Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2

One of the worst games ever created. This is not Castlevania I grew up with. This is not even half of what Lords of Shadows is. To think we came from Lords of the shadows one of the greatest Castlevania games with lore building, level design, monsters and all journey just gothic love to this dogsh*t? Well this is straight up insult to the franchise. First of all major shift from first masterpiece of a game that this one have setting in modern times. No just STOP. No one want to roam around in some blatant boring industrial complex filled with pipes and claustrophobic rooms. Half of the game or at least how much I had given myself to this abysmal trash was like 50% if not more exploring these boring tunnels. I want to feel like im playing Castlevania game. I want to be in old era with gothic architecture filled with gothic monsters, werwulf, trolls, giant bats and what not. I want to explore giant castles, dangerous forest and swamp lands filed with secrets and dangers. No this game doesn’t have that. So basically whole identity of the game is thrown into a trash bin already. It doesn’t have that Castlevania feeling. There are some little glimpse where you travel into time but that far from what it should have been. Second crack it the mirror was stealth sections. Good idea very poorly executed and used to many times. Level design is also trash. One of the worst I’ve seen. Very hard to understand where to go or navigate next because how same everything looks in modern times. Same building same grey areas same grey visuals. Story? Another black hole. Another nose dive was lack of enemy variety. For what first LOTS had this game has maybe a third of it maybe even less. All fights cleaning trash was mindly boring to say the least. Some of the monster comically looked low polly. They couldnt even bother to make monsters somewhat high quality. There is some good part in this game ironic. Dracula feels and controls freedomly well. It gives you so much movement freedom and combat shines and on par with the first LOTS for sure. And there are few bosses that are well done. To combat them was a pleasure. That’s all can say.

oh my holiness, this is peak, I love this game. For this price its one of the best game I've ever played, 20/10. I recommend it to everyone

the first lords of shadow was quite good despite it's flaws. none of the flaws took away from the beauty of the art and music. this sequel, three hours in has no music. a crime in castlevania terms. go back, the music in simons quest is better after a few seconds before you even leave town and hear vampire killer in the woods. the art was half as good. whips, chains and bricks. it had a spawn aesthetic, not the gothic standard the series always had. patrick stewart is gone unceremoniously as narrator which would be excusable if he was replaced by anyone. robert carlyle is a legend and at least he was rehired so i do appreciate that. i do not appreciate replacing epic soundtracks with moody ambiance . i hate it when final fantasy does it, i had to learn to forgive zelda for doing it in botw and totk (the soundtrack was so dang good when it wanted to be, you should play those before getting lords of shadow 2) lords of shadow:mirror of fate is quite good as a metroidvania. not quite sotn, but nothing is.

时隔多年，重新把儿时爱玩的游戏通关一遍，小时候执着于解密和研究招式，如今重新玩一遍却没有了以前的耐心，游戏里的机关和boss可以重复玩很多次，但无忧无虑的童年，再也回不去了。

Lo jugué en xbox360 de salida hace 11 años y me gustó pero en esta segunda rejugada tal vez hasta me haya gustado más aún. Descubrí la saga en el 91 y desde entonces me he pasado todos los juegos, algunos montones de veces... y en mi opinión este es el segundo mejor juego de la saga en 3D por mucho, solo detrás del primer LOS, que es brutal. La historia sigue donde se quedó la primera parte y el mirror of fate, continúa el buen desarrollo de personajes y cierra la trilogía. Artísticamente es una pasada y su jugabilidad muy buena. Para mi esta trilogía tiene el espíritu de juego de aventuras, acción y plataformas de los primeros de la serie (castlevania IV por ejemplo) y algo de la exploración de los metroidvanias. Mucha gente critica el sigilo, es una mecánica que al principio del juego tiene sentido pero cuando somos poderosos ya no tanto... De todas formas no representa ni un 3% del total y son partes cortas y sencillas, muy intensitos los que desprecian el juego solo por eso.. Más quizá me ha molestado la estructura de fases.... Para los completistas de coleccionables un dolor. No disponemos de un mapa general, cada mini zona tiene varias salidas por donde ir a otras zonas y es fácil perderse (al contrario de la primera parte, aquí los biomas son más parecidos, el teletranporte pilla lejos y no cambia entre las 2 dimensiones). Me gustó mucho más la estructura del 1, con su mapa en plan castlevania clásico, fases cortas e indicando lo que te falta en cada fase. Si no eres completista no hay problema ya que el camino principal siempre está señalado. El DLC de revelations pone la guinda al pastel y al igual que en el primer juego, explica agujeros de guión que quedaban pendientes.... es corto pero en rebajas suele estar de oferta. Lo dicho, si te gustó el LOS 1 ni te lo pienses, su secuela no es tan brillante pero es un muy buen juego que no deberías perderte. Por cierto, me alegra ver que pese a que la saga LOS tuvo críticas en su día por parte de los fans más conservadores (los más ruidosos), con el tiempo, leyendo críticas y comentarios en YouTube o Steam, veo que la mayoría de la gente acabó muy contenta con esta trilogía y tiene muchos fans, merecidamente.

No one makes me hate you, lord of shadows trilogy
