✓ Both are looter shooters — sharing deep RPG systems, shooter and first-person shooting

≠ Where it differs: brings third-person shooting, survival mechanics and open world exploration, while skipping roguelike runs

Tighter than the first game: better enemy variety, more readable encounters, and a Washington that changes as factions take territory. The gunplay holds up over long sessions. The story is forgettable, and the gear system asks for a lot of inventory management — you will spend real time comparing marginal stat rolls between fights.
