04:24 - Part 1 Pro

09:46 - Part 2 Cons

13:26 - Overall

Pro

Visually, it looks good

Like the open world approach

Weapon duration is an improvement thanks to the fuse feature

Multiple ways to approach the situation

Cons

Though an improvement in weapon duration can be an issue to some

Although frame rate is stable (runs at 30fps on Switch 1), there are times it can have issues/dips

Might not appeal to those who didn’t enjoy Breath of the Wild

Pro

Runs well on the PS5 (and on Series S as well)

Gameplay is similar to Breath of the Wild & Tears of the Kingdom

Like Zenless Zone Zero, it's one of the better gotcha/free-to-play games

Cons

Visuals are ok, but not as good as Zenless Zone Zero

Wish there was an offline mode

Note to Parents: Castlevania Nocturne is rated TV-MA here in the USA - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14833612/parentalguide/?ref_=tt_ov_at_pl_pg

Cast & Crew - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14833612/fullcredits/?ref_=ttpg_ov_ql_1

My take on season 1 - https://youtu.be/7CvqkCd_5I0?si=WnZRNryGjpK0EJHR

00:00 - Intro

02:48 - What I like

05:20 - What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure

07:16 - Overall

What I like

Animations/Art style still hold up

Like how Maria sorta loses it

Like that, we got a bit of a backstory on Drolta

Alucard is still my favorite character

What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure

Would have loved to see a battle between Richer and Olrox

Hoping for a season 3
