One of my favorite action-adventure games; but be careful, this game has a different tone than the first Lords of Shadow and also, it has big plot holes and some gameplay flaws.
The combat is very similar to the first Lords of Shadow, but improved.
The puzzles are easier but most of them are more related to the game than the puzzles of the first Lords of Shadow ( now many puzzles involves using the abilities of Dracula instead of moving pieces in a board).
This game also have camera control with the right stick instead of the predefined camera of the first game.
Another noticeable change is that now there are exploration in the game, it's really a 3D Metroidvania game, where you unlock new areas while getting new powers.
About the tone, LoS 2 has an atmosphere much darker than the first one, basically you explore two worlds: one is very similar to the first game(but darker), and the other one at the beginning may look like an arkham city less appealing, but most of the game it's more like the first Darksiders atmosphere.
The story also remind me Darksiders and a little bit of Hellboy.
The bad parts: there are some stealth sections that feels out of place and there are not very fun, the first hour of two of the game(after the prolog) are not very good, Dracula doesn't look like a vampire(but you can buy a skin :) ), and the game has some annoying on-screen suggestions (fortunately, they can be deactivated in the menu).
Even when these shortcomings most of the game is great.
