If you’ve ever heard about the series and wanted to see what all the fuss was about, it’s hard to imagine a better entry point, while series veterans should love that it’s got style and action to spare.
Attack on Titan 2 is an interesting sequel as it chooses to retell the anime's story from the beginning and reuses a whole lot of assets and maps that existed in the previous game. While several smaller features have been added, it sometimes lacks originality. Fortunately, the core Titan combat is as satisfying and addictive as ever.
Something I've seen lot on some sites is that there isn't a lot new about this entry and that's just not true. Allow me to list what's new in AoT 2:
New additions include: a 'what-if' story that allows you to make your own character and play through season 1, season 2 + a secret chapter, multiplayer (finally), lots of new and interesting weapons, a ton of new unlockable playable… Expand
Game is amazing. Way better than the first. If you like the anime it is a must buy PERIOD. All these children giving low scores are just cod players.
Anyone saying there is nothing new here is an idiot or liar. I guarantee they didn't finish the game. This game goes over the first season just like the last game then covers all of the second season.
Attack on Titan 2 is one of the best Omega Force games so far, offering a great sense of depth and intense battles against the titans. The coop and competitive game modes add fun and longevity to the experience.
Attack on Titan 2 is pure fanservice. Omega Force an Koei Tecmo have made a title clearly focused on anime fans. But it is undeniable that development is not surprising and it is certainly repetitive. Even so, it will please, and very much so, the fans of the work of Hajime Isayama.
Attack on Titan 2 has an action-packed campaign that fans of the show will enjoy along with a pretty fun multiplayer mode, even if does look a bit outdated and the traversal system can prove to be more challenging than taking down a Titan.
Attack on Titan 2 could easily have been a remaster of the first Attack on Titan, since most of the content is the same as the original title. There is virtually nothing here to justify a new purchase.
So far, it's my favorite game and after 4 years I can't get enough of playing it.
There's so much content and it's almost infinite and the story mode is pretty immersive. The graphics is ok and the battle gameplay feels like being part of the anime. This second DLC adds a lot more to the base game and it makes it even more better.
As someone who played the first AoT for +50 hours, I must say this one doesn't feel like a brand new game. AoT 2 includes the first and second season from the anime, the problem is that the second season is very short compared to the first, and the first season was already covered by AoT 1, so if you played the first game, things on AoT 2 may only get interesting after half of the story mode.
The excuse to repeat the first season here is that you can now create your own soldier and see the game through his/her perspective, but everything is pretty much the same. Putting a player-created character on this game feels like reading a "reader insert" fan fic at some parts (like when leveling up friendship status with characters).
Plus, get the best weapons and skills on this game take hours of unnecessary farming. Of course that get a good weapon shouldn't be easy task on a game, but spend +20 hours replaying missions and farming materials on the hardest difficult setting only to get a decent sword is a little too much, there are better ways to make it challenging without being tedious (and it's even worse if you're a completionist/trophy hunter).
Anyway, this game is for the anime/manga fans, and it's fun if you just want to beat the story mode and move on. In my opinion, they should have waited the third season before releasing AoT 2, so more content would be available.
These games are just bad. These are typically PS style games with Japanese themes but they are just so cheezy its hard to take these game seriously. As a none fan of anime playing this game was like torture. Good lord is it boring, weird, and uninteresting. The gameplay was like trying to play a broken Goat simulator game mixed with gravity rush. Its just bad. The graphics looked bad on PS4 Pro. The Pro just hasn't lived up to what it should be. The Xbox version is better looking on the X yet just as ****
For those wondering why this game has such a negative review, it's because it's not truly "Attack on Titan 2," but rather, "Attack on Titan Remastered," and should've really been named and marketed as such. The game, while done from the perspective of a custom character, covers the same missions as the first game, and even goes as far as to reuse the same cutscenes. While the game has a stronger combat design and a refined visual appearance, it is at heart 80% the same as the first game. Those who have played the first game need not purchase.
SummaryBased on the anime series and building on the fast-paced action the series is famous for, ATTACK ON TITAN 2 is the sequel to 2016's action game and features new gameplay mechanics. Players once again don the renowned Omni-Directional Manoeuver Gear as they fight and repel the fearsome Titans that threaten humanity, to restore peace withi...
