;n11056005]The helper voice isn't always annoying. It can be helpful sometimes but other times it can definitely be annoying. The most annoying is when the NPC basically solves a puzzle for you if you take too long. Although there is a setting to delay that longer. But you can't turn it off completely. They made more traversal options than in the first game. But they too can be annoying because there are some cliffs you can go down some you can't. The ones you can are marked to help. But it is immersion breaking in my opinion. All and all it's a lot like the last one, so if you liked that one, you'll like this one. I had some gripes about the last one and same with this one. But it's still a fun experience overall. Will keep playing. Just need to solve those puzzles faster!!!
