Probably a better game than PL season 1, but the "legacy" phenomenon regarding Pandemic wore off for me a bit in Season 2, which is the reason for the slightly lower rating. PL2 produced some widely varied experiences according to reviews and playthroughs that I read, plus my 3 attempts, with different groups, were all unique. Some people found the game depressingly difficult while others breezed. I thought the game was more challenging than PL1 and it required a more coordinated and well-thought-out plan of action in order to succeed. That is what I liked about this game over Season 1, the moments where my team and I poured over the situation and really was able to put our heads together to solve the current problem. PL 1 was a lighter game. Nonetheless, both are excellent and I certainly will grab Season 3 when it is released.

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.

More challenging than Season 1, however the gameplay feels so much different, because of this I can understand why some people might like it less. I still gave it the same rating, it is still a great game.
