Just WOW! Warhorse really stepped their game up - a lot. Was following this studio since 2016 and played the first game on release. Very much enjoyed it, considering everything around the game itself - the budget, engine, storyline, optimisation on the consoles, the last which changes and upgraded amazingly throughout the first years of release. Now, the second game. Was highly anticipating for this one. And what do I have to say? Pan Vavra and Czechs did it again and much better than anyone could expect. EVERYTHING changed and was upgraded yet it feels true to the first game as a continuation. Visually stunning on the consoles, optimised carefully and amazingly (which is extremely rare in the game industry nearly a dozen years), an amazing product since the beginning. Can't stop playing it, reading the codex, enjoying the dialogues, exploring, trading, hunting and fighting. GOTY for me to conclude.
Definitely it has everything I had searched in a game in such a setting and genre! The stunning visuals and ability of making the combat look cinematic is so good. GOTY for me!
The story and franchise potential is absolutely destroyed. I have finished the game recently, and if you think that the main game is terribly dumped into bottomless pit alongside with all the hopes and love for the franchise - wait until you'll finish the game. The ending is terrible and absolutely demolish everything you loved in the first game. Gameplay is boring and dim after a while (was playing on high difficulty), AI is stupid and the only challenge is the ammo. Visually - the game is okay, but nothing special. Sorry that it have come to this.
