Vox Populi Vox Dei 2

If you're looking for the experience the first episode had to offer, you won't find it here. While the nostalgia factor is definitely here, the game feels very different from the first episode of the series, focusing mainly around platforming segments, rather than interaction with the enemies. Core mechanics from the first game are still present, pounce being the only way to deal with enemies at the same time being a useful movement tool. There are some segments of the game which require pure luck to pass through if it is your first time in a certain area, as if the game is softly encouraging player's death, boss fights could serving as an example, the first time you face the first boss you have no idea which part of the floor is going to open first, therefore you have to make a 50/50 guess to pick a side you're going to attack from. Music is amazing, I absolutely adore it, especially during first levels of the game and the airborne segment, sadly soundtrack can't save a mediocre game. I sincerely hope that if the third part is ever released, which is quite doubtful, it'll allow more ways of dealing with enemies, as well as changing the focus from a common platformer feel to actual Vox Populi Vox Dei that we had a chance to see in the first episode.
