3 months agoI did like Blood Omen 2, but it’s vastly different from the rest of the series so it may be a bit of a shock to LoK fans.
Amy Hennig wasn’t part if the project, so some of the writing and lines feel out of place, particularly so by characters like Janos Audron and Vorador.
IMO the other games in the series performed so well BECAUSE of Amy’s storytelling ability.
The final level has some glitches and the in-engine cutscenes audio isn’t synced with characters mouth animations. I always thought this was a problem with my disc growing up, but recently replayed on emulator and the exact same issue happened.
All that said, as usual with any LoK project, expect absolutely stellar voice acting by Simon Templeman (Kain).
Recently replayed F.E.A.R. and can confirm. Holy hell the AI is legitimately impressive, especially for the time.
That said, they still storm the same hallway I just threw a mine down in clear view of them. Well… there’s only like 15 mines total in the entire game.
The AI can take you from full health to dead in about 3 seconds on normal difficulty.
The mech suits can single-burst kill you with their attack.
Lastly, that mission where you’re running along the rooftops with the soldiers shooting at you through the windows? Yeah I see that shit in my nightmares. Was too careless and got that checkpoint with no health packs and 35ish HP to my name.
