an great improvement over it's predecessor in terms of combat and pacing not to mention optional QTEs, free camera and more faster animations for climbing and less focus on puzzles which all makes this one more enjoyable to play and revisit in comparison to LOS1 to me.

the story and stealth mechanics are painfully mediocre indeed but if you are looking for more Lords of Shadow combat and enjoys action games this one is an good recommendation, it had room to be a lot better though.
