So I've only played a couple of hours, I only just started chapter 3, where the game opens up. I'm not sure that I like the "open world" direction of the game. I absolutely loved the first game, but my initial reaction to chapter 3 is that it's a bit bland? I guess I preferred the more directed game structure of the first. I also think the game "feels" a bit janky. I know it's early hours, but combat just doesn't feel great so far. Tomorrow I have a day off so I can really dig in. Hopefully the game manages to grab me after a bit more time.
