Graphically stunning game, easily one of the best looking games of all time - even in 60fps mode on PS5. Incredible!
As an evolution of the first game, which I liked a lot, this one floundered slightly for me. I like a sequel that focuses on what made the first game good, and tightens up that experience while removing/improving elements that were criticized. Instead this game is just... more of everything. More items, more skills, more machines, etc. It just feels bloated to me, like no one aspect of the gameplay received enough polish to really be satisfying.
