A much better story, soundtrack and visuals. The combo counter and S rank are a nice touch.
However the gameplay is honestly worse in this sequel. Enemies can shoot you from across the map in these very open areas and there is less variety in how you can successfully approach a situation. A lot of the time you will be peaking from cover in order to bait enemies over to you. Situations like these make levels such as "Dead Hard" an absolute nightmare. The lack of masks also reduce the variety in how you can approach a level. All that said, there can still be fun moments in this game and the story is really good once you unpack it all.
