Amazing writing as expected from the series, however it's extremely bogged down by repetitive gameplay and locations. Despite taking a more character action direction the combat is too basic to be fun, especially since Raziel and Kain pretty much have the same moveset. The fixed camera was badly implemented and messes with your controls when you try to move stuff.
Even then it was very much worth playing for the story and characters alone and every cutscene were a joy to watch unfold, I just wish everything else was just as good.
