Castlevania : Lords of Shadow was much better than its sequel. The sequel had a cool story, amazing music, good visuals, but the design of the game was really bad.
The stealth sections, despite being like 6% of the game were dreadful. Having those Hellguard units that were invulnerable to friggin' Dracula was NOT a good idea. Also, some of the enemies were a pain in the neck to fight. They soaked up way too much hits before they croak. You are Dracula - you're supposed to feel overpowered against normal fry and at least on par with the strongest enemy types.
The story is cool but the way it was told was confusing. I didn't fully understand why Dracula kept going in and out of the Castle till I read the wiki and found that the Castle trying to keep Dracula stuck in it forever. Level design, despite the game being made hub like, faltered. It was really hard to get around and backtracking through areas with enemies that had bloated HP was irritating.
