Suffers a bit from open world bloat but it at least doesn't throw it all at you at once (looking at you Cyberpunk 2077). Story got me emotional on more than one occasion but the ending still left a lot of things unclear, some things that'll no doubt be cleared up in the final game but others are just the usual Nomura fuckery. Combat is a definite improvement over Remake. Rufus fight still sucks ass though, wasn't very happy that they made us do that again. Still can't believe Chadley (who may as well have been elevated to main cast for most of the game) programmed a wife he could berate. Now to wait another 3-4 years for the final game of the trilogy.
