Story is paced better and I like the focus on Rubedo this game. While the game does feel faster than the first, it is still too slow with lengthy battles towards the end. Skill system is enjoyable progression but eventually I felt my character builds becoming homogenized and they are, again, stingy with skill points considering just how many skills I never got to unlock. Realistic faces made for an uglier game and the voice actor changes are both jarring and offer worse performances. People act like this game is a DMC2 level crime. It isn't good but it definitely isn't that bad.
