It gets better and better as you progress through the game.
It's a sequel with gorgeous graphics, gameplay better than the first one (it's cool to see them continuing to be inspired by Naughty Dog and keeping up with the wide-linear settings of Uncharted 4 and The Last of Us 2), and an incredible collection of characters. All the characters who help the protagonists are distinct not only in gameplay but also in personality and motivations. Even with such a bleak scenario and story, it's amazing how they made so many lovable and interesting characters. Even the villains are detestable as they should be.
I particularly like that the game is longer but not by much. This allows time for the game to "breathe" and develop the supporting characters better, as well as showcase all its beauty. Rarely have I taken so many screenshots of a game and used the photo mode as much as I did with this game, and the entire battle-free arc of chapter 9 was quite enjoyable due to the variety of visually distinct places you visit.
With that said, it's even difficult to choose which set piece is the best since each one is better than the other. And it's hard not to become attached to the work done in developing Amicia. She's definitely one of the best protagonists in recent years, the kind of character you don't just control but root for to succeed. Which makes the end of the game even more special.
I really hope they're willing to make a third game after all, there is another outbreak of plague in human history, right? Or maybe some additional material about the sixth-century outbreak, which the game also shows.
And if they do come back with the idea one day, I hope they make even more progress in the quality of the battle settings, trying to avoid some of the jank the game has and avoiding scenarios with so many instant failstates. And have ideas for gameplay variety, perhaps a few more twists in the way the rats behave would be quite interesting...

really brave tho (if ykyk)

Good follow up. Rats, kids, etc. Less little children stinking the joint up this time around. More decent adults with good stories. Not quite getting the conversation around this one being a game of the year candidate. But it's good.
wanna play it
It starts off much weaker than the conclusion of the original. Throwing you into situations similar to the climax of the original, while lacking most of the tools. Once the game starts opening up, as you unlock more tools and abilities again, it shines much brighter than the original. The story struggles the same as well, intent on following the beats of the original, to spin off in very different directions that work great. Much improvement is shown to side characters as well.
Final major thing, music. Amazing use of Gregorian chants and strings to emphasis major moments.

Franquia dos meus jogos favoritos
O jogo melhorou tudo em relação do primeiro que já era bom. Não tenho muita experiência com jogos onde Stealth é a temática principal e não um elemento, mas eu adorei os dois jogos da série. Meus único problema foi algumas escolhas de game e leveldesing, mas foram bem poucas e eles melhoraram tanto que nem é justo ficar batendo nessa tecla.
Joguem quando tiver oportunidade, eu recebi os dois jogos pela PSPlus, mas sem dúvida pagaria uns 100 reais em cada fácil fácil.
