Catlevania: LoS 2:

  • Claims nearly every attempt this game makes to "stray from its fundamental kill room formula ends in failure".
  • Reviewer loved the first game, said "Unfortunately this sequel is as fresh as a whiff of garlic breath".
  • Good new combat mechanics but enemies stun locking you out of combos from across the map while you fight with the camera.
  • Reviewer hates the modern setting, its filled with generic alley ways, factory levels.
  • Says there was one stealth segment that was the worst of its class. The more traditional Castlevania settings are better.
  • Says there is one great level with the toy maker, outside of that most of the game is just ground previously covered in the first game.
  • "This shambling monstrosity is composed of chunks from other, better games"

Reviewer bitches about stealth sections & modern setting ( even i dont like modern setting )

 

 

Relax. ONE reviewer. This is the reason I've never read reviews at all for most games. Even if it did end up being legitimately bad for a Castlevania title, you'd get a fair idea of it in a Giantbomb quicklook vid. If you're into reviews , wait for another bunch. A good setting for a Castlevania game can exist in a modern-day transylvania and it's entirely upto the art design sticking to source material's roots. It's just that illusion inside people's heads that "game is good only if inside castle" etched in because of how some previous 3D titles like Lament Of innocence had a brief bad section in the forests / outside world.

 

It's just really hard to believe this ending up being bad. If it is indeed filled with bad design choices, well, it's a terrible way for Mercurysteam to say goodbye to their baby , which is their most acclaimed work as a developer.

First of all, its a HnS title and a proper one this time around. There maybe some problems which are minor but nothing that takes away the fun. First game was criticized for camera and invisible walls, although the problem was there. I had absolutely no problem with camera at all. Konami wanted us to show some beautiful things and they did. I thought first game was excellent.

 

This is gonna be good, don't let reviewers change your mind. Games like these are rare. I am IN.
