This game's OST is so monotonous and repetitive, it was constantly playing in my head for days- and while that kind of sucked, I can't say I've ever experienced something like that with a game before. It truly captures the title of the game and the atmosphere it set out for beautifully. In a way, I actually praise the game for this unironically.

HoD is easily the least fun and most tedious Castlevania I've played.
...But it does not get NEARLY enough appreciation for what it gets right, I feel.

On the surface, it's a mobile, dumbed-down version of SotN, when in fact, it sets itself apart from the other Castlevanias in some ways that I would have never thought of, and I think that's really damn cool.

It's just too bad how unintuitive traversing the castle is, it doesn't really feel good to run around in until the last hour or so.
