Played about 6hrs combat and visuals are great but characters are boring/annoying and story isn’t interesting

I really enjoyed this game and I think it improves a lot on the first game. The gameplay and combat feels great and I love exploring the bigger planets now with lots of side quests. The story is really good as well and the characters are great. The performance is bad at times and really hurts the game overall. It's mainly the cutscenes at least other then one spot on a planet that was really bad. Overall great game and recommended!
