greatly improved gameplay from the first in my opinion, but the game, for me, went really down hill in the second area.

The dark timer was a really cool mechanic that i adored. I recommend playing with the timer off to make it much more immersive.
The second area was to open for me and it felt like it was either just moving up warns or jumping over cars and nothing else.
The story was also really really un interesting from the second area onwards.

overall i wish the story wasn't the main focus, and instead, they focused more on giving fun gameplay scenarios.
