It does have a lot of improvements but sadly literally falls flat on what made the first one so enjoyable to me. I loved having to think about my routes and using tools in order to traverse a train that was not made for traversal. Now everything basically has a more or less direct walking path. You get the truck very early on and it will be your do-it-all almost the whole way through. I bought a PS5 just to play this game early and I haven’t even finished it.
