    I think part of the problem with Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 is that the first game was so good and all they had to do was copy the same design. Maybe the same people didn't work on this title, but it's offensively difficult with few options. Difficult games are fine; in fact, I celebrate difficult games. Unfortunately, without giving tools or proper agency, CotM2 deserves as much respect as it gave me, the player. Unless you are the most die-hard classic gaming fan, I can't recommend this title. In fact, even then, buyer beware.

    All in all, Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 is a treat for longtime Castlevania players or anyone else with an interest in retro action-platformers. Fans who are pining for the pre-netroidvania days of the series will find that Curse of the Moon 2 is the best representation of that in a very long time. It still has its needless inconveniences and isn't shy about wasting time, but this hardcore homage is certainly worth the asking price.

    A new chapter that greatly improves the formula of the original.
