I really don't know how people can say the 2nd game is better.

They streamlined it, simplified it, bloated with filler, the open world sections are boring, the linear and stealth sections aren't well designed. There's no tension like the first game. In the TEW2 enemies stop chasing you after about 4 seconds. They'll see you, chase you and then give up even if you haven't broken line of sight. It's really bad.
There's no risk vs reward element, it's just kind of generic and bland and far too easy.
The story is horrible as well. Cliche and cheesy in a bad way. Not that TEW1 had a genius plot but it respected your intelligence enough to let you piece of evidence together to come up to the conclusion of what's going on.
