Mechanicus 2 is terribly flat and linear.
I started playing the first one and loved it; I think it's a work of art. I bought the second one, and I don't mind that it's not a carbon copy, but I really feel like they made it so that every battle feels exactly the same. The dialogue doesn't change even if you use different heroes, and since you can change their builds, all the heroes really feel like tanks. I only remember one with stealth; some have ranged attacks, others frontal attacks, but there's really no sense of variety or that you're actually doing anything with the story. It seems like you're just playing the same scenario over and over again to get crumbs of lore.
I personally believe that the wave of negative reviews on Steam is completely justified. I don't know why the studio made that decision, but it does seem strange that they haven't said or stated anything despite everything.
