Seems like a interesting idea, but the gameplay was slow and unengaging and I wasn't bothered past the first couple of missions.
Sort of like a cross between Hollow Knight and Braid. You've got the big-eyed character in a scary crumbling world, but instead of combat there are puzzles and platform challenges. There are a couple of different interesting mechanics, all relating to moving the area around you to a different dimension where the terrain or physics is different. Only complaint would be some of the dungeon layouts can leave you back-tracking a bit and it's maybe trying a bit too hard to be like other popular games.
I hope you like floaty controls and walls, floor and ceilings that cause instant death when you touch off them, because if not you'll hate this game. They developers seem to have put a fair amount of effort into it, it's got character and some interest to the mechanics, I just found the pixel-perfect maneuvering to be a deal-breaker.
Fun concept, nice visuals and some reasonable puzzles. A very well designed game, and great for a few evening's relaxation.
It's basically a combination of a bullet hell game and Peggle. It's a fun idea and nicely put together, but there were a few issues with controls, difficulty and respawning that made me not want to finish it.
The game starts well but is needlessly long and lacking in variety. The combat isn't awful but judging by the slew of enemies you have to chew through the designers thought it was a lot better and the while the characters are fun the RPG elements tend to be quite shallow. The game lets you choose what areas to explore first but the areas themselves tend to be very linear and the only way the difficulty varies is by throwing higher level versions of the same enemies at you in increasingly annoying unavoidable ambushes. Also on my computer the game tends to crash when I do something to surprise it like kiting all the enemies from one of those ambushes back to town. If you're looking for a dungeon crawling time-sink with modern-ish graphics then I'd recommend it. Otherwise the RPG selection on GOG is so deep it's quite hard to justify this option.
Fun game, but the keyboard controls are nightmarishly awkward and there's no way to re-set them.
An immensely satisfying conclusion to an epic series of games. The first sections can seem like a bit of an unnecessary warm up if you've played the rest of the series and it's probably losing points for originality at this stage but I'm still giving it 5 stars regardless.
I actually really like Blood Omen 2 for being a bit more combat oriented than the other Legacy of Kain games and diverging from the main (extremely confusing) plot-line. Would recommend whether you've played the Soul Reaver series or not.
Arguably less exciting than the original but makes up for it with fantastic visuals and story line. Everyone should play this whole series.
