The different variations you can switch through for your main blade, (Blades of Exile and Hades Claws are all I've gotten so far) add a bit of depth the others didn't have.

The continued use of the Flease and Wings are nice, and I quite like the Idea of having a third bar to use instead of MP for your Arrow and Head of Helios.

Overall it did exactly what a sequal should do. It kept the core gameplay and added on a few things in order to keep the game fresh, all while keeping the same overall feel.

I hear the third blades you get are a blast to use as well.
