Let me preface this by saying that I had very mixed thoughts on the original Alundra before giving this a go.
I didn't spend a great deal of time with Alundra 2. Essentially, I got out of the first area of the game, progressed a little further and quit. I may not have given this game a fair shake, but it didn't feel like it handled particularly well (and this might be due to how much later in life I played it) and I also felt like despite the obvious attempt to improve upon visuals, it felt more like a step back from the LTTP/IoG-esque look of the first game that would lend it a more appropriate feel for the type of game it tried to emulate.
So, that's the long and short of it. This 0.5 is mostly for me and if you like games in the vein of Link to the Past or Illusion of Gaia, maybe this is something you should give a chance. For me, I just couldn't do it.
