Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 is the sequel to the first game...and was the last original non-slot machine/mobile entry in the franchise until the release of Haunted Castle Revisited in 2024. It wasn't the best note to end on at that, with acclaim and sales being much lower than its predecessor, with most complaints boiling down to the overall presentation and polish being lower despite combat still being fun.
