the complete 180 this game took in comparison to its predecessor in every way is kind of fuckin appaling. the interconnectedness and metroidvania-ness of the level design is gone - in its stead, the entire world is several long linear corridors one after another!
aesthetically it's everything i liked the least about ds1 dialed up to 100 and all the cooler stuff removed.
gameplaywise it feels so much more floaty, so much more uncomfortable, so much worse? i can't even explain it quite well - the whole entire atmosphere the game gives me sort of makes everything just feel so much more Ugly and Shitty.
i don't like this game. i'm normally one to be stubborn and sit through even the worst experiences just to be able to say that i got through it and Did not enjoy it in the end, but it's been too long. i'm tired. this game sucks.
