Story:Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 is an action-adventure game and a sequel to the 2010 game, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, and the 35th installment on the Castlevania franchise. The game was developed by MercurySteam and published by Konami. This is MercurySteam's last contribution to the franchise. The story is set in both medieval and modern worlds.
As in the previous game, the player controls Gabriel Belmont, now known as Dracula, as he fights through an open world. During the game's opening sequence the player is able to control Dracula while he still possesses all his powers as well as all of his weapons. Dracula's main weapon is his Blood Whip, a weapon that is comparable to the Combat Cross from the original Lords of Shadow. Replacing the magic system from the previous game are the Void Sword and the Chaos Claws. The Void Sword can replenish Dracula's health when used while the Chaos Claws can be used to break through enemy defenses and deliver powerful attacks. The story mode in Lords of Shadow 2 has been stated to be far longer than the previous one. The game is mainly an open world allowing the player to choose what route to take. This game also features a movable camera, something that was not available in the first Lords of Shadow game.Show more

I bought the physical version for PS3, exactly on the day of its release. And when I played it, I knew it would be another one for my list of games that I would love forever. "Castlevania - Lords of Shadows 2" is a hack'n'slash and also a semi-open world metroidvania. It was a game that was very underrated by the most fervent fans of the franchise, since the games with the title 'Lords of Shadow' were, in fact, a reboot of the entire Castlevania universe that was already known. However, despite such significant changes, it was a game that proved to be valuable, since it still managed to offer entertainment to the player. In fact, the story here is much weaker than that of the first 'Lords of Shadow', but in compensation, the exploration and combat mechanics are much more satisfying. The soundtrack is wonderful and the graphics are very good for the time. And an equally important fact: it was the first Castlevania in which we control Dracula himself.
If it were released here, along with all its DLCs, I would definitely buy it.
