This was a really solid game. The music was of course excellent as always. The combat, while simplistic, felt much more frenetic and the game practically begged you to be as aggressive as possible. This made for a clunky and rather useless-feeling guard mechanic, but luckily fit in with the kind of playstyle I prefer. The highlight was how each world managed to (for the most part) feel distinctly different from one another. It wasn't just "same fight, new costume", but there were vastly different gameplay sequences and types that made each one feel fresh. I enjoyed the gameplay of this one far more than the others, and while the story sometimes felt like it was trying to be a little too bombastic in places, it was a good continuation to those before. Great game!
