The verdict
A fun, chaotic open-world power fantasy with better combat than the first game, but the PC port is broken on modern hardware and the writing is weak. Skip it if you won't tinker with fan patches.
Great for
Fans of chaotic, superpowered open-world carnage who don't mind installing community fixes
Main risk
Crashes or won't launch on modern PCs even with mods, and the story is weak
