What players say

Players are split on this sequel. Some admire its memorable ending and expanded cast, while many complain about larger levels where enemies shoot from offscreen and a finicky hitbox system that makes fights feel unfair. The difficulty is widely seen as cranked up, often at the expense of the tight design that made the first game a classic.
