I commented about the first game on my previous post, and while I did have a good time with it there were some pretty annoying flaws as well.
The second game fixes most of my complaints - platforming feels better, plus you get some of the relevant movement skills earlier which also helps improve the experience when exploring. Combat is pretty decent this time, and the game also includes plenty of customization with a lot of attack and passive skills for you to choose from.
I get that this comes at a cost of the game feeling a bit less “unique”, but I’m definitely having more fun with one.
