Flawed sequel, difficult to run
Great game, but there are a few issues. It's difficult to run on modern systems. To get it to launch, I spent 2 hours trying out different third-party patches and fiddling with my system settings. Eventually I got it working to a state where it has frequent visual glitches but is at least playable. Gameplay doesn't feel as good as the first one. Graphics are better and it's true 3D, but something about the way guns and enemies react feels slightly off. Especially the shotgun, which feels more like a toy than a powerhouse. It's alright, just not amazing like Blood 1. It felt like the developers left everything unfinished. After reading more about the development, turns out this actually was the case. Even with all the issues, I enjoyed the story and cutscenes more than the first one. The characters were better fleshed out and the dialogue is funny. Overall, don't get it unless you're willing to invest substantial time into getting this thing to run and putting up with the shortcomings. Needs a remaster with significant gameplay rebalancing.
