A monumental, open-world adventure that builds on the strengths of the first game by fleshing out and deepening the dynamics between all of the characters, both "good" and "bad". The emotional punches and compelling portrayals of beautiful masculinity make the substance of the journey even more engaging than its predecessor, offering themes that are universally applicable to our lives as the audience. While the combat and other technical gameplay elements feel pretty similar to the first, the new story and dressing make the long runtime worth your while. Such a banger!
