  I genuinely tried to like the second game but the characters were so cringey that I just couldn’t make it past the first missions.

    I think I was just happy to see a cast of characters with some energy and personality, so I wasn't too bothered by the cringe, the whole thing was so overly corny and light in tone that my brain just registered it as straight camp and went from there

      Pretty much. But it works.

      I mean Wrench is probably the best supporting character in any of those games (and I haven’t even played Legion).

  The map and gameplay of WD2 are great, but I absolutely hated the story-gameplay dissonance. “Oh, we are just a bunch of nice, happy hacker kids, we want to get more social media followers… Let’s murder half of the San Francisco police force and literally thousands of criminals”. I am aware the game has non-lethal options, but they make playing much more of a slog and unlike WD1, this game does nothing to encourage using them. Ubisoft removed the morality system because everybody hated it in the first game, but ironically it would have fit much better in WD2 imo.

    I remember taser being a significantly better weapon than everything else? It one shots enemies on the body and doesn’t make noise.
