The two mediocre sections of gameplay offered throughout the DLC, coupled with the short lifespan, hardly makes Resurrection a recommendable purchase. I bought both expansions because I loved Lords of Shadow and I wanted more, and if you’re in the same camp, you might consider this approach. If, however, you feel the need to catch up on any plot prior to Lords of Shadow 2’s release, I’d advise you to steer clear. Nothing of major importance is revealed in either of these episodes.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow was one of our favorite games of 2010. It offered something unique to a bloated genre: atmosphere. The art direction in Lords of Shadow is truly its own, and the beautiful visuals never fail to disappoint. The core gameplay is impactful, as you change the world with every fallen enemy. Some odd puzzles and platforming sections that outstay their welcome can drag it down, but this sharp toothed tale is well worth the money and should be experienced by action adventure fans thirsty for blood.
