It's like the first game but worse. Combat is stiffer, the world is larger yet emptier, story literally makes no sense (why is Father-Mother suddenly our ally when they were the antagonist of the last game?) Zeno Clash 1 was originally going to be a RPG instead of the 3 hour linear beat 'em up we got in the end. Because of time and money constraints, Zeno Clash 1 was cut down, which is a good thing. I would rather play the first game than this bloated sequel.
