As the second game in the series that I really sunk my time into, it's just leagues better than it's predecessor. This game also isn't cheap or unfair in the way it challenges players.

Everything is a challenge that can be defeated with good fundamentals and game sense. The story is hidden and really only for those who are paying attention to why any of this matters.

Alternate endings are easy to miss and a couple of play throughs is mandatory if you wish to engage in PVP.

Half a star is getting dropped for Twink Builds (Smufs 2.0), connection issues and tiny bits of jank in the online components.
