Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
100 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's a pretty good game, I'd definitely rank it above the original in terms of gameplay, The skateboard really does feel like the ingredient that was missing from the combat and gives this game an identity that feels wholly original.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
68 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
New guns, fresh story with ties to HoL, and incredible design from a UI/effects POV.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
45 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The art style pops, the lighting is clean, and the worlds feel more alive than in the first game.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
40 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Movement feels better, combat feels tighter, and the addition of the skateboard is a surprisingly fun upgrade.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
In addition, the OST is great thanks to TOBACCO (also did the first games OST as well).
