One of the very few games I can say that I definitively dislike. Graphically, beautiful. Music, amazing. Story? I don't remember much of it. Gameplay? Oh god when will this end.
The final boss was awful, I was underlevelled and it STILL couldn't kill me. Horribly balanced uninteresting gameplay, basically nothing from the first game made a return apart from the setting (and even then, very loosely). They didn't bother trying to improve on what they established for the first game at ALL. What a disappointment.
I don't think this is objectively a bad game, I just found myself thinking "when will this end" quite often while playing it. I kept playing since it's a sequel to one of my favourite games, but I'm not sure any other games have made me constantly think about stopping playing.
