Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2

Perhaps the first major project to fall under Konami's madness. Even though I’m not particularly familiar with the series beyond the two slashers, I admit that it has a very interesting world, excellent gothic art design and even a good story to some extent. Yes, in the first part it was from the category of “we suck at killing those who know who needs to be killed,” but its ending and subsequent story envelops the whole Belmont family, right down to the grandson of the main character.

(who can't even kill you with the first shot, yeah and you can dodge them). Now someone will say: “the hero actually died and was resurrected! It’s clear that he lost all his strength!” Yes, I don’t argue that he lost all his vampire gadgets, but he defeated Satan in the last part and without them, he defeated the previous shadow lords without vampire abilities! One could say that if they discover you, they will understand that it was YOU who rebelled and the plan for the revival of S… Read full
