Pretty much more of the same if you liked the first one. There's a lot of minor quality of life fixes, the ice jump power finally gives you a way to launch yourself into the air. The improved thrusters now make gliding more fluid and fun, and the combat feels better. The powers aren't as intrinsically exciting as the first game though because you've pretty much used all of them in the last game and have to regain them here.

The main strength of this one is that the story and characters are noticeably better. I really liked Zeke. The story feels more intentional and impactful and the main cast are all much better defined than in the first game. Cole is a little more abrasive in this one at certain points though. The map is also a little more interesting, with swamp areas, flooded areas, and unique architecture that makes it feel more interesting than the first one's pretty samey locale.
