Really should be two and a half, but I'll round up. While the story and acting were both very well done, making the entire game a constant jump puzzle started wearing thin for me, and the contact physics on said puzzles were often frustrating. The combat was improved over the first game but none of the fights felt noteworthy, even though some were very cinematic. In short, the gameplay felt very lackluster, and got in the way of the story a great deal.

I love tabletop Werewolf, and I was excited to finally see a video game adaptation. The lore is there, and it's clear the studio knows the material. I won't ding them too heavily for graphics- they're alright, and good for a smaller outfit. However, the utter lack of RPG elements aside from a little character progression is disappointing, and the combat/stealth elements are really repetitive. There's a lot of potential from the Werewolf franchise and I hope that this game serves as a springboard to the kind of game I know it could be; this initial offering is lackluster, and if I'm being honest it's coasting on my tremendous nostalgia.
