castlevania lords of shadow 2 revelations dlc free download pc

Way to go Mercury Steam, you lowered the bar, again, and tripped over yourselves, again. The story premise of this DLC undercuts the premise and themes of Lords of Shadow 2. My last gripe is that the overall story of Lords of Shadow is immediately made worse in the opening cut scene of this DLC. But I don't expect them to be 80-90% of the game. Puzzles are fine, don't get me wrong, I expect them. If I was looking for a puzzle game, I would have bought a puzzle game. The rest of the time was spent navigating the environment and solving puzzles. In my first hour of the DLC, I think I fought 9 enemies. And my main complaint with this DLC is that combat is de-emphasized. I cannot stress enough that the fun part of this game, and of this genre, is the combat. While these are interesting, and are admittedly used very well as means to solve puzzles and environmental challenges, they are incredibly overemphasized. Rewind - lets you temporarily restore broken parts of the environment

Spirit wolf - lets you jump greater distances and phase through obstacles, but leaves Alucard vulnerable while active. Swarm of bats - lets you teleport to grapple points. It feels like a regression to the original Lords of Shadow.Īlucard also has unique non-combat abilities: Despite being fun to play as, Alucard really only has one weapon that you augment with blue or red magic. I actually wish the base game only had one skill tree, since they were all the same anyway, but I digress. There is only one skill tree, and you gain experience way faster, which is nice. Mercury Steam clearly spent some time crafting a unique fighting style for Alucard, and they gave him some unique abilities too, but it's not enough to recommend the game or justify the original price tag.Īlucard is fun to play as. I bought this on sale just wanting to see how Alucard's combat was, and honestly - It was okay.
