    It’s a big improvement on every area, especially the bosses and levels.

    It’s the kind of game that makes it hard to go back to the original.

        The first game felt like a really cool tech demo with the occasional cool boss here and there.

        The sequel is that concept turned into a proper game. Each world now has it’s own mini-campaign that ends in a final boss with dialogue, minor choices and everything.

        The bosses are my favorite part though, the main ones are extremely creative and polished, especially the final one.

          The problem with the first (I haven’t played the second), was that it felt like a story game where you play through the story in one go, when it ultimately turned out to be an instance grinding game to get gear to progress.

          I went in expecting dark souls with guns, but got the weird love child of world of warcraft and dark souls with a reset button to progress.
