Thought when I started playing that what I was playing was like an intro and then I'd get to my Estate after the first sequence and get the great experience of levelling it like the first game. Then I realized...everything that was fun and felt like progression in the first game was completely scrapped for this one. Visually? It's great. In terms of gameplay though? It's terrible and boring. Basically imagine you get a single adventure on the first game, go as far as you can, die. Restart, without any real progress to characters, just not fun.
