Enjoyed this one a little bit better than the first (couldn't get past level 2 again in the 360 version back in the day). It's a more linear experience but still fun as hell. Who would've thought something as simple as adding executions would give the gameplay an insane sense of fluidity in combat? May feel draggy but the story is fun and engaging, progression system is simple and it incentivizes experimenting with the wide array of weapons since now I realize everyone has an specific purpose and combining them in combat reaps its rewards.
