I will say that the first 2 chapters are indeed a tutorial of sorts and the flow of the game changes quite drastically in chapter 3. You can continue to explore like you do in the first 2 chapters(I do it when going to new areas for the first time because I enjoy it), but you get a lot more tools at your disposal to make traversing the world much easier. As for the cinematic stuff i think it depends on how much side content you do. I've got probably 30~ hours into the game by this point and am only on chapter 3 so to be honest the cutscene heavy stuff is a very small % of my total playtime, but if you just go straight from story objective to story objective you might have a different experience than I
