Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate is a game that tries to take the best of both new and old Castlevania but ultimately comes up short all round. The segmented exploration and redundant levelling up won’t please fans of the older titles and the combat isn’t deep enough to learn all of the combos for how rarely you may want to attempt something beyond mashing buttons. Ignoring the staples of the series however the game is quite enjoyable throughout its eight-hour campaign, but doesn’t offer any compelling reason to return to the game once completed.
