A bit of a letdown compared to the first game. The game is on a worse engine compared to the first, and it's too easy outside of some psychopath fights. Survivors have had their AI and health improved (you only need one), and combo weapons, while cool, are so overtuned compared to non-combo weapons. The point of the first game was you could use anything you saw, and this game has nerfed those weapons into the dirt. The game was developed by a different, western studio supervised by the originals, and it clearly shows: they had an appreciation for the first game, but really didn't get all the nuances of it. And that rot would show as they got more and more control of the franchise.
