Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
93 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Tons of exposition, dialogue, banter, and solid writing - hard to complain, when this stuff is that good.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
27 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Ironically the port might be the best thing providing solid 60fps when the games Switch version had fps set to 15-20, but I heard a rumor that even this was originally a feat rather than a problem beyond repair - isn't that clever Zach???!?
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Just like in the previous game, the soundtrack is great, and this one also has a few "iconic" tracks (though nowhere near to the degree of the first one).
Crashes
Players who bring up Crashes mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
No crashes, no slow-downs, nothing here - as this game on both my RTX 3070-based desktop and RTX 3060-based laptop run at 60fps no problem.
