The game lends a great first impression on the account of the visuals -- the highly detailed and carefully designed interiors feel lived in, and the gore is simply the best in video games. But progression feels stale; the game fails to introduce anything new or meaningful even a couple of hours in, rendering every encounter some form of mashing the attack button and occasionally dodging an attack. There are some extra mechanics -- such as using water and a source of electricity to electrocute zombies -- but the game never pushes you to use them. You loot endless amount of items but never find anything exciting, never feel that you've discovered something special.

It is largely the same shallow game as the predecessor except better looking.
