It's been a month now. Thought about it more.

As a game, it's brilliant to playthrough that first time. Gameplay is tight, the story hits you hard and the surprises come out of nowhere. It's just so... Dark. It's grim. While the original was full of feel good moments despite having it's fair share of tragedy, this one is just wall to wall depression and pain with a little feelgood sprinkled between that first 50% of the game. It seems to last forever and it's a real slog to play through a second time.

With no multiplayer, the game itself being tough to replay, a huge divisive twist and no real happy ending... Legs will probably be cut quite quickly. The inevitable PS5 version will undoubtedly have better legs when it launches with updates and multiplayer, but this one wont have anywhere near the same impact as the original.

Very true, likely the best game I ever had when considered as a full package for a first play, but hard to do a second gameplay without a considerable time between.
