I have a lot to say about this game.

This game is hated upon Castlevania fans. The major reason for it are because of the stealth section. While i agree they mess up the pacing of the game.. Are not that bad nor that difficult to deal with. I actually think this game is very rich lore-wise and content wise considering.

This take place after Mirror Of Fate which the events are explained again at the beginning of the game. Also happen in the future year 2057. The story happen in both past and future.

The art design is out of this world for a game from 2014. Dracula's Castle is huge and impressive to look at.. same for Castlevania city. The graphics aged super well, the naration while inferior to the OG Lord Of Shadows is decent. The music follows closely the style introduced with OG LoS and MoF.

I recommand this game 100%. However beware..

- This PC port has issues that Konami never cared to fix.

- Alt+Tab can mess up your keyboard controls on your PC altogether. requiring PC restart to fix (at least i have no solution for it)
- Game crash randomly (didn't crash a lot for me) but low end pc will crash a lot probably
- game softlock itself sometimes (restart checkpoints fix most of them)
- streaming the game on discord or OBS can cause crash if you remove v-sync in the revelations DLC

Other then those issues the game is very solid. I hope Konami will revisit those games one day in a remaster. Actual keyboard controls, mouse cursor in the menu (instead of emulated console controls) would be great.

8/10 game imo.
