This game definitely holds itself compared with he first game. And that is a huge, HUGE thing for me. I wanted some call backs or even to see a few characters from the first as some dope nostalgia and whatnot and this delivered in the best way! It's cool to see that items sent op from the start and need to be leveled up to be op which a lot of games either overdo or under do. I can't wait to see further updates and DLCs! Definitely playing this game again!!! (Bring back the buggysXD)
