An improvement over the first game in pretty much every way, however much like the original by the end of the game the difficulty reached a level of more annoyance than challenge, throwing more enemies than you have ammo to deal with without grinding bolts to get more weapons, causing me to have to run back to the store in between checkpoints just to have enough ammo for the other half.

Also I don't know if it's because I took a significant break near the end or what but the story felt like it suddenly just ends, like it's building up, there's a final reveal and then you blink and it's the credits and final cutscenes
