...so far it blows the (really enjoyable) first part of out the water.
There are so many more opportunities, like buying items, getting them repaired, dolling up your old mansion even. The missions are a lot more diverse and the system of being anonymous or wanted is fairer and makes more sense than before. You simply interact a lot more with the world you're moving in, can look through corpses for loot or even carry them around
An the Tuscany looks extremely beautiful. Can't wait to go to Venice.

Highly recommended so far!
