If you are willing to accept that the game will occasionally stutter regardless of your PC and how low you set the graphics settings, this is a pretty okay game.

Maybe I've just gotten better at this type of stuff since the first game, but it seems like this game has matured away from the souls-like obsession that plagued Fallen Order. I completed everything in this game on default difficulty with only a small amount of manageable rollslop BS. This game respected my time a lot more than the Fallen Order.

The game only crashed once in my 70 hours of playtime, and the stuttering was only really bad during a few points in the middle of the game, so it runs fairly well.

The story is okay, but not particularly deep or life-changing. The combat is fine most of the time if you're willing to parry a lot. Is this worth full retail price? Not at all. Buy it when it goes on sale for $20-$30 USD.
