I won't recommend this,
I'm not sure where to start but, aside from story (which I don't really care because I don't play the first game), everything else are very hard to enjoy and feels like chores than fun, The battle is too clunky for my taste and the mechanic is annoying AF. Really, the controls is just horrible, especially when fighting short or flying enemies, ugh... I really really hate it. And if the fighting aspect of this game is super bad, what can it offer? the leveling or RPG element is half ass and insignificant, exploration is not fun at all because we can't save anywhere we like and no place to recover health, stamina or special skill except from items and they're depleted too fast! I know this is old game but that's no excuse for the lack of common sense in here, so I advice to stay away.
