No idea where all the hate for this game is coming from. From every conceivable angle this is a much improved game over the first. Yes the charming pixel aesthetic has been replaced with a freak sharp art style. Maybe not as stylistic but still gorgeous. I will admit the levels look a little bit busy sometimes, but that’s pretty normal with a graphics upgrade like this. It doesn’t take long to adjust to it.

The powers of each of the thieves are much improved over the first game and each thief’s power seems much better balanced against the others. These powers are also much better suited towards coop play, where the game really shines. Speaking of which, split screen is now a thing, meaning you can both go off on your own adventures.

A fully voice acted cast comes in to tell the story for lively looking comic book style cutscenes and keeps the gameplay entertaining with funny situational quips.

The game’s level and enemy design also feels quite a bit more forgiving than before, allowing you to recover easier if you make a mistake (usually the bane of stealth games).

All in all, I think it’s a pretty good game and feel very comfortable recommending it. Plus if it’s anything like the first game you can look forward to years of updates and improvements along with free content drops.

Certified banger.
