Zzzzzzzz.....zzzzzz......

The core gameplay is largely the same as the previous installment, which on it's own is fine, but in context with change of setting and some odd additions to the gameplay loop, just serves to remind you of how much more enjoyable the first one was. Falls into the usual trap of having a leveling system and skill trees full of near-useless shit, purely so they can gate areas off and keep you picking up new weapons and gear, prolonging the experience just a little bit more and keeping in line with the usual 'content overload' style of making open-world games. The addition of stealth is also - as you can imagine in a game about parkour and killing things - exceeding boring, and seems only to serve to extend your playtime just that little bit more. Slightly more interesting is the ability for the player to make 'meaningful' choices in the story, which despite actually having an effect on the ending and the fate of certain characters, the story and characters themselves are just so sauceless I can't bring myself to care - and what the fuck is Rosario Dawson doing in this?

Just replay the first one.
