Incredibly tense, and the "your fate depends on the shuffle" element of vanilla pandemic is everpresent and even magnified. The overall idea and narrative is great, but some of the details are problematic. Overall, I enjoyed the play and would possibly recommend it to others (but not blindly), but there were some real annoyances while playing that could be dealbreakers. There are definitely points in the game where the outcome is completely out of your hands, due to the game not having many ways to mitigate luck of the draw, and the steep death spiral starts (and ends) quickly. There are ways to mitigate the luck, but that depends on how well your group is doing and it's possible to exhaust those methods, leaving future months more random. Oddly enough, I'm not sure that "fun" is the word I would use to describe it, because it feels almost like push-your-luck in trying to rack up achievements before time runs out. That being said, there are lots of fun moments talking about how Washington is threatening to infect the whole country.

Wow. The gameplay changes so much in this game. Almost all of the mechanics were changed and there was an insane amount of legacy content. Exploring the world and unlicking parts of the map was really fun and exciting. I don't think the game was quite as well balanced as the first one. We had a great start and it definitely helped us in later months. It was an incredible time.

Our group finally finished Pandemic Legacy: Season 2. After loving Season 1, Season 2 was quite a let down. I don't know if it's just that Season 1 was great and this was so-so, or if it's also a function of now having played multiple other legacy games that were only so-so (or worse - looking at you, Seafall), that I'm kind of over legacy games in general. Fun for a bit - but not a great game by any stretch of the imagination. Play Season 1 for sure, but there are lots of better games to play than Season 2.
