Review at: http://darkzero.co.uk/game-reviews/castlevania-lords-of-shadow-2-pc

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 is a good game with a satisfying conclusion to the MercurySteam saga that sadly falls short of its predecessor, thanks to the stupid inclusion of unwanted stealth elements. These don't complete wreck the game, due to their shortness, but are in enough to disrupted the flow of the game and irritate the player. The rest of Lords of Shadow 2 is made up of great action, some lovely locales and somewhat of a decent attempt at a more metroidvania focused 3D Castlevania. It's a shame that you need some tolerance to stick with the game to get past its faults and slow start to get to the chunk where the game is gratifying, peaking close to what made the first Lords of Shadow a great game.
