From PCGamingWiki, the wiki about fixing PC games
(From the editing guide: Noteworthy information about the initial release of the game on PC, on which platform(s) it were released on, and how the reception was. It may also describe the reception to the game on a technical level with quotes/references, e.g. it was a good/bad port, it had X issue on launch. This may include critic reviews. The dedicated reception row is meaningless when there's less than 4 critic reviews (which is required to put a rating into it))

Consensus included the same criticisms of Part I in addition to now lacking content and feeling rushed with some steering readers away to instead buy the first part standalone or only if included together.
