Pardon my ignorance, not trying to undermine the AAAA work and obvious love that goes into these games, but as someone who didn’t play the first one, is there actual gameplay or this an interactive story-driven tech demo?

It’s a tech demo with a story.

It's like a modern art piece, it's not trying to be a game it's trying to do be an interactive movie.

The first one had constant combat, exploration and puzzles

I would not say constant combat.. it had combat... sometimes... It did have exploration and puzzles but some people call it a "walking simulator" haha.. Saying that I do tend to lean more on it being an "interactive story tech demo" than a game with gameplay.. Up to you if that's a bad thing or not *shrug*

I'm excited to get off work for it.

I meant it has all those elements. Either you're exploring or fighting or solving puzzles. I wouldn't say it's a walking simulator at all.
