Combat

128 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay and combat (of wich i only chose the classic hack and slash combat) was pretty good with the hollows being a fun addition, i only wish that it had more combos like the 1st game (wich it seems they decidet to revert too wich i dont mind since it is my favourite).
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
115 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A lot of nicely designed labirynths, some demanding fights on normal+1 difficulty, fun story and a lot of hack&slash vibes combined with perfect dodge mechanic.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
103 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
​Fantastic Protagonist and Lore: Fury’s character development throughout the story is excellent, and her distinct elemental weapons (whip, lance, greatsword) keep the combat fresh.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
37 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
And just having art direction I can even moderately enjoy is a huge plus in my visuals-obsessed book.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The voice acting is excellent, just like in the previous games, and she has a lot more personality than I expected at first.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I still like the story and the character design are still wonderful as any darksider series.
