great game
WL2 is a great game. Oldschool and entertaining.
I have to substract one point because the game was horribly un-polished upon release and the "Director's Cut"-Version was more likely the "Should have been like this from day 1"-Version.
But then again, it's a very large world with tons of detail. It's to be expected, that there are some raw edges here and there.
I have to substract another point because of the combat.
Really, this game is like ALL about combat. But the combat feels really stiff, compared to something like the new X-Com remake. Don't even compare WL2's combat to REAL turn-based combat like in Jagged Alliance 2. Sorry, but the combat in WL2 is uninspired and rather boring.
The most severe issue I have with this game is in the game-mechanics.
Really, the only thing that matters about your squad is the skills, your team has. There are some skills (opening stuff, disarming traps) that you HAVE to have. The game pretends to be playable in several ways, but in the end, it is not as flexible as it seems at first glance. The recruits you can find along the way may be fun with their different personalities, but you can only pay so much attentioin to this. You have to select them according to the skills they have, which is a sad thing.
In the end, WL2 is not really much of a true RPG in this regard.
Overall, I really enjoyed this game. I finished it twice (1x "normal", 1x "Director's Cut"). I like it very much, but, at the same time really, really wish, it was a better game.
