I loved the reboot; the gameplay felt solid and un-glitchy during essential climbing and the story was fun. The second game felt larger and the story really drew me in.
I am almost finished with this game, and it feels like the Diet Coke of the second game. The levels feel more linear, the hubs feel like a rehash of the last game's hubs. The story is OK, and feels like it could have been more exciting with more refinement. But the stealth mechanics, especially toward the end, feel too forced.
