You’re spot on about the goofy tone of the game. That being said I did find the game to be overall more memorable because of that. Also, many of the gameplay mechanics are more fun, if somewhat under explored. If you can tolerate the sheer over the top story then it really is a good step from the first game.
That makes sense. This one may miss the mark then . I’d be interested in seeing your reaction to the game as it progresses
