Game mechanics do not vary from the first game. Not really an issue, as "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"
Graphics are pretty amazing. Great environments. Great acting. All 9/10
Story is awful. The only well written meaningful parts are certain flashback scenes. The majority of the games story is patchy, unmeaningful, and just plain bad. The idea of people disliking this game because of the sexuality of certain characters is insulting.
The story is trash. Everything else is solid.
5/10.
