Hunter: The Reckoning 2 - Wayward - Joshua Matthews ~ Wayward Part 1 (No Death)

Character: Joshua Matthews
Creed: Wayward

Hunter: The Reckoning - Wayward is the 2nd game in the trilogy of the underrated gem. However, it was developed for Sony Playstation 2 instead, unlike the original which was debuted in Microsoft XBOX first followed by Nintendo Gamecube which is rather a bummer.
Game mechanic is the same as the original, but there are few changes.
(1) Basic range weapons now have limited ammos. Another bummer.
(2) Multiplayer is limited to 2 players instead of 4 originally. Even more bummer.
(3) Controls are different such that you can switch between melee and range weapons easily. This can be good for beginners and also easier for weapons management during combat, but I rather stick to the old controls as it can get confusing whether the button is special or my melee weapon when attacking. Overall, another bummer to me but not that as much as the first two points.
(4) Unused characters' experience are still progressing. This is the only good part of this game compared to its predecessor and successor because you can switch characters anytime you want too. However, you should be expecting that their progress will not be as much as the ones you used.
(5) Also, objectives of this 2nd game is not as clear cut as compared to the prequel and sequel so real bummer again.

Joshua Matthews is a new character to the series that serves as the whole plot of the 2nd game. He was the male "damsel in distress" that our original hunters were supposed to save, and therefore he was only unlockable only after defeating the Werewolf boss. That is when in the story that he joins the original 4 members.
Joshua's has one of the best melee but not as good as "Deuce". His melee is important in the early part of the games and his 1st edge is the same as "Deuce" that allows him to power up his melee weapon.
His 2nd edge is where he shines in boss battles but I did not realise it until the Witch boss. Use it wisely because it allows his range weapon to deal a lot of damage for a limited time when he inflict on the targeted enemy. Too bad it is not as long as the 1st edge or else it will be broken.
Range weapon is quite decent as well, but Kassandra & Samantha are still better in this aspect.
