A game that I remember being disappointed with at first but over time have started to warm to more.
The game lacks the interconnected world, balanced encounters and overall tightness of it's predecessor but these days I can appreciate it more as being a bit of an oddity in the series that tried different things. Power Stance is rad, Rat King convenant is dickishly gratifying and the gender change coffin that doesn't explain itself at all. Also like they gave you more ring slots and had fun with ring effects more...the game even has in-game voice chat build in with a certain ring! I mean, I'd never ever want to use it but it's there! Weird!
Overall, the game has a lot of problems but it's still an enjoyable action RPG I can come back to if I wanna have a good time. Just a shame that the bosses really suck.
