In the same way Dragon Age deviated from the format, there’s a growing divide into what exactly the Belmont legacy has to mean in Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2. In this action-oriented iteration, things move away further than ever before, as Dracula is now the protagonist, instead of the ultimate goal. Previous fast-paced combat in an open environment will stay, so will the climbing and platform elements of giant boss sections. It’s a shallow entertainment experience, but it’s exponentially enhanced by pristine production values and attachments to other successful franchises like God of War, DmC and Shadow of the Colossus.
