I eventually decided to give it another go at the start of May, as I hear how the story gets better often, and it 100% has!

Like, dude, that's your f#cking problem that you don't have the brains to include the content that was already in the original game, In other words, they simply copied the dialogues, updated the graphics, slapped on a $70 price tag plus $35 for DLC that was already in the original game.

Music is fantastic, not only the reused soundtrack, but also its new tracks are particular stand outs.

- This game was obviously designed with touch in mind, so controller support is spotty at best.
