Good title, enjoyable

Let me start this review by saying I have a lot of nostalgia tied to BO2, so that may be a factor. Apart from that, even when I was unfamiliar with this game I still grew to enjoy it. It doesn't exactly feel like the rest of the entries in the series, but that doesn't mean it isn't worthy. The controls are going to be hit or miss for many, but I found them fairly easy to learn. I've heard there are issues with rebinding, but there are programs that may help with that ( if you don't mind using them ). The graphics are what you may expect from an older game, but not terrible for its age. Boss fights feel pretty nice overall. Not too strong and not too weak. The performance, which many have had trouble with, may indeed require a bit of tinkering. I had the same issue as others with the menu freeze and I found that limiting my frame rate to 60 I believe was what ultimately fixed it. To be safe though I'd recommend running in compatibility mode for an older Windows.

There was an effort, but...

I really wanted to like this game. I saw so many great reviews about this game, not just on GOG but on other sites as well. But alas, I couldn't, let me explain to you why. Let's start with the story. Comparing to other Legacy of Kain games, the writing is sub par. Those famous monologues from Kain in the original Blood Omen are almost non existant, and that was one of my favorite things in the series. Since this was separately made from Soul Reaver series, there is a lot of inconsistency with the plot, but even ignoring Soul Reaver, it still has contradiction with the original Blood Omen. Existing characters are more simplified and less interesting than previous games. Kain is no longer an ominous vampire that seeks power, now he is reduced to a mere lackey that follows orders. The in game story is full of plotholes and just bad writing. The graphics are okay. For 2002 they are nothing spectacular, my only complaint is that the human models look absolutely ugly. Environments range from okay to plain boring, nothing really memorable. Music is completely dull. Again nothing really memorable, just a 15-30 second loop. Controls are terrible. Even if you switch to a controller using a fan made patch, the main problem is that combat is absolutely attrocius. Extremely limited combat that involves parrying and sidewalking until you build enough rage to use a special attack, normally at the first few levels you can beat enemies easily, but later on your attacks are just limited to using special attack because enemies like to parry your every single attack. Dash is non existent in this game, which is kind of funny because Soul Reaver games had dash. Spells are also non existent. Remember how Blood Omen had variety of spells and consumables? Not in this game There was some effort put in this game, and it's not completely unplayable, despite some game breaking bugs, and for that I give it an extra star. Trust me on this, just skip it.

Fun game if not the best.

That's pretty much what Blood Omen 2 is. Stitched together from previous abandoned games, and created in tandem with Soul Reaver 2 without any interaction between teams, Blood Omen 2 suffers from the rest of the series having such high standards. Blood Omen 2 does a good job of feeling like Kain in a new setting and control style, but fails in characterisation and storytelling. As it stands, it's the weakest in the series but I personally still find it fun enough to play multiple times. If you're looking for something enjoyable and either don't care about the over arching Legacy of Kain series or can remove it enough from the rest of the story, it's well worth your time picking this up.
