Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Gameplay was fun though, I really liked the mix between semi-open World areas, curated environments and the more linear sections, it was blended well together.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
In the first game, for all its faults, there was a sense of mystery, coupled with the interesting visuals, you felt like a detective wondering into the unknown trying to figure things out, none of that here.
