Honestly, i'm very disappointed.
Combat, story and progression felt much worse than The Stick of Truth. Plus, I faced a lot of bugs during the ENTIRE duration of the game, every time I entered ANY battle, every character would stay still for a good 10 seconds before anyone took action and i got softlocked because of the charm mechanic three times, making me reset the game.
I didn't like how the progression system NEVER makes you feel more powerful, it only makes you "scale" to the enemies's power points and that's about it. I never felt weak or strong in any battle, they all felt alike and lasted pretty much the same. Boss fights are okay, but they make you fight the kids way too many times and the final battle is really boring.
The story has good moments, but the time between them is just very long and tedious, a huge cause of this is the awkward positions of fast travel points around town, it makes you walk around for quite a long time through places you already collected everything, making it just a chore to walk huge distances to get to a mission point.
Story felt kinda weak to me, the scale of thing in the first game felt bigger and more impactful. You also don't see a lot of interesting places in this game, compared to the ones in The Stick of Truth.
Overall, I did enjoy it in some points, but it mostly feels like a downgrade from the first game.
