Shorter and tighter than the game it follows: venom powers add real variation to combat, and a smaller winter New York with a more personal story avoids the padding of the original. Around eight hours. It reuses that map wholesale, and side activities are the same checklist the first game already exhausted.

Originally a handheld game, following Aveline through colonial Louisiana with a persona system that swaps her between three social identities to change who reacts to her. New Orleans and the premise are the interesting parts. It is short and visibly scaled down beside the console entries, the persona mechanic is more inconvenient than tactical, and the story thins out badly in its second half.
