There's nothing new, everything is almost identical. It's still done the right way, but... not enough to cover the fact it's a rehash.
On the small things that changed, the switch of characters is a good idea, works well and give the actors some performance opportunities. The use of the grandpas not so much. The new thief character is kinda ok.
They still die in stupid ways, still making it more a children comedy than the adventure movie that the first (real) Jumanji was.
They try to do grander thinks in the final showdown, but nah, doesn't work. It's too much. And the guy becoming a horse ? Nope.
Possibly great idea at the end, if the antagonist is a player. That opens great possibilities for the universe, but it should have been better at the end of the first one, it comes a bit late there, not sure the need for another sequel is there.

A lesser version than the previous one.
