What I did like:
The improvements over the first game. I cannot even explain how SATISFYING it is to use stealth now, or even a mixture of stealth and combat if you want. Combat is far more fleshed out and each scenario has a number of different approaches that make this game VERY satisfying to play.
The narrative. Excellent performances by those involved and a good, (mostly) well-written and fleshed out story. However-
What I didn't like:
The pacing. I believe one critic said that the game would be perfect if not for being 5 hours too long, and I'm inclined to agree. I understand why they chose to structure the dual narratives the way they did, but personally I found it jarring and by the end I wasn't really invested in either story and just wanted it to end.
What I will say though is there are some great moments and this game is well, well worth the money.
