Everything I said about the first game is enhanced here. Combat is a lot more engaging and really fun, there's weapon types that change the way your moves work. Demons are significantly more integral to combat now that you can summon two into battle, and the music.. my god the music is blissfully beautiful, made me love the atmosphere of this game even more. I don't think it overshadows the original with all of these improvements too, there's merit in playing both. There are some flaws with the story, same with the first, in this game's case there's some padding and moments that drag a little bit but they were over before I could realistically really hate those moments. Great game overall.
