Mostly I just felt like it was a weird compromise. It was trying to be difficult like old school Castlevania but didn't have the level design for it and was trying to be Metroidvania but killed the atmosphere and fun of having a huge connected place by having a level select world map thing (I had similar issues with the paintings in Portrait of Ruin). Quite frankly the areas weren't that interesting compared to most other Castelvanias either.
If I want to play a needlessly difficult Metoidvania, that's what I have La Mulana for.
I agree that it was kind of difficult. At least for me, because I didn't have any better weapon... but we did receive a big castle after all. Perhaps it was not as big as in the PoR or Castle A+B in HoD, but it wasn't small either. But I think the Glyphs system was quite interesting. Well... except the Dominus Agony.. that allowed us to kill Dracula within 5 seconds. In fact the cards system in the CotM (though hell annoing) and souls in the A/DoS was interesting too.
