This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It’s not necessarily a bad game, it’s a pretty decent Metroidvania, but it is not the same caliber as the first game. Unfortunately, this was a hugely disappointing game.

It brings a lot of cool improvements like the upgrade system. Even the map was a little confusing as far as where to go next, even with the compass. But beyond the beautiful presentation, it just felt like a very disorganized game that lost the spark that the original had. I am truly impressed with the design of the game and music. The graphics are excellent and the music is fantastic. The plot was fine, but much less interesting than the first game. It’s not bad for small segments of the game, but it made me dislike the combat pretty early on. The gameplay feels very off and not very well thought out, for example many of the enemies are flying drones and most of your weapons are melee, so you’re constantly trying to time jumps with attacks - all game long. Unfortunately, I think the mixed reviews are correct. I started seeing the mixed and negative reviews pop up thinking that people were probably just nitpicking because it wasn’t quite as good as the first. I started seeing the mixed and I was very much excited to play this game, as I was a huge fan of the first game, which was easily a 9/10. I was very much excited to play this game, as I was a huge fan of the first game, which was easily a 9/10. I'd recommend it if you really liked the first, but wouldn't suggest it to just anyone.

I had high hopes for this game after the first one (which I played several times through), but this one I may not even finish. You're given hints in the same fashion, but the first drew you in right away with the giant mysterious creatures and the absolutely bizarre environments. Perhaps worst of all, the story doesn't grab you nearly as well as the first game's did. In this, you get a limited selection of lackluster items and a skill tree to power them up. In the first game you were given a lot of fun toys, far more than you needed, that let you approach enemies in a huge number of ways. Mapping has gotten worse, the enemies are much less interesting, and most disappointing of all is the arsenal. It does borrow a lot from the first game, but it changes a lot too, and not necessarily for the better.
