The exploration is relatively more open comparing to the first game of the Lords of Shadow series, more similar to Legacy of Kain games. Boss battles are creative and truly intense, the battles against Gorgons and Carmilla are between my favorite boss encounters of all time, side by side with bosses from Bayonetta, Ys and God of War. The gameplay is more fluid than the gameplay in the first game, but the scenery is less beautiful, inspired and varied but more dense, explorable and bleak. The possibility to be able to experience a dark fantasy future, with some aspects of "World of Darkness" and "Vampire: The Masquerade" in combination with the more traditional Gothic past is deeply interesting. The possibility to be able to experience a dark fantasy Lords of Shadow 2 is considerable different and more varied than the first game. Lords of Shadow 2 is considerable different and more varied than the first game. With truly unforgettable moments, there is better stories out there, but not all that many Overall= Solid 8/10 … Expand Gameplay 7/10- Lack of enemy variety, with some flaws to an excellent combat system as well as lack of platforming, combined with not enough puzzles for my liking hold back slightly what is an extremely fun experience, the tedious stealth sections at times could've been an improvement were they better executed and designed but otherwise it is another black mark lowering it's score Story 9/10- Excellently written, solid concept and unique spin on the castlevania formula, it is at times quite predictable, but it is so well executed it makes up for it, it is truly heart-warming, wrenching and breaking at times. Sound 7/10- forgettable if well done soundtrack holds back what otherwise is an excellently voiced experience with quality Foley. Visuals 9/10- Excellent art design and execution, well done animations, Rich, beautiful environments and atmosphere.
