Story

35 of 111 sampled reviews raised it
Having other characters to play as and the new story definitely make the experience a lot more enjoyable.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
29 of 111 sampled reviews raised it
The mechanics were interesting, and it's essentially a race to figure out how to dodge/block things before dying and trying again.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
17 of 111 sampled reviews raised it
You don't unlock too many skills (I wish there were more), but there's enough to encourage mixing and matching, and trust me, once you find a good combination of spells, you can combo them pretty good. combine this with the game's guard and heal mechanics and it ads an almost character action-ish feel to the combat loop.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
12 of 111 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack further elevates the experience through energetic compositions that complement both exploration and intense boss encounters.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
8 of 111 sampled reviews raised it
The art is much nicer, the graphics are a massive leap in most areas and the maps are even better.
