Hard to believe this game could be better than the first amazing game. But it was.

Admittedly at first I was not into this sequel, it has a slow start and feels just like DLC from the first game. But it quickly sheds that notion once you get into the wider world of exploration. There are challenges upon challenges and a huge open-world-esque location to explore late into the game, with terrific stat buff rewards.

But more than anything, this game has an amazing story that felt epic at all times. I truly cared about what happened to these characters like I was watching a movie, and wanted to see them succeed and shuttered at their failures. A late game twist was shocking, came out of left field, and totally changes the tone of the story in a moment.

Impressive that this game felt more like a film, I can see why Amazon wants to make it into a TV show.

Combat is tremendous, movement and pacing, use of space, level layout all top notch.

However, like the first game, this game is light on complex boss fights, I'd love to see that spruced up in a third game.
