The user reviews looked pretty bad, but then the first one I read was literally a chud just complaining about "gay leftist agenda" in the game, which I'm more than happy with. But is the game itself actually mediocre compared to the first like people are saying?
Its a very good game. Mechanics wise, it is essentially just an updated version of the first - the obvious evolution.
Personally I loved the story. It does kind of boil down to "revenge and killing are bad" but it presents the idea in a way far, faaaaaaaar more effective than any other narrative I've seen that attempts to present the same theme.
