✓ Same family of third-person Action RPGs: deep RPG systems, action RPG combat and adventure storytelling

≠ Where it differs: brings Metroidvania exploration, open world exploration and exploration and discovery

The close of the Lords of Shadow trilogy, alternating a weakened Dracula between his castle and a modern city, with the same weighty whip combat as the first game plus magic and platforming. Its reputation is deserved in one specific way: the modern-city stealth sections are widely disliked, and the game is poor at signposting where to go or what an acquired item is for.

The third game in a series, it holds nothing back from the player. Open world adventures of the renowned monster slayer Geralt of Rivia are now even on a larger scale.

✓ Fits the third-person Action RPGs cluster, with deep RPG systems, action RPG combat and adventure storytelling

≠ Where it differs: brings historical setting, while skipping dark, oppressive atmosphere

A level-based hack-and-slash built around three characters with genuinely different movesets and an upgrade system tied to combo scoring. It cuts between film footage and play well for its era. It is short and entirely linear — a handful of hours, no exploration, and boss fights that come down to memorising a single pattern.

It predates Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Ultimate Edition by 11 years, with what that implies technically.
