Just finished RoE, so my impressions are fresh like prince of Bel-Air. First of all, new monsters are simply unoriginal and bland. More powerful version of the Imp is the worst idea ever.
The levels are okay, but encounter design is very bad. For example in the room with a power plant, that giant plasma beam in the middle of a room, those new lost souls fly out, one by one, from the top of the beam, and you just stand in one place and casually snipe them with MG. G-sec guys probably received lobotomy from Nerve, because they almost always acted extremely scripted and stupid. Spam of Revenants in the late game also wasn't cool, made me wish i was in Hell (already).
Grappling gun is a cheap and lame gimmick, both in HL2 and RoE. Someday I'll write a whole article on this subject.
Artifact is overpowered and developers throw an unrealistic traps at you right after you get the slow-mo.
First boss is cool, the second one is too easy (hmmm, giant red heart in the chest of a boss, i wonder where should i shoot, oh, thanks camera close up), same for the third. But that's because, you know, Artifact is too powerful.
The game is mediocre at best.
