Boring is obviously in the eye of the beholder, but the first episodes tend to be a tad slower in the pacing department is because it is necessary for world-building and establishing characters, even in licensed games.

I suppose. It's just, I wish they just had some kind of recap mechanism.

Shadow Warrior 2 (PC) is done. And Holy shit its terrible. On paper it sounds great. It's Borderlands with ninjas, cyberpunk, and demons. But the system is broken as shit. A third of the way I found a rare sword that I just never let go of until finding the plot sword which was the only thing stronger. The sword abilities that cost mana in the last game cost NOTHING in this game and so its very easy to just spam them over and over.

In addition, you also have infinite stamina for dashing, double jumping, and running, essentially making this game a boon for speedrunners, but not someone who expects the followup to the excellent reboot that was the first game. There are missions where I just breeze through the objective slashing things with my infinite sword skills and it felt more boring than your usual Ubisoft game. The writing has also suffered imo. Good job retconning and refastening the plot from the first game however, whereas in the first game every piece of dialogue was informative in some way, in here it was just to make Lo Wang an edgy immature asstard.

First Wolfenstein now this. What other crappy sequels to awesome games will I play next
