Spoiler-free thoughts after 50ish hours. (Gaming)

I can't really comment much on the story until I finish it, but so far I do find it pretty lacking. It's certainly more straight forward, but that's mostly because I feel like there actually isn't much of a story happening so far. Higgs has shown up a couple of times, but doesn't really have anything to say or do and it honestly doesn't feel all that relevant. The actual thing I would have expected the game to be about after how the Mexico section ended is almost entirely unremarked upon. It just does not feel like anything is actually happening. There were definitely some stretches of the first where there wasn't much story momentum, and maybe it just felt better because it was all new so every tidbit that I got about that universe felt like it was driving things forward more. DS2 just feels sort of aimless in that regard so far.

It is extremely end loaded. The final few chapters are torrents of story.
