I really wanted to like the original, because it is exactly the type of game that I like, and indeed the game was very beautiful. I just wish the story and the combat were more compelling. I hope they can improve on both those aspects in the sequel and deliver a good game.
And I am also glad it comes from a relatively small European studio, and I wish those people luck.
The story was alright for me, up until the twist for Henry I guess. That was pretty awful. Up until then I enjoyed his little arc, even if it did kinda lose the premise that you're a nobody. The combat on the other hand I actually enjoyed and was surprised when after I beat the game and googled some reviews that people were knocking it. The only issue I had was when there was like 5 guys on me, other than that I enjoyed it.
I'd expect the combat being the same, maybe more polished at best. Some systems are bound to be overcomplex with their aim for realism
