Gabriel Belmont learns of a mask with the power to raise the dead and sets out on a mission to obtain it to bring his recently murdered wife back from the dead.
Lords of Shadow builds upon the combat systems first explored in this series in 2003's Lament of Innocence and adds more violent kills to the mix. Inspiration for these changes seems to have come from 2005's God of War.

- Fixed camera angles (you don’t control it)
- Puzzles always have enemies spawn that you must fight just to slow you down
- The game is extremely linear (not sure if that’s good or bad)
- Fighting is very repetitive
- Game is the same thing over and over. Fight enemies, solve a puzzle, move to next area. Rinse and repeat. Very boring.

This isn’t a good Castlevania game or even a good game as far as I’m concerned. It’s basically God of War with a different coat of paint and less violence/gore. I dislike this and I can’t wait until it’s over.

Finished 12 chapters (base game) and has 2 more DLC chapters. The truth is I don't want to play anymore of this game but the post-credit scene caught me off guard and I simply must know what happened. Overall the game is fine, I made the mistake of expecting more classic Castlevania-style exploration so that's on me, I guess.

God this is one boring ass game. HLTB said this game took 17 hours to finish so that means I have to push through this for another 12 hours. The gameplay is fine, the graphic is okay and performance is alright too its just so damn boring compared to classic castlevania titles. The only good part is the boss fights …

The only good part is the boss fights against Colossus-like giants.
