A decent continuation from the first episode. The combat remains entertaining and strategically interesting, and I really enjoyed some of the new abilities and "twists" present in some encounters. It continues to be interesting to learn more about the world and each step forward continues to feel full of danger. The story was fine - it feels a bit less grounded than the first episode (leaning harder into fantasy with the Valka/Menders), but mostly suffers from being a "middle episode". Progress is made and there is somewhat of a climax at the end, but it ends up feeling more like a cliffhanger than anything being meaningfully resolved.
