BloodRayne 2: Terminal Cut

Wow, my expectations were pretty high after completing the first game. It wasn't great, but lengths better than this. What do I mean? The combat kinda improved and yet got worse. It's smoother and more in depth, but the balance is way off. You have to slash enemies a million times and a few hits kill you. The first game at least gave you guns to get rid of enemies fast, this game gives you 2 pistols that barely do damage and have to be reloaded by sucking off dudes. Then there's the platforming, it's not good. I mean, it wasn't great in the first game, but the introduction of acrobatics with one of the worst control schemes I've ever seen just makes this one really unpleasant. I'd rather go with the bad, but simple platforming of the first game. [Steam Deck: I only played it on the Steam Deck and I would absolutely verify it. It runs and looks perfectly fine.]

Having played this originally on the Playstation 2, then I got the PS4 rerelease and then this one. My main gripe is there hasn't been a bloodrayne 3 despite the ending of 2 that hints at a sequel that has yet to see the light of day. Asides from that, Bloodrayne 2 is still an enjoyable game to this day, fast paced combat along with special abilities along the way. If you enjoyed Blade, you'd enjoy this Dhampir's revenge tour.

Cool old game. Recommended to play if you like classic.

It's a hell of a game, even after all these years, and allot of fun. I hope someday there will be a proper follow-up .
