Wow, Drew did way better than I expected on the Sahelanthropus fight! I died like 10 times on my first playthrough.
Gotta say though, there's way too much over-exaggeration about the structure of Chapter 2; the pacing is really strange but if they just play the game how they normally would by playing the main missions, and maybe listen to some tapes here and there, then they'll get through the rest of the game with no problems.
And Chapter 2 has by far the best story beats in the game.
