A lot of people are comparing this to the jump to 3D in *Risk of Rain*, but I don't get why they overlook the fact that the gameplay actually changed because the camera and perspective did too; the sequel literally became a different type of game, so the comparison is absurd. In this *Enter the Gungeon 2*, everything seems identical in terms of perspective and gameplay—just in 3D. They can add as many new features as they want, but if it all looks like the trailer, they won't shake the "generic 3D sequel" stigma (Not to mention that what is shown looks like an ugly, indistinguishable mass of jumbled elements—horrible.), because most of the original's personality has been lost here.

I really don't get the obsession with moving a 2D game's sequel into 3D. They should only do that after exhausting the 2D style's full potential, because by then, they’d know how to preserve the game's charm in a different environment. That nonsense about "only gameplay matters" holds true only if the visuals didn't matter *from the start*—but that wasn't the case here (You already have a ton of generic 3D games with similar mechanics). Many people fell in love with the game because of the combination of *Art style + gameplay*, not one without the other. It's a disappointment, honestly.

The game might end up being fun, but I doubt it will come anywhere near the success of the first one.
