The most content of any entry, with raids, settlement building and a genuinely long saga across England. Combat is heavier and more brutal than the previous games. Length is the problem — well over a hundred hours, with arcs that repeat their structure region by region, and it asks for far more time than its ideas sustain.

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.
