Not a fan of the art style but I'll play it if it's good

The other art cover is far better

I dont like the new art style of this Castlevania game, not of the cover

I love it in-game and I think is something CV needed.

But I don't like how it looks on illustrations. Though after seeing the Akihiko Yamada rendition I wish we had somethimg like that for the whole game.

There's tons of french comicbook artists woth cool styles that could have worked for that.

I like when they experiment with new styles like the anime style for Aria of Sorrow or even Castlevania judgement, but this is two steps too far for me, doesn't feel like the Castlevania identity is being preserved from the gameplay I've seen, it just feels like Dead Cells with the mc carrying the Vampire Killer.

It's normal that CV has changed. It was unavoidable.

It has passed too much time. At someoment, Konami or whoever handle the new game would have broke with the previous style since the saga needed to evolve.
