Story - Best I've seen in a game. I was run through the emotional gambit. From being filled with rage, resentment, sorrow, indifference, happiness and regret. Solid story telling. Some say it jumps around a bit, but the flashbacks add a needed human element at the time and I think it's done well
Gameplay - far superior to the first installment and very smooth.
Overall just an exceptional game. It plays out like a movie that I can control and I love it. No game has hit me in the feels like this one. I'm on my 3rd playthrough now and I'm still catching things that I missed the first 2 times. I'll most likely be playing it a 4th time after this.
