Not much has changed, which is both a good thing and a bad thing. Good because that Classicvania action is as good as ever, and bad because this game commits the same sin of its predecessor in requiring you to replay the whole thing to see the ending which is something that I just... do not have a lot of interest in doing right now. I'm told said ending sequences are really cool, and maybe I'll revisit this game someday. But for now, I'm content.

I think I preferred the first game a little bit, but this game did make a few improvements. Unlike the first game where I pretty much exclusively used Miriam, this game actually makes four useful characters that you are motivated to use. They made Zangetsu not pathetic in his own game! Good job!

I'm so happy Bloodstained exists, and I hope we see more of it in the future.
