story
67 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players criticizing it for being weak, uninspired, and poorly executed, often feeling repetitive and confusing. While some appreciate the engaging elements and character dynamics, others find the plot lacking depth and coherence, compounded by subpar voice acting and unclear mission objectives. Overall, the narrative fails to meet the expectations set by its predecessor, leaving players disappointed.
“I never played the original one, but this is a great game and should not have only 44 percent positive reviews (at the time of writing). The story is quite interesting, I have no problem with the gameplay; in fact, I think it fits perfectly.”
“Take on the role of up to six heroes, including the famous bounty hunter John Cooper, and experience a thrilling story with surprising turns.”
“Its engaging story, memorable characters, and challenging missions make it a must-play for fans of the genre.”
“Also, the story and levels feel uninspired.”
“Most of the time, it just wastes your time describing the current story events without providing you with the proper goals.”
“On top of that, many missions reuse the same locations (so you clear the whole map going from A to B, then start a new mission on the same map with all enemies respawned and go from B to A through C...), plot is very weak ('oh no, we fell into a trap, again', 'kiss me!') and the voice acting is beyond terrible... (voice actors are different than in the previous game, 90% of Doc's lines are just grunts).”
