Loved the first one so the sequel had a lot to live up to. It does and it doesn't. The actual core gameplay, running, jumping, parkouring, smashing some zombies brains out is a hell of a lot of fun. The added paraglider, specially once you fully upgrade it is a blast to whip around on. Once you move past that fun core gameplay though and get into the story, repetitive who gives a shit fetch quests and motivations for the main character it sorta falls apart. Aiden is a very stock/generic main character. Looting everything and anything not even knowing what the hell your grabbing 3/4 of the time has just become such a chore in video games. Don't even get me started on the soul sucking lock picking mini game your forced to play over and over again in the 60 hours it took me to beat this hefty boy. Even though its not as good as the brilliant original I still had quite a bit of fun with this and ill be looking forward to the dlc that they have coming down the pike.
