Adding in a daughter and a few other characters doesn’t compensate, dramatically or emotionally, since we’re expected most of the time to seek any depth or nuances in the many close-ups of Mads Mikkelsen’s tanned face.

Mechanically, the 2 games are identical except for the specilization choices and the character diver mechanic. It is war stories, from infiltration and disruption of resources to front line combat and large scale battles.
