So I finally finished #BelmontsCurse. It is an amazing video game. There is no doubt about the depth and care that went into this video game. If you are a fan of Dead Cells, Hades, Hollow Knight, you would be thoroughly impressed. It is equally as challenging as it is rewarding, which is how this style of game should be. As a lifelong and diehard Castlevania fan, it does fall short of my expectations. First off, the score for the game is incredibly weak. For being a mainline CV game, where standards are exceedingly high, it falls way short. Second, the shoehorning of Dead Cells/Prince of Persia mechanics and gameplay feel does hamper the experience. If you played SOTN/Aria/OOE, this game will feel like a bad departure from what those games represented. If you went into this expecting a continuation of that style, you will be thoroughly disappointed. If you grew up playing CV2 or Bloodlines, you'll be used to the difficulty, and this game will reward you for your patience. It is an excellent Metroidvania with fresh and new mechanics that will honestly carry the franchise into the future. My hope is that we still get an Igavania style game from Konami. The success of Bloodstained is undeniable. There needs to be another Castlevania game in that style. If the next entry in the franchise doesn't adapt to that idea, it'll be the last Castlevania game, maybe ever. @Konami Plz listen to the fans. Belmont's Curse is a massive success but do not let that success detract from the very real and justified complaints of long time fans of the series. This series and this fanbase deserves your reverence.
