Starts off slow imo, but is just as good as the first one, if not better. My two cents when playing this game though:

If you played the first game on hard and struggled a bit towards the end of the game, I recommend you consider downgrading to normal (not to easy, that is definitely overkill). This game`s bosses are harder than the first game`s, so don't risk soft-locking yourself on a difficult boss and restarting if you aren't confident in your abilities, which is very possible fairly early into the game (and the beginning of the game isn`t really something you`d want to replay). Though this is ultimately up to you

And if you're the type that likes to do everything possible, take it slow and do it in short bursts. Trying to do as much as possible in a single session WILL burn you out very easily, since there is a lot more to do in this game, including a LOT of reading, compared to the last one. I would know

And on the off-chance you didn`t play the first game, go back-- you`d be missing out

That aside, this is a great entry to a great series. I`m glad I started.
