      There's not as much time for nuanced analysis, which I kinda miss, but that's not typically the escapist's bag so 🤷‍♂️.

    shuriken being a core ability now instead of having a frankly insane cooldown, as well as being able to block shots instead of being parry only, really make this game feel much more badass than the first

    The designs of the other characters really do need better work to make em a lil more distant and better facial animation
