After finishing the campaign : I enjoyed S2 more than S1. The story was better, the mechanics more interesting and the overall game was deeper strategically. My only complaint is that this is now garbage. I find it abhorrent that games are being designed to end up in the landfill. I never would have bought and played it because I obviously knew that going in, but my wife bought it for me and really wanted to play it. I managed to play several Exit games without destroying them and you can realistically play base pandemic with S1, but this...

My partner and I both liked the greater freedom to shape the characters' identities, compared to Season 1. She loved the new "recon" and "search this location" events. But the writing on plot cards was disappointing and i didn't like doing so many messy scratch-offs.

The story is pretty thin and you just find yourself completing the same objectives month after month. Although I really enjoyed the objective in the final month a lot. I realized after playing this game, legacy games are just not for me. There's a lot of new rule changes that feels like a hassle trying to remember and keep up with. I was a bit disappointed that some actions you are given are rarely useful. Instead of being fun, I felt like it was a lot of work. Due to some of the changes, the game went by really fast and you either win or lose right away. I barely drafted half the player deck or got past more than 2 or 3 epidemic cards before the game was over. The designers seemed to stuff a lot of ideas into this game with some hidden objectives that are helpful, but not mandatory to succeed or progress in the campaign. The unraveling of different cities was pretty neat to see unfold, but a bit predictable from the beginning. Overall, I appreciate the creativity and efforts the designers made to make this game challenging and different from Season 1, but just felt the story was ok and playing the game felt like it was more work than fun.
