For what it's worth, I'd rather have Rez than this. CoE was about what you expect from a Rez sequel but it just did not strike a chord with me.
Though to be honest, about the only thing about Rez that stuck with me were the rushes you got at level end. The bosses there got my pulse pumping, especially the way the music would pulse as you busted through their phases. It gave the whole thing energy and weight. CoE just feels like a breezy drug trip in comparison.
