Yes they've gone directly to The Goonies well and cast Sean Astin for the second season.

Apparently October 27th got short articles on a number of sites because of all the releases, I just Googled it. AC: Origin is the other big game one though. And I think November ~8th has some stuff as well (with Thor in between on the 3rd) so kind of a nuts few weeks frankly. If I owned a Switch on top of everything else I'd be stressing out about all the fun I have to have

Just finished it as had day off work - lost some of the magic of the original. 7/10
Eleven's character was sidelined from the main plot until the penultimate episode. The sister storyline was just a way to "level up" Eleven's powers and the sister's crew was lame.
Part of the magic of s1 was the way they used her powers sparingly and every time was a more powerful demonstration than the previous time, building up to the sacrifice at the end. For me the highlight of s1 was her saving Mike from the cliff drop but nothing in s2 had the same punch.
The new girl was ok but her brother was awful, I could see what they were trying to accomplish with the 80s bad boy vibe but it was just stupid. One scene of character development with his father wasn't enough to rescue the character. I did think him heading to the house would lead to him joining the crew and some kind of redemption arc but nah.
Final boss fight wasn't as good as s1 either.
Basically there were hardly any "whoa" moments compared to s1.

Agreed. It wasn't as good as S1.
In fact, Stranger Things S2 felt superficial after how great Mindhunter was.

Finished only the first episode so far, I dunno did the first season beat you over the head with the obvious music this much? Like within the first ten minutes three different 80s pop songs played. Just a minor note that was in my head. Other then that it seems like an OK start, not enthralled like I was with S1E1.

3 episodes in, it's a little slow and boring except for the stuff with 11. I can already tell it's a "coming of age" storyline for the boys this time rather than the childish wonderment that was season 1. It's not as compelling because I feel like I'm being beaten over the head with it as a major plot device rather than a subtle advancement of the characters. They are focusing way, way too much on the new chick and her brother and I'm only on ep 3.
