Aggressively one-note and defiantly ugly. Nothing but vicious, brutal, primal combat. Feels like being in a fucking war.

There is a surprising focus on the non-story (Actual cutscenes! Your character has a name!), as well as some semi-nonlinear exploration and backtracking to previous levels, but none of it really works.

What a weird direction to go after the first one. But you've gotta hand it to them -- they certainly committed!
