Forgive Me Father 2 Is A Really Good sequel to the first game. The Art has an improvement over the first game when it comes to the level design and how it captures the aesthetics of the setting like the trenches, University, and into the underworld. The Game shows better pacing in the level design despite playing on expert mode and dying over and over to certain sections but there have been rare times where I felt the pace dragged and was able to move on at a reasonable pace. The Expert Mode actually feels harder and more rewarding to play since you can die in 2-4 hits depending on the enemy type and face a lot of frustration but you do get better when playing on harder so there is still a solid challenge. They really put a lot more to the story and can make active choices with a true or bad ending with the priest in his battle against evil where you want to forgive or justify his bad actions which makes the sequel more interesting.
There isn’t an upgrade system which I liked in the first game since there were options in the upgrade path and your weapons but this sequel changes everything where you choose only 3 Active Cards for your level playthrough and change your weapon variety depending on the type. This Game has a more focus on limiting you and making the best of what you have and choosing from weapons in a certain category of rifle, pistol, melee, launcher, and the other world and the variants have dope designs and all worked differently. The Cards give boosts to when you use your ultimate ability or passive buffs so have to choose which one you favor in your playstyle
The Enemy variety is really solid but there are all certain annoying sections where you barely have any space and they all hound you at once and in very small and cluttered areas and wish there was more space in certain sections. There are some carryovers from the first game and They can all attack from range or speed up towards you, but there are some more lovecraftian types that can be really tricky since they have invincibility frames in between doing attacks. Some Levels can have some dope gimmicks in them.
There are points where the performance can freaking dip which does not happen in the first game which should have a FPS patch which is my only gripe.
