As someone who adored DSR, I hated this game. It's not a bad game at all. The combat is slightly more fluid and the customisation options offer much more variety. In addition, some bosses are pretty cool. However, x3 more enemies in each area, the excessive amount of ambushes and traps, at least half of the chests being mimics and so on make this game easily overwhelming and even, annoying at some point. It feels like this game is solely made for people to rage on Twitch. When it comes to the original fanbase in the era, the game provides tons of fan service mainly from the first game even though according to the lore, it takes place many years later. However, even this fails to save the day.
