This is on game pass btw, going to give it a try myself and see if it's worth the purchase.
From what I seen, its not.
And I dont think the game changed much, the first game had issues but a lot were because the devs really wanted to make it a competitive multiplayer game so most of the missions were the basic type and very soon you seen all the possible variations, the sequel appears to be doing the same but it even removed mission types but cracked up the repetition to 11, there is a reason why there is a auto resolve but at start you have to suffer the exact same mission types over and over because you cannot just auto-resolve then.
Also everything that is in 2, is in 1 ... just more of it and I dont mean "better" ... I mean simply more systems, more crap to juggle and the devs already ditched 2, like they ditched 1 and like they ditched Stellar Impact.
