Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 - Revelations DLC

In Revelations, you play as Dracula’s son, stepping into his pale shoes as he embarks on a mission to prepare the stage for his father’s final battle. The combat is familiar, Alucard brings his own flair to the fight, and swapping between his sword and vampiric abilities keeps things somewhat fresh. That said, it doesn’t add any groundbreaking new mechanics. If you liked the base game’s combat, you’ll probably enjoy Alucard’s moveset. The castle is as moody and atmospheric as ever, but it’s not exactly new territory. Revelations reuses a lot of assets from the main game, and while the environments are undeniably gorgeous, they don’t feel as mysterious the second time around. There's a sense that you've walked these dark halls before, and while some areas have new puzzles and enemies, it doesn’t completely shake that "been there, done that" vibe. You’ll breeze through Revelations in about 2-3 hours, which makes the asking price a bit hard to swallow. It’s essentially an extended epilogue that could have been bundled with the base game or offered at a significantly lower price. Paying full price for what amounts to a brief chapter feels like you’re being nickeled and dimed for content that doesn’t justify the cost. (Buy on sale if you’re a die-hard fan of the series) At the end of the day, Revelations isn’t terrible, but it’s far from great. It delivers more of the moody action and gothic drama that Lords of Shadow 2 fans might crave, but it doesn’t do much to elevate the experience beyond what’s already been seen. It’s like getting dessert after a meal that left you kinda full—it’s fine, but you didn’t really need it.

It's an overall acceptable DLC, if you buy it at a cheap price. The DLC mechanics are based on the base game (obviously), but there are hardly any changes to it. The character is ofcourse fun to play and there are also new fighting moves and they're cool even though technically they're not new combos. It's safe to say that, they're there just not to give you the repetitive feeling as if you're fighting with the character of the main game. The story is kinda cool and shines a light on some events that happens prior to the main game. Not a breakthrough but definitely interesting. Don't expect a whole new concept though. It's just fetch quests but there also some skills tailored just for these quests, so they're pretty balanced. I recommend buying this DLC if there's a sale or if you're a fan of the main game or you wanna go 100 percent on the achievements.

Open world, nice moves, story is not soo good, but nice game. I enjoyed it !

Lacking the focus, clarity and coherence of its precursor, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 fails to satisfy as a sequel or as a game in its own right, delivering muddled game design and little narrative resolution.
