I haven't touched the original game since I was a stupid idiot kid who couldn't form coherent sentences. Now I can. Rogue Legacy 2 has really smooth movement, a plethora of unique weapons, and a lot of challenging boss fights. The areas are all unique and a lot of fun to explore. The scar challenges serve as additional challenge fights and some tutorials (I didn't know you could dash cancel the barbarian attacks until I did that scar). The music is good and cool. My only real issue with the game is the resolve system. I think losing health as a result of picking up an item is a cool idea, but the vast majority of the items don't really feel worth it for how little resolve you have especially at the start. Everything else is cool and fun and I'm looking forward to casually playing through multiple NG+ runs.
