A little Better, a little Worse.
(For those wondering if you get the bonus DLC costumes that you got for preordering the games when it first launched a while ago, that would be a no. Might be an unlock later but I haven't found it yet.) So the game itself handles better than the previous one, there's no delay with your actions, so the mini games are not frustrating; they streamlined it a bit making it easier to use buffs, and the combat action is quicker as in only needing to do a QTE to attack instead of each action being different with each costume. Having said that I think it's lost some of it's identity. It feels like a Saturday Morning Cartoon now, not a Halloween RPG like the first one was. Don't me wrong, nothing wrong with a tone shift if executed well, and the writing pulls it off. I just personally see, when it's the season time, that most just play scary games during the Hallow's Eve time of the year, very rarely do I see any games that are specifically based off of Halloween, and I just want to see more of that. That said, if you like the first game, you'll most likely like the second one.
Is this helpful to you?
