>Sequel just straight up includes the entire first game, at no additional cost

Is this based? You could make an argument for it being lazy asset reuse, but I think it's a shame to let all that older work go to waste when it's barely any additional work to re-implement it. The only other game I can think of that did this was Dissidia 012 and that was easily the best game on the PSP.

Now that the dust has settled, what do we think of it?
