In our Castlevania - Lords of Shadow 2 review, we said the game "bites off more than it can chew by trying to cater for too many".
Our reviewer said: "Just as Gabriel was wrong to answer the call of fate, so MercurySteam should know to tread its own course, instead of swaying to satisfy the Castlevania old guard. In trying to be all things to all people it offers less to those that loved it for what it was. Forget the dead family and vampiric curse - that's the true tragedy of this Dracula."
