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.
