Level design is quite a bit different compared to the original same can be said for how the story and characters are handled, the duology definitely feels like a combined saga imo, sorta like a part 1 and a part 2 of the same film if you get what I mean.
The gameplay definitely requires a different sort of approach and some more patience planning with slower gameplay than hm1 but imo its a nice difference between, sometimes the level design is genuinely bad tho(the nightclub level in particular) but other than that, the gameplay is pretty good in general, depending on how much tolerance for this stuff, and the game is worth playing for the story too.
A interesting follow-up to the original, but its not just a sequel, but a prequel and a requel? as well. The ending twist was definitely a surprise haha. The game also has surprisingly a lot to say, and expresses its themes and messages better than the first imo, although there's a certain charm to how hm1 handles it as well.
