Curious...why are you interested in this now?

It was way too linear for me the first time I tried it out a few years back, and linearity usually doesn't bother me.

Saw it at the library tonight. Looked interesting. Read some reviews when I got home and those were mostly good.

Plus, I saw that Jason Isaacs did some of the voice work and I've been on a Jason Isaacs kick lately (just watched him in Brotherhood and Star Trek Discovery).

Mainly, it's different from what I normally play. For $22, I'm willing to give it a try.

Sure you can't get it for less? I got it at some Steam sale for like 8 dollah a few years ago. 22 too boo koo.

I bought it for Xbox with all the extra content. Same version for PC is currently going for $30 on steam.

This is something I'd rather play on console, honestly.

Don't you have a gamepad for the PC? I guess it doesn't really matter for this game in particular.

Nope. And these days I only have laptops for computers. I have a monitor I can plug into the laptop, but it's simpler to just fire up the Xbox and sit in front of the TV. I still game on the Windows laptop and Macbook, but some games I prefer to play on console.

Jason Isaacs is great for the four minutes he shows up at the end of the game.

Just so you know.

PatStew gets a lot more airtime.

I'll take it. The voice cast overall is pretty impressive.

Fwiw, I beat LoS1 the first two or three times on my PS3.  O0

I picked it up on Steam long ago as part of a holiday deep discount sale. I think I played it once that way in prep for finally getting around to LoS2.


Oh, I suppose you'll already expect, this being a CV game, to expect some platforming. It's pretty light, however; much more like the God of War series than the Prince of Persia Sands quad.

I'm looking forward trying it. Should arrive tomorrow.

The question really is - will you be ok. I know the answer.
