Finished the game, my final thoughts are exactly the same as my impressions posted a few pages back and very little has changed.
+ Combat was fun
castle settings are awesome
bosses were fun
The somewhat non linear worlds (although there clearly hide the loading times during some doors and elevators)
I liked the music
The art direction is great especially Dracula's castle
- Some of the modern areas are so bland and boring to look at compared to the castle settings, hell I swear I nearly fell asleep during the stealth sections in the factory areas because of how generic the interiors looked. And speaking of stealth sections...
Stealth sections, while they're not really horrible, they're very straightforward with next to no freedom to experiment with your abilities. I thought they were ok when you were weak but I shouldn't be hiding anymore after I just ripped out the heart of a giant Gorgon.
The plot, the less I talk about it, the better.
The enemy variety in the modern settings, seriously, I felt like all I was fighting were Resident Evil monsters, Metal Gears and Zergs.
I wish there were more varied setting aside from the castle and the city, like the castle village or the outskirts of the city or something.
Overall, I liked it slightly more than the first one but I can't help but wonder what could have been if Alvarez didn't go full retard and add in some questionable design choices. The game had mad potential to be great instead of just being "ok" at best.
My personal score: Three Puff Daddy's
