What players think

The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.

Why players love itThings to know
50% of themes are praise25% are divided25% are caveats
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The storyline is more coherent and characters are better developed, but it is also quite generic rather than making the most of the setup from the first game.
134 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Which is absurd, its more than 1st and 3rd Remastered games combined, Some say that this is the game with more assets and textures(that were upgraded to 4k quality), but textures alone cant take that much space.
97 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
They had the design down and a lot of the gameplay dialled in but their execution was sadly a flop.
95 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
When that happens game obviously starts to stutter, but in more linear levels, when game pulls less VRAM everything works perfectly with above 100FPS.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Gunplay + sound design.
42 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
Not because it was un-optimized, but but because it pushed even the most advanced PCs at the time with visuals and features no one had seen.
