    It captures the sense of nostalgia and the 3D technology with the Lords of Shadow linking the classic plot in such a mix, that is irresistible. The puzzles are awesome, the atmosphere is terrific, it has an identity on its on and it is a rare jewel for that.

    The game is worth a prod though because the feeling can’t be matched. It’s a classic game, with most of the best elements, tossed into a nifty hitch of a game ported over from the DS.

    This is the best version of the game, without a doubt, but it’s the best version of a game that is still, at it’s core, good without ever crossing the threshold into great.

    It’s not the best Castlevania game ever, but for a digitally distributed minor title it’s really decent. And the visuals are surprisingly good for a game initially created for the 3DS. [01/2014, p.62]
