 * 21) * The PC version contains more additional DLC packs and missions.
 * 22) Speaking of which, the PC is much improved over the console versions with faster loading times, better lighting and a lack of framerate stutter.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The main story is generic and becomes completely unfocused throughout.
 * 2) Since there's so many side-quests, the game could become repetitive at times.
 * 3) The main character almost feels one dimensional as he always speaks in a monotone voice.
 * 4) Really clunky controls as running, sneaking and blocking are all used by the same input.
 * 5) *The combat animation also looks awkward.
 * 6) Lackluster boss fights like Sordahon.
 * 7) Some instances of stuttering and screen tearing. The PC version fixes some of those issues.
 * 8) Occasional bugs and glitches like enemies glitching out and your main character warping back and fourth.
 * 9) Character models look really bad, with some of the NPCs in particularly looking like they had unfinished faces.
 * 10) Very average voice acting, though much more tolerable than the first game's.
 * 11) Disappointing ending that throws in a ton of plot twists and plot holes.
 * 12) The game was updated with microtransactions in 2017, clearly showing that TopWare Interactive wants to milk the game as much as possible.
