Gameplay is decent. Graphics amazing. Story had some high points and great moments but in its totality LOU2 had way too much story and tried too hard to fit backstories and narratives that were too much too soon. Looks like it was a complete set up for LOU3.
Too much Storytelling crammed Into this game that ended up making it repetitive and tedious toward the end. So much so I stopped playing and YouTubed the last 30min worth of cutscenes because I got bored of getting supplies and killing infected over and over.
