The editors didn't like

  • Says Castlevania on the box
  • But not on the disc
  • Buttonmash heavy combat

  • Some obtuse puzzles and scenarios lack clues or context.
  • Fixed camera creates a few problems

  • Abstract:  Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is touted to be a reboot of the aging series. This title is so radically different from the old, it's almost guaranteed to polarize Castlevania fans - some will love it, others will hate it because it isn't 'their' Castleva...

  • Stunning presentation and a clever combat system. A much longer game than any other in the genre.
  • Unnecessary filler content. Occasional difficulties with the camera. An overly complex skill system. Overdramatic narration and poor cut scenes.

  • Looks and plays great
  • Lacks originality
  • From the sumptuous visuals to the thrilling score, it’s a triple A experience, and only a few rough edges and the damning lack of originality prevent us from giving it a higher score...

  • Epic levels of epicness, Surprisingly cerebral magic system, Borrows from the best
  • Borrows from others quite shamelessly, Incredibly difficult combat, Some annoyingly obtuse puzzles

  • This may not quite be the Castlevania we’re all familiar with, but it doesn’t matter – it’s better for it. While it isn’t without rough edges, working your way through Lords Of Shadow’s early niggles will reveal one of the most enjoyable, engrossing an...

  • Mit „Lords of Shadow“ wird die ruhmreiche Castlevania-Serie würdig weitergeführt. Danke an Konami für die spannenden Kämpfe! Vielen Dank für die bis zum Ende spannende Handlung! Ein großes Dankeschön auch an die Leveldesigner, die für abwechslungsreic...

  • Epische Story, Hack&Slay, Talentebaum für Kombos, Teils hübsche Grafik
  • Oft sehr Düster, Schlauchlevels, Schwache KI
  • Wie gesagt, das Spiel kann überzeugen. Auch wenn Sie noch nie ein „Castlevania“ gespielt haben, werden Sie mit diesem hier Ihre Freude haben. Vorausgesetzt, das düstere Genre ist das Ihre. Die Atmosphäre kann dann überzeugen, auch wenn es einige Mankos...

  • Ein flottes, durchdachtes Kampfsystem mit allerhand spektakulären Peitschen-Combos, coolen Monstern und enorm abwechslungsreiche und grafisch wunderbar in Szene gesetzten Schauplätze machen das neue Castlevania zu einem richtig guten Actionspiel. Auch ...

  • Abstract:  Werwölfe, Zombies und Vampire stellen eine Bedrohung für die heile (Videospiel-)Welt dar und müssen deshalb das Gebäude verlassen. Der bibelfeste Gabriel Belmont wird sich im opulenten Reboot der Castlevania-Serie um die Störenfriede und ihre Co-Worker...

  • abwechslungsreiche Areale, scharfe Texturen & tolle Effekte, typische CastlevaniaHandlung, motivierende Rätsel & Bosskämpfe, Weiterentwicklungsmöglichkeiten für den Kampf, bombastischer Soundtrack, stimmige Synchronisation
  • seltene Ruckler, Kamera nicht immer optimal, Steuerung manchmal ungenau
  • Castlevania: Lords of Shadow ist, auch wenn es sich in der Review so anhört, auf keinen Fall ein schlechtes Spiel. Allerdings hat sich Mercurysteam zu viel bei anderen Genre-Vertretern abgeschaut, als das wir das Spiel über den Klee loben können. Get...
