Oh boy. I wanted this game to be better than the first so bad, and after finishing it, I convince myself that it was. But now, I don’t think so. There’s just too many problems that I have with it to justify it. The story is shorter, there’s less to do in the world, which is crazy since they made the map bigger, but they didn’t add more things to do in it. The swinging and combat are definitely better and if I do just want to sit down and swing around the city, I’ll boot up this one over the others. This is unfortunately a 3/4 baked game, and it rears its ugly head in the third act, where the story just arguably matters the most, and they fumble it hard. There’s still good moments don’t get me wrong, but the pacing, the writing, everything takes a nose dive, it’s crazy. There’s obviously so much that was left on the cutting room floor, they should’ve delayed it another 6 months and it would’ve been perfect. There’s also so many features missing on launch, that have been added now in the recent update, but, having those features not be added with the base game, when they’re in the other two games is so fucking wild it’s unbelievable. The game is still good, it has a lot of highs, but some big lows that just bring it down past the first one for me.
