14 Hours of DD2.

Bottom line, it's a lot of fun and if you liked DD1 you'll like this.

Random thoughts.

It's a bit janky and performance varies wildly depending where you are, the save system is crazy, one manual/auto and one Inn/camp save, so be careful.

Same as DD1 there are few fast travel points and the means to use them is expensive*, so lots of walking and exploring, you can use Oxcarts which are very slow and could get attacked or you can sleep and are practically guaranteed to be attacked.

Combat is a lot of fun once you get used to no lock on, which was tricky for me as I've just come from Elden Ring NG +2, there's lots to explore and find.

Some quests are timed, indicated by an hourglass, so they can be failed if you rest too often after taking them on.

The item you use to camp is reusable, but keep 2 on your party as you can be attacked during the night and lose them, you will need to camp if you're out at night as you can't see anything and the monsters are stronger.

Lots of different builds and play styles.

Story is as good as you'd expect.

The Steam drama queens complaining about MTs fail to mention that:

1. You can't buy them in game you have to go to Steam, don't know about console, and you don't know they exist while playing.
2. Everything can be got in game without paying.
3. What you get is 1 portstone, which is a movable fast travel point, wakestones , which allow you to revive yourself rather than go back to the last save and RC points, which you use to hire pawns.

That said I wished Capcom hadn't added them.

Overall 4*

*Everything is expensive at first 

<edit>also if your hired pawn dies and thus disappears any of your stuff they were carrying or picked up goes to your storage
