The value story
November 2014 is where it bottomed out, at $7.99. 75 discounts in the 13 years on record. They run about 80 percent off, roughly 7 weeks apart.
On value it sits in the top 2 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 89 percent. The nearest things to it, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Ultimate Edition ($5.99, scores 61) and Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate HD ($2.99, scores 67), are both worse buys on this math.
Critics scored it 58. Players sit 27 points higher at 85 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.

What players say
Lords of Shadow 2 is a massive improvement over the first game in almost every regard. The combat feels better, the environments are more interesting, and the game generally does a much better job of keeping things varied. I also really appreciate how completely insane the story and set pieces can get. It constantly throws increasingly ridiculous situations at you, and while it can be a bit much, I found that side...
Its a good castlevania game but has some weird stuff in it....DO NOT play this around small children.
