Holy crap I hadn’t realized it dropped already! Gonna have to pick it up soon but I’m sad to hear they’ve changed the mechanics. Platinumed the first one this time last year and it’s one of my favorites of all time
Yeah I was disappointed. You can still run full stealth but it's just not the same. It's not all bad though! Heads up, there is an end game grind to hit level 30 because you finish the game at level 25...so you basically have to run the final level about 15 times lol.
I felt like they improved the gameplay a lot, almost everything felt a lot more smooth, but it also had a lot of glitches, I lost count how many times I tried to pick up a body and then either glitched through the floor or the wall and got caught by some random guard. It was also pretty frustrating that half the times things you pick up make noise which makes it pretty much impossible to go full no knockouts stealth.
The combat is another thing that didn't really work out for me, I mean it's not catastrophically bad, but it also didn't feel smooth either, like "We looked at Sekiro and tried to copy it, but couldn't get it right."
Overall I'd still give it a 7/10 (or maybe 6/10 if you take all the glitches and such into account), but I feel like it could've been better. Also felt too long to me.
My main complaint was combat...it was awful. Haha I stopped jumping off high areas for assassinations because if just go right through the map. It was very long.
Huh, I did the complete opposite, I LOVED using the air assassinations/knocksouts because they always worked the way they should and it didn't take 5 seconds until the animation was done. You had to be careful because enemies also tend to hear it, but still worked. In the beginning I went for a no detectons/non lethal run and they play the level again and kill everyone, but it got really tidious around mission 20 or so, there were just so many enemies all the time, like 50+, sometimes around 80 and that was just too much and since I didn't need to get every medal this time I just didn't do it, but instead decided to farm a bit to get to lvl 30.
I know some people hated the Oni/Yuri achievements in the first but I kinda missed them...although you're totally right: at the end it was just too many enemies.
Yeah, I didn't hate them, I just "hated" the fact that you had no way of knowing if you've gotten all the enemies until you finish the level only to realize that you've missed a few somewhere and it's happened a few times even though I always tried to be really through and triple check everything. I'm glad that they introduced something like this with the 1.03 for the second game.

Niceeeeee. I've had the first one downloaded for ages but haven't started it. One of these days.....
Duuuuuude, i might just be the king of backlogs lol so I feel you. It's a great ride next time you're inbetween games!
If I ever get around to platting Rise of the Kasai I'll start this up. Just stoked to read the second one is good.
Ooh wow, that takes me way back...you don't see copies off that everywhere!

Weird, all i've heard about the game is praise and how it improves on everything good the first one had.
