Good sequel, but the storytelling could be a BIT less convoluted. Saga's mind place should be a little more automatized, since it adds little to the gameplay experience and in the end, just repeats what we see by playing the game. There's no feeling of satisfaction in 'deducting' the scenes, so it feels a little dull.

Combat is good in her parts, but Alan's chapters are kinda confusing. The whole 'scene change' gimmick didn't hit as good as Remedy expected to, leaving the player without knowing what plot should he use in each scene -- or if he should try every available plot in his disposal.

The ending is anti-climatic to say the least, and the real final boss fight is earlier in the game, since the ending is just more investigation and a final cutscene.

I'm leaning towards the thought that the story should've had a concrete ending, and leaving it open for a Part 3 doesn't seem very wise and not really honest toward an audience that already waited 13 years for the sequel.

I enjoyed for what it was, and there are plenty of good moments. A solid 7/10.
