** Bushes makes eliminating enemies in Union trivially easy, as unless there's touching you, going into a bush makes you disappear from their vision entirely.

Nor does a silent majority that likes what they like (or hates what they hate) but doesn't make a big deal about it."


* BrokenBase: Neither Joseph or Ruvik show up in this game outside of cameos, which made a small but vocal part of the fan community ''furious''.

** Harbingers are the absolute worst. They have absolutely [[DamageSponge massive health]], have ridiculous range and damage output with their flamethrowers and take at least '''three''' Stealth Attacks to kill. However, it’s nigh impossible to sneak up on them, as they constantly jog around the area and flail their bodies around wildly as they spray the area with their flamethrowers. [[TheAllSeeingAi 9 times out of 10, they will notice Sebastian behind them; even if he avoids their gaze and makes no sound whatsoever]].

[[TheAllSeeingAi 9 times out of 10, they will notice Sebastian behind them; even if he avoids their gaze and makes no sound whatsoever]]. Dealing with them becomes a little easier if you know that when going for a stealth attack, you only need to get with a few meters away before sprinting towards them tapping the stealth attack button.

* HellIsThatNoise: From the shrieking PsychoStrings when you're spotted by an enemy, to the Guardian's insane laughing and screaming, to Anima's spooky singing of "Clair de Lune" and her ghostly wails, the game's audio is every bit as disturbing as its imagery.

** The "Hags", the otherwise nameless Lost variant who resemble scraggly old women with knives. They're a lot faster and tougher than normal Lost, requiring two Stealth Attacks to put down and eating a lot of ammo otherwise. The worst thing about them? They're immune to the cover provided by Smoke Bolts, meaning you can't use those to escape or more easily ambush them. Fortunately, they stop showing up fairly early into the game.

* GameBreaker: Smoke Bolts for the Crossbow, once you've leveled them up to the 3rd rank and gained the ability to Stealth Kill enemies caught inside of them. They make taking down Harbingers a ''lot'' easier, and a deft player can drop one into a mass of ordinary enemies and proceed to slaughter about half a dozen of them before the smoke fades. Run out of range, launch a new bomb, rinse and repeat.

** The Bullet Cascade is an incredibly useful upgrade, as it grants an increasing damage boost for every successful hit you score in sequence, even across multiple targets. As you may have reckoned, its effect with the Assault Rifle is downright ''devastating'' on enemy weak points.

* ThatOneBoss: For being the first real boss of the game, Stefano can be a pain on your first run. He’s fought in a gallery where there’s not a lot of room to move and is made even smaller by his huge monster that he has observing the fight. It will randomly smack the ground, limiting where you can go and taking off a huge amount of health. As for Stefano himself, he plants exploding cubes around the arena and can freeze you with his camera to make you a sitting duck. Not to mention that he [[TeleportSpam teleports]] constantly and has a difficult-to-dodge charge attack that wrecks your health. Hope you got some upgrades in, or you’ll be in for one nasty fight.

* ThatOneLevel: [[spoiler:The journey to Theodore's stronghold]] is an Escort Mission, but that's not what makes it aggravating. What does it is that your surroundings are wreathed in intense flames that obscure numerous well-hidden Disciples, who have a knack for picking whatever direction you ''aren't'' currently looking in to rush at you.

* ContestedSequel: The changes made to Sebastian's personality and design, the game's atmosphere, the forefront presence of Mobius, and the absence of Joseph have pushed the game into this. For a part of the fanbase on Tumblr, it's a major case of {{Sequelitis}}. For others, however, the game is considered an EvenBetterSequel.
