A little mixed on this one, still a solid game but a little bit of a downgrade from the first game, it's easier and there is more of a focus on hack and slash combat with a combo counter and an expanded move list which is appreciated, but there can be some absolutely tedious enemy gauntlets late into the game and a lot of the level design isn't quite as good as the first game.

Action game built around a pretty good feeling basic system of dodge/parry then punish. Main thing that sets it apart is the degree of interactivity with the environment. Feels very satisfying to kick a pile of barrels down a flight of stairs and have it knock down a whole group of enemies.

Stick to the classic mode, the main single player mode sucks, the objectives are annoying and there's a bunch of frustrating gimmicks.
