Tuesday’s late entry in the #systemshock bestiary is perhaps the most feared- the Cortex Reaver. If Soul Reaver's bosses are on the same level as Crash Bandicoot then Blood Omen 2 is Wrath of Cortex. This leads to the boss fights, and if you've played any Legacy of Kain game then you won't be surprised when I tell you that they suck. And then Magnus came in, and what could have lead to a Nemesis-like encounter just fell flat because the AI in this game is as dumb as a brick, which means there are no actual consequences for you to mess around with Magnus. I did like the Eternal Prison however with its claustrophobic approach that kinda reminded me of Resident Evil. So imagine spending hours doing the exact same thing with boring puzzles and frustrating platform sequences. You parry 3 to 5 attacks, dodge, attack, knock your enemy down, wait for him to recover, rince and repeat. Every single fight (with the exception of some bosses) are down to the exact same method. It's clunky and unresponsive and most annoying of all repeating way too much. The fighting mechanics especially are the biggest pain in the ass.
