Mirror of Fate HD is a solid but unexceptional action game. It lacks refinements: an interesting role-playing system, better-designed backtracking, more artistically and stylistically inspired environments. There is good variety, though, and, by the end of the adventure, a fair amount of solid action moments as well. The work on the Castlevania continuity, which is very brave, challenges fan beliefs and succeeds in expanding the Lords of Shadow universe. The ups and downs of the production obviously do not change in this HD re-release, which certainly presents a more detailed look, but also denounces its portable genesis and, more generally, the not always inspired art style (cut-scenes aside). Neither the visual upgrade nor the better-designed control scheme will be a game-changer, and the advice remains the same: If you are a fan of Lords of Shadow, you will not regret it.
