Its very pretty but these games suck. Boring narrative, watered down by needless open world shit, uninspired crafting, platforming that is straight up not good, and why the FUCK is everything so hard to see? Its gorgeous, but its sensory overload. There are so many effects and splashes of color they forgot to make the game fuckin readable.
I thought it was good after I turned the difficulty down to easy. I finished 2 playthroughs of the original on ultra-hard, so I dunno why but the combat was just not fun at all.
Not sure why you had trouble seeing things, I thought everything was pretty clear, only 1 or 2 times where I got lost on where to go next.
Honestly I went in hoping for more of the first game which is probably why I ended up disappointed in some aspects.
