When you're in the flow, this game really nails it. Clearing a tough room utilizing the hyper precise platforming and combat leaves you feeling like the next coming of John Wick. The issue with this game is all the rest of it: the cybervoid puzzle levels continue to be an utterly unfun interruption. Not sure we really needed so much... talking. The bike levels are interesting but extremely jank. Ironically, I wish the roguelike mode was the actual game. No one is playing this series for cutscenes or puzzles. I was really hoping GR2 would focus the series and give us a ton of combat and platforming challenges with zero down time. Instead they went in the complete opposite direction and while it's definitely good, it's just not what I was hoping for personally.
