That being said, not every change is welcome. There are fewer locations, characters and missions this time around. Also, a lot of them revolve around fighting waves of heavily armored enemies and interacting with the environment so the strategies that work can get a bit repetitive.
I would recommend Blackguards 2 to anyone who enjoyed the first game and wants more open ended gameplay and closure for the party. I also suggest saving often because the game is a bit unpolished.
