Really good, but I feel it could have been better. On harder difficulties the gameplay boils down to using 1 or 2 weapons and stealth mode. The game lets you keep your weapons from the previous section to the next one and preserves your ammo count. This is cool because it means I can keep using the guns I want, but also means the game has to account for me having any combination of guns and upgrades. This requires the difficulty to be scaled back and ammo drops scattered everywhere to ensure the player can't softlock the game. you will never run out of ammo and guns are absolutely everywhere. playing on the hardest difficulty i have entered a few arenas and the AI took care of every enemy on screen without my interaction. This kinda ruins the power fantasy the game strives for. Everyone around you speaks like you're the second coming but they get on fine without you doing anything. Still really fun, but I never felt like I was challenged or outmatched in any way. I also didn’t like the waypoints being so specific. In the first game you are pointed at a general location and have to find the objective. This game is much more linear and you can bee line it to the waypoint throughout the entire game. Also they have these really cool cloaked enemies but they are woefully under used in the game.

I really like the universe this game creates, but the player definitely feels less impactful then in the previous game.
