A definite sequel but not necessarily a better one. While there are a few minor improvements to the gameplay, it abandons what people liked about the original for a more action adventure experience. The game has a much heavier focus on combat which is only slightly expanded from the first game and barely more functional. Encounters can feel extremely unfair in some cases. Other times it's a total crapshoot whether or not you make it out unscathed. My sentiment towards this game is about the same as its predecessor, but one would be better off playing that one versus this misguided sequel.
