uh, take it or leave it i guess. mostly carried by the new art and sound design that is way more cohesive and atmospheric than the original two. unfortunately the levels blend together around the middle of the game and some of the balance changes are genuine head-scratchers. like why is the pain elemental SO strong lol

pistol started this time too. on the whole better than the first barring like 3 stinker maps. the highs it hits (eg inmost dens and abandoned mines) and the expanded enemy roster are enough to forgive some failed level design experiments.
