oh yeah I dunno if I mentioned but I completed NOLF2.
it's...

...I mean gameplay wise it's good, it's got some good mechanics, but it's poorly executed. It purports to be a stealth game but the problem is you are actively punished by its systems for not killing anybody and just knocking them out. They just get back up again once they wake up and go into alert mode, rearming themselves magically, then breaking patrol routes and making levels take FOREVER to navigate.
also the stat levelling system is punishing. It costs a lot of points to level up, you won't earn enough points to max out everything so you have to choose carefully what to level, and you move and hide and act so slowly at the start it's nigh impossible to not be detected even on easy.
Oh and it's also pretty racist at several points. :/ The entirety of the India section. holy fuck.
@Nine yeah by leaning heavily on 60s spy film tropes it just kind of unquestioningly imports a bunch of racism
1 does this as well, the entire Morocco segment is a bit... hooboy
@theoutrider Oh jeez it's been so long since I played the first one I'd forgotten. yeah. yikes. I mean on one hand it challenges sexism nicely in the first one, but then it just... uuuughhhh.
