?)
-Some weak textures
-Game tends to stutter and has very limited graphical options (obvious port)
Sound (10/10):
+Like I said, AMAZING music! (turn that **** up)
+Great voice acting
+Decent writing
+Combat sounds crunchy
Value (8/10):
+Decent length at about 30 hours
+New game plus with an increased level cap
+Lot's of secrets and side quests
-could have been longer
-too many DLCs, I suspect most of this stuff was in the game in the first place
+But there are some decent length DLCs with new loot if you wish to make extra purchases
If you tried the first game and found it to be boring and generic, do not hesitate to try this one. One of the best games of the year for sure.
