After this game you really need to play the 3rd part, but I feel you need this part to understand the third fully.
Gameplay can't really score 'cause I used a LOT of mods, made the game a lot more playable maybe?
The story is just stellar in every way but the ending, won't spoil anything.

This game is better in every single way compared to the prior title that's for sure.
On to play the third and final game hope it ends with a bang.

Wow, this game just hit 10 years old! I really loved it when it came out on console. As a mature fantasy game full of politics, violence, interesting societal dynamics, and genuinely separated branching paths, it hit many of the things I loved about Dragon Age: Origins, which at the time was one of my very favorite games.

Wow, this game just hit 10 years old! I really loved it when it came out on console. As a mature fantasy game full of politics, violence, interesting societal dynamics, and genuinely separated branching paths, it hit many of the things I loved about Dragon Age: Origins, which at the time was one of my very favorite games. In some ways, it was even cooler. Even if it’s not the greatest, gameplay-wise, the world and story were amazing.
If any game from that generation needs the kind of reworked treatment that NieR Replicant just got, this is the one. Very underappreciated and overshadowed. It could really use a small leap forward mechanically and visually to help people appreciate it after the popularity of Wild Hunt and Netflix’s Witcher series. Would help rehab CD Projekt’s image a bit too maybe...

Recommended Mods
TW2 is a bad game too, but it's pretty short (20 hours) so not as painful as the first.
-
Intro logo removal - Skips most intro movies when booting.
-
Weightless Enhanced Edition - Sets your weight limit to 99999 so you won't have to deal with that nonsense.

Fix Dice Poker and Arm Wrestling - Always win - Dice Poker is a terrible game (always try to go for 3 of a kind) and this lets you complete related quests more easily. Didn't install the arm wrestling part, it's not a problem.
-
Extra talents per Lv - Combat is pretty boring already but with this mod you can actually try both magic and melee so it sucks a tiny bit less.

Honestly not finding my groove with this game. I'm more SciFi than Fantasy.
