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.

The most divisive mainline entry: it opens with hours of orphanage caretaking before the crime plot starts, which is either the heart of the game or a wall depending on who you ask. Okinawa is a welcome change of scene. Combat added enemy blocking that many find frustrating, and the pacing never fully recovers.
