Pros: ✅ A somewhat average story. ✅ Boss fights are difficult. ✅ Plenty of gore. ✅ Cheats (many different ones, including god mode). ✅ The legacy version is included in the main game folder if you don’t like the remaster. ✅ Achievements. Cons: ❌ After the first BloodRayne game, I had high hopes for this one, but unfortunately it did not deliver. ❌ Poorly designed combat (I turned on god mode after the second main …

Unfortunately a pretty big downgrade over the first game. The main problem is they tried to make the game look flashy by having smooth animations. The problem is these are really slow, too slow for group fights to work properly and usually devolves into a mess and you getting knocked down over and over. Combos are lame. Some enemies you fight are just a copy of your moves 1 to 1. Boss fights are either frustrating …

This is not a GOOD game. It has aged even worse than the first when it comes to the gameplay department. Slap that godmode cheat on and enjoy a lost cult classic video game character that really needs a reboot. It's time. If Stellar Blade and Nier Automata can capture everyones' hearts then Rayne can as well.

4/10 >>Fun game. But once you've played the first chapter, you've played the whole game.<< Bloodrayne 2 is ultimately long-winded and kinda repetative. Though it does make the most of that deliciously dark, gritty, irresitibly 90s vamp aesthetic ...you will quickly find that every level boils down to: throw X number of goons into X fan to unlock next area > Tedious boss fight > New gun type/enemy spawn type > …

As a kid I was in love with Rayne and the first game left a huge impression on me. I never played BloodRayne 2 before, but now that I finally did – I’m blown away. 🔥 The game is stylish, dark, and brutal, exactly what I wanted. The controls and camera do feel a bit old, but the atmosphere and Rayne as a character make up for it. If you’re into vampires or nostalgia, this is absolutely worth it.

neutral · AI labelView post →Anyway, here's the kinda incredible PlayStation 2 intro for the Æon Flux video game, which was made in just 9 months, to help promote the Charlize Theron movie. Developer Terminal Reality built it on their Bloodrayne 2 engine. I'd love to see someone return to this weird game #gaming #retro #PS2 🎮

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played the first BloodRayne which was rough on certain parts in my opinion, but I was totally into it. After that I was really excited for BloodRayne 2 and at first it looked better on paper, because this game have proper cutscenes which looks and sounds alright, the soundtrack was okay too, and with that the game has an edgy style, which is not for everyone but it's good for the series and I liked it too. The game also trying to build more on to the story and introduce different characters,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Celebrating the anniversary of the first commercial game I worked on: Bloodrayne 2 came out twenty years ago? Sheesh💀 It's a very campy B-movie romp, with elements I still think really fondly of. But more than anything, I'm grateful for the skills I learned and the folks I met on that project.
positive · AI labelView post →Warning for everyone, none of the games in this trilogy play like each other. Bloodrayne 1: Max Payne clone Bloodrayne 2: More traditional action game Bloodrayne Betrayal: Wayforward
neutral · AI labelView post →Excellent remaster my only disappointment is that Rayne, despite being a powerful vampire dominatrix icon, did not peg me nor refer to me as her good boy. Please patch otherwise, an outstanding game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A cult classic and still stands pretty well for 2025, I do recommend it for nostalgics and for new players as well. Full Game Walkthrough: https://youtu.be/YzyN_XzoPEE
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is awesome. Its such a great sequel and improves on the original in so many ways. Yeah, theres still a lot of ps2 era jank thats going to make you pull your hair out sometimes, but for a fan of classic games the juice is worth the squeeze. bloodrayne is such a interesting series and we need it to come back, there is a lot of potential here and i really think a bloodrayne game with modern technology and game design would go so hard. bring it back, please.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it's actually a crime that they have not continued this franchise! 10/10 experience, amazing gameplay and entertaining as hell for such an old school game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really, really want to like this game. The graphics are nice, there's quite a bit of attention to detail in terms of environmental interactions, you get some pretty cool powers, and some of the levels are kind of neat too. Unfortunately the platforming is pretty clunky at times and the game overall is just way too freaking hard. Even with cheats turned on I was still getting stunlocked and tossed around the room like crazy by the bigger enemies and it dragged the game out a little too much.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →avoid. absolutely unplayable, for several reasons related to the game itself, and some things this re-release should have fixed/addressed. the absolutely minimum amount of effort was put into this release. here's what i noticed, in no particular order: 1. just like bloodrayne 1's terminal cut, if you're one of the many many people running two monitors, this game does not constrain the mouse cursor to the window, often causing you to click out of the game when you attack. the first game has a…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Controls terribly for platforming sections. Fights and checkpoints are horribly imbalanced...especially before boss fights...requiring long replays should you lose. Not fun. Graphics have not aged well at all.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A lot of people seem to forget or mistake this game for a remake while it's just a visual uplift. I've beaten this game numerous times on the prior build on a CD out of pure nostalgia for it. I would love to see this game actually Remade/Remastered, whatever you wanna call it. Use new VAs if you have to, do whatever you want Terminal Reality, if this game came out looking like DMC5 and worked just like it, with the same story but reworked encounters, maps, puzzles, everything. I BEG OF YOU,…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tried out a bit of Bloodrayne 2 for a bit of nostalgia to my very odd childhood. This game is... just as silly and "naughty" as I remember. This game still fucking rules, though.
positive · AI labelView post →I gotta say, Bloodrayne 2 is not as good as first one. There was just something about checking nazis off the kill list, that this one does not have. Sure, it starts at lavish party with some BDSM individuals, but the start feels slow. But I got through it and when the hell door opened and I started killing ancient vampires in zoo while bee demons were pestering me, now that was fun. The game truly saves the best for the last. There are a lot of cut off limbs and blood as well, which is always…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My opinion on this game is mixed. I do recommend it, but ONLY to people who enjoy hack&slash genre and reallyyy want to relieve that edgy early 2000's era – perhaps after consuming too many Underworld movies. Positives: You play as a hot and badass vampire lady Mostly fun combat The moveset is very acrobatic and flashy A variety of brutal finishers after you grab an enemy More... hot vampire chicks (Rayne's two half-sisters) Game works fine, without any noticeable issues Negatives:…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Only for fans of the series. Story's fine, with some cool moments. The graphical improvement is... almost not worth mentioning. I liked the extra costumes, mind you, that was a neat touch. I suspect the reason this game has cheats is because of the miserable slog the gameplay manages to be. Its greatest issue by far is the constant demand for precision, which the game itself is unable to manage. The platforming has been worsened by a finnicky snap-to mechanic and the removal of the forward…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →BloodRayne 2: Terminal Cut is a remastered version of the cult-classic third-person action game originally released in 2004. Developed by Terminal Reality and brought back to modern systems by Ziggurat Interactive, this edition gives long-time fans a chance to revisit Rayne’s blood-soaked journey with updated visuals and improved compatibility. As the follow-up to the original BloodRayne, this sequel deepens the gameplay systems, expands the narrative scope, and refines its presentation—though…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wow, my expectations were pretty high after completing the first game. It wasn't great, but lengths better than this. What do I mean? The combat kinda improved and yet got worse. It's smoother and more in depth, but the balance is way off. You have to slash enemies a million times and a few hits kill you. The first game at least gave you guns to get rid of enemies fast, this game gives you 2 pistols that barely do damage and have to be reloaded by sucking off dudes. Then there's the…

neutral · AI labelView post →Sometimes the games that you played as a kid are as bad as you remember. And when I look at the achievement list and see that the first real boss of the game was beat only by 12% of the players I feel even more disappointed. Stiff combat, grey graphics and those HORRIBLE sections where you have to use your hook to throw people in spike.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great gameplay with the sexy Rayne! This game needs a remake asap!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Rayne spends most of the time on her back through the game, not for what you're probably thinking but because of the atrocious stunlock combat. Parkour is terrible, especially as you're being shot at whenever it occurs. Guns can only be aimed directly in front of you, at your level, so any enemy a foot higher than you can just pick you off. Overall, not as fun to play as the first game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →so... starts strong - smoother combat, better visuals, i was actually having fun. BUT THEN THE SAME BRAINDEAD DEGENERATE DESIGNER SHOWS HIS HAND (the second one must've been sacrificed to Valorant). Platfoming turns into nightmare, balance suffocates the fun, and by act 3 the combat is already dead boring noooooo ♥♥♥♥. Its' better than the first on paper, but worse in practice, because the improvements only expose how broken the core really is. ✅Pros - Rayne - Slashing Nazis is always…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is unique and quirky with its design. There were noticeable effort put into many aspect of the game. However the implementation is really bad. The melee combat is so janky with questionable hit registrations. The platform is so janky, unresponsive and they often put a bunch of ranged dudes at platforming sections. The harpoon is slow and lame, didn't help that it is also so janky that often just don't work properly. To add salt to the injury, the harpoon throw gimmick is so overly…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm really trying to like it but the combat is poorly balanced. Gameplay was good during the first level, but enemies you encounter in later parts of the game are really badly designed. They armor through your attacks, you have to deal with them in a very specific way which barely works anyway. Your guns are extremely weak, your blades hit like wet noodles and you have to constantly grab every street thug in order to refill your life/ammo/rage bar which gets old really fast. First game had…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't really know how to describe this one. Is it good? Not really. My thoughts were how did they somehow make it worse than the first game. But you could argue it's better. One of the rare times I'm stumped. I enjoyed the first game and I like this IP now inexplicably. Maybe it's just the 2000s nostalgia and the hot vampire girl. They were so ambitious with this one and it was in the right direction but the execution was pretty awful. There's tons of moves, the guns are more defined and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I tried to play this game twice but each time I came away shaking my head because the combat is so overwhelmingly difficult. At some point about 3 hours into the game I tried using cheats to restore my health because the boss fights were just an absolute nightmare and I kept having to restart the entire checkpoint. But even with cheats I just couldn't survive very well. I find it weird because visually it's a massive improvement over the first game (which I gave a thumbs up) but the play style…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No one can resist Rayne in her evening gown. Don't know what happened during the development, but the game feels rushed: story, gameplay. Maybe it was luck that the first game was successful or devs didn't realize what made it so. I can't advise this game for soft gaymers/normies, it's 6.5 out of 10 game, it has interesting ideas and improvements, but gameplay 97,5% will make you drop the game, it was more free and fun in the first one, here you need to try hard to enjoy it. Only for fans or…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I 100%ed this game in preparation for a personal project where I'm watching every single Uwe Boll movie, so of course I have to play the games that he has movies based on FIRST. BloodRayne 2 is much better than BloodRayne 1 in almost every single way, the story is better, the gameplay is WAY better, and it also didn't make me break my entire desk like the first one did.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolutely love the BloodRayne series and have been a fan since my mom showed me the 1st on PS2, from there it was something I always adored. Never got around to the games until much later and again love them for the controls, physics (even though they're janky at times). The atmosphere the games have are amazing and I can only hope for a new BloodRayne game like I can hope for a new Legacy of Kain game. Really love that the community got a nice treat with all the games getting modern day…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has such classic and stylish hack n' slash game play. The fatalities are hilarious and the characters are iconic. Bloodrayne got so much flack for the movies, but no one understands how rare characters like Rayne are these days. Bloodrayne should come back and dominate the hack n' slash market. A gamer can dream.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty good game it evolves from the first one a bit but not enough to make me say its better then the first. Theirs way too much jank especially with the camera and far to many throwing bodies into something blockades. If you liked the first you'll like this one, though compared to the first one this wasn't for me gameplay wise.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Having half the gameplay be throwing people to, onto or into things or bringing things down with your chain and other half swinging from poles to poles, isn't as fun as you can think it would, but there's Rayne so it's pretty enjoyable. Less soul and variety than the first one, losing some of the identity to be an average action game made for consoles. From a time perspective it at least holds on alright, has Rayne, good outfits, extras with concept arts and juggy mode. It could use less…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you liked the first one, don't play this one. They've gone and ♥♥♥♥♥♥ with everything that made the first one fun. Blocking is mandatory, but only works a quarter of the time, you will get stunlocked into oblivion by the basic enemies, the damage on the guns has been nerfed to oblivion, and you'll need a walkthrough on your phone or on another monitor, because theres no real conveyance of what the player is supposed to do to get to the next point.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wish I could enjoy Bloodrayne 2. It always felt worse than the first one - but I thought, maybe I was too young back then to really appreciate it. After trying it again after those years I must say the acrobatics part of the game is just pure misery. It's killing the flow of the game and it is so frustrating. Not to mention sometimes Rayne will just do whatever she wants during those sections with how clunky controls are. Gore is alright - amount of blood also seems fitting for a vampire…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The parkour is ass, mc has less power than first game, story sucks.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm torn, because while BloodRayne 2 has better gameplay, the first game has a better story. The game overall is good, but it's clear that it was designed before Tomb Raider Legend was published, movement feels clunky.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Definitely a good action game. I like it. Decent graphics, good combat, cool story, nice environment interactions, great music, good level design, right atmosphere and aestetics, outstanding characters design, interesting enemies types, blood and gore, extreme violence, sexy ladies... Feels like a proper sequel. Although I don't think it was a good idea to add platformer-like elements, it's the most annoying thing in this game and just a waste of my time. In some cases it's not quite clear…
