I played the second but not the first. The game is mid. It feels like an MMO rpg but in weird ways. Some of the quests were designed by a sociopath. An example: there are collectible discs throughout the game. Hundreds of discs. One quest near the end of the game has you go find the place you picked up your first disc. And you only have seven in game days to find it. Literally impossible unless you wrote down where it was. There are other little things but if you have zen like patience it’s decent. Just don’t pay full price, it’s not worth it.
