Funnily enough, I enjoyed the first game more than this one. The combat is extremely fluid and the original pales in comparison to this game, but everything else felt lacking? I really enjoyed the dynamic between Leo and ADA in the first game, and I felt like there was ample breathing space in-between set pieces; whereas The Second Runner feels like set piece after set piece. The voice acting in the first game wasn't great, but they crank it up to awful on ZoE2, and I felt like I couldn't relate to the characters at all. Needless to say, the game was alright, but not one I'd play all the way through again.
