Synopsis
Ghat's story is far from over: Zeno Clash 2 picks up where the deliciously brazen first game left off. After 4 years of waiting, the sequel to the surreal first-person brawler brings more variety in combat and levels, and even more bizarre storytelling into the beguiling world of Zenozoik. Join forces with your former foe Rimat and battle against scores of angry denizens, preventing their dastardly machinations from being realized.




Gameplay
The gameplay is very boring, everything looks and feels the exact same as the first Zeno Clash. This is a very bad way to make a game I think. Why make the second game exactly the same as the first one. I actually prefer the first one to this due to the fact it feels smoother and easier to follow. But the by the time the second mission was over, I was still very very lost. Not user friendly at all. But it does eventually carry on from Zeno Clash's story line. Now, I said it was very boring at the start of this but as I got into it a bit more, it did get more exciting as the game went on, I have to say this as I don't want to mislead everyone into thinking it's awful, because it's not. It's just not a game I'd personally play again. The story is very samey, most parts are repeated and repeated throughout the game, not a feature i liked.




Graphics
The graphics are much the same as the first Zeno Clash, terrible. I mean this has slightly better colors and transitions but the overall textures are still bad. Every thing feels a little scripted in this game even the background graphics. The user interface is very easy to navigate around which is a nice feature over the first game. but back to the colors, they have rich tones with great darker depth to them, although still lacking in textures. The first Zeno Clash didn't have groundbreaking graphics at all, but I would want at least a 10% improvement over the first game in the series, and I'm sure I'm not alone on that one. If you find any of the graphics to over powering, you can alter the gamma and brightness to tone that down to your preference.




Controls
This game supports inputs from either a mouse and keyboard or partial controller support, this makes it very easy for people wanting to start out on PC allowing them to use a gamepad of some sorts. I played this with the mouse and keyboard and was relatively easy to use, but the responsiveness was diabolical. One of the only bad points of the controls are that it has terrible input lag, even from the mouse and keyboard inputs, so god only knows what it's like when you use a controller. Not when in a action part of the game, input lag is the last thing you need, as 1 second lost is a fight lost. So this does need fixing ASAP because it's almost impossible in some missions of this game.
