As good as the first one
A worthy follow-up to the first game. Adds depth to the lore and gameplay while still retaining the things that were good about the first game.
PRO:
- Rich, detailed fantasy universe
- Tough but fair strategic battles
- Great music
- Good plot and characters
CON:
- Like the first game, there's very little animation or voice acting
- Some powers/skills/terms need clearer explanation
- 15-20 second loading screens before every battle, dialogue, cut scene, or even just moving between menus
