The game is borderline a walking simulator, with so many parts that you only need to hold W that makes you wonder why it wasn't just a cutscene. Sidepaths are just barely a few meters in length, making even Tomb Raider's (2013) small cave exploration look good. Side path lore that you really have no interest in listening to.
Puzzles that are extremely simple and tedious. Combat more basic than the first game, but just enough that it makes this not a complete walking sim. Boss battles are just repeating the same simple action over and over. Last boss battle forces you to extend it just to get story out.
I wanted this game to be over way before I got to the end. There's no reason this game should have been made, there's no story that needed to continue or be told after the first game.
