The first Aragami game, was very special to me, it's story really spoke to me, the gameplay was really creative and the artistic direction was gorgeous. The first did feel new in a sense even though it did get inspiration from other games, I can't say I played a game quite like the first one. Aragami 2 though, doesn't exactly go the direction some of the fans want and I get that, I also do think some things could've been executed better and whatnot but the game is still worth checking out. What I'll say is, if you expect the game to be as contained as the first game was in terms of story and for the gameplay to use what was already established and build upon that, you're not exactly gonna get that here and it's not necessarily a bad thing. As a matter of fact Aragami 2 feels more like an attempt at putting the series on the track to become the next Tenchu which if you know Stealth gaming, we haven't gotten an entry in what feels like an eternity, and it does an alright job at it, it's absolutely not perfect, but at the end of the day the game is fun to play, and while it does lack a bit of difficulty overall, the game still makes you feel like a cool ninja with the powers of the shadows. The story doesn't really hit the mark for me unlike the first game did. It's not bad, just serves the purpose of making you play the game. So uh yeah, kinda disjointed review but if you remotely like Stealth games, you'll have fun playing this game, it won't feel like the original game, but still great !
