Just as good as the 1st!
I'm a big fan of the apocolyptic story, while having revelation/biblical themes throughout the game. This series is a gold. If you are unsure of this game buy the original first(you can get it super cheap or even play the demo).
Story, tricky puzzles, fast paced combat, what more do you need! I was a huge fan of the original and this one has not disappointed; Death comes with his own personality, and is very humorous at times while being extremely deadly.
I've experienced just a few glitches, like a quest character disappearing, or death not wanting to grab the wall i'm running at every now and then; not enough to take an egg off, but just a few hiccups; Also no more souls to absorb and give to vulgrim, I enjoyed that about the last one.
