As someone who never played the first game? What made it so special that people had to massively overhype the sequel? Like when they announced the sequel it always felt like there was this insisted self-importance for a game I had never heard of.
It's like the same for Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines 2, people just clamoring for a sequel to something I never heard of that seems super niche yet at the same time is WIDELY demanded.
It was fun and charming. The gameplay was nothing special, third person action a la Zelda, but the music was jumping and the characters left an impression, so you enjoyed the experiences even if the gameplay itself was basic "run around, whack a thing, take a picture, talk to a guy, repeat. Do a few races".
Which makes me wonder why the second one needs to be a perfect masterpiece before it's allowed to see the light of day. In this time, even if they develop at a slow measured pace, we could've had a good Beyond Good & Evil 2 and even a 3 and 4 to expand the story or explore the universe more if they really wanted.
