Really looking forward to seeing the changes to the overworld gameplay. The first game was brilliant on the combat side (on the easy side for the main campaign but the optional missions could get tough) so I'm less worried there, but the style of gameplay for the overworld seems to have been completely overhauled and I'm curious how it'll end up playing out.
The screenshots certainly look very promising though, I think it'll be a fun world to poke around in
While Ubisoft's business practices are typically scummy, the first game's Donkey Kong DLC means that this doesn't seem as bad to me as it would otherwise (kinda like how Monolith's earned a similar level of leeway from me thanks to Torna)
