I’m late to the party. I read the bad reviews before buying the it. Still got it for how much I enjoyed the first. I will never understand the bad reviews it has received. I advise you to play the first game before this but I can easily say even if you didn’t you would love part 2. The most complete sequel I’ve ever played and more. Though I hope they follow up with 3 its hard to imagine topping this. Not going to leave any spoilers but this game is now an all time best/favorite. Apparently not for everyone but I had a blast. What a game
