So, after finishing the game, and then reading Mr. Cool's review, I have decided he is an idiot. The game has plenty of combat, and the puzzles are easy, but you still have to think for a second. I do have some complaints, though.
Why wasn't Moon Bloodgood brought back as the voice of Uriel? The new girl tries to sound the same, but she just can't quite match the emotion from the first game.
The second half of the game seemed rushed. The first two worlds are very fleshed out, lots to explore. The last two, not so much.
There are some inconsistencies with the first game, like why Uriel and the Hellguard are holed up in this one courtyard on Earth, when they spend the entirety of the first game hunting War.
And, lastly, the ending was a bit of a let down. We're not talking Mass Effect 3 letdown, here. But, who is Absolom? He is mentioned once, very early on, and almost forgotten about until you enter the Well of Souls. As the main antagonist, he's not at all developed. Even worse, he's easy to beat. Maybe it was because I'd had the majority of the Abyssal Armor equipped, but he went down quicker than many enemies in the game. Hell, the Stalkers last longer than he did.
But, those things aside, the combat was plentiful, the weapon customization was very nice (possessed weapons can be leveled up to increase stats, and each level gives you options for bonus stats, or extra increase in a current stat. I had level 17 braces with better stats than any level 23 item I've found so far) The side quests were nice. And the Crucible is an awesome addition. Definitely worth it to me.
