So I'm bumping this for those still interested. I'm obviously in Day 1, Soul Hackers 2 is among my more anticipated games to play this year. I noticed a few aggregate score sites aren't updating or including more scores so here are a few more.
Sure they are more obscure and like the latter more weeb friendly(which is fine by me, they also cover a lot of visual novels). I think the GameXplain vid is perhaps more accurate for critique though, I can appreciate anyone giving their honest opinion. I suspect like the original this will be an enjoyable romp for me and rate highly. The reviewer's main complaints were the dungeons and limited music, though they mentioned that the music was good just that the game would have benefited from more tunes, especially for dungeon variety. Also the usual Day 1 DLC that's really cut content. To me the main problem the game faces is the lack of budget as it shows throughout. But I know I'm going to like it, the tunes, art, characters, turn-based combat and story. Also the game is not particularly long which is a nice bonus for me.
I also want to throw a shout out for Dusk Diver 2. Its been out in Asia and pc for a little while now, but will hit Switch and PS4 on the 30th. I imported it before it was confirmed for a western release and it was a fun time, the other characters are playable now in combat as opposed to just being assists. Its an action game with some lite rpg elements, inspired by Atlus games to a degree in terms of running around a city, not much else.
I'll be bouncing between Soul Hackers 2 and SD Gundam Battle Alliance this week.
