    Its been my experience of late that the awfulness of modern games is commensurate with the amount of money spent on them. The more spent the crappier the outcome.

    GGC2 proves this in spades. This wonderfully modest little title is clearly not a big budget game nor is it a hard drive hog.

    GGC2 proves this in spades. This wonderfully modest little title is clearly not a big budget game nor is it a hard drive hog. Its simply well designed humorous, "shoot em up" "dodge and dive" fun that kept me engrossed for hours where big budget stinkers like Far Cry 5 left me bored in under 60 minutes.

    It might take a little while to get used to the controls in GGC2 and if you are not a naturally well co-ordinated person you may not like this game. I will add this title does commit the same crime as others at times in so much as it creates a contrived situation that's unfair to make it more difficult. The tank battle is a case in question where the weapons you do have should be enough to defeat it but the developers make you take a fixed route that's far harder. This sort of thing should be left out of games as it add's no value and rightly angers gamer's.

    That said if like me you grew up with scrolling platform games and you were good at them, as I am, you will enjoy this title.

    8/10 from me. Good effort!!!    … Expand

    GGC2 is really an awesome game! Yeah people say it is short (which is true) but seriously at that price, you really get a lot of bang for your buck; it's FUN, provides various types of gun to let your creativity run wild on your enemies, the artwork is very impressive for its genre and the scenario / gameplay is cool. And finally, you get to play co-op with a friend which makes theGGC2 is really an awesome game!

I definitely recommend this game to anyone who likes to play games for simple fun. We truly need more games like this one..… Expand

    Loved the first one, love this one as well.

    The artwork the atmosphere music variety of weapons and enemies controls level of challange and so on... All is 10/10 IMO. It is a short game, but the action is constant, cut-scenes have the perfect lenght and are worth watching witht the humor they have to offer, and there is never a feeling of grind or boredom, so despite the game    Loved the first one, love this one as well.

    It is a short game, but the action is constant, cut-scenes have the perfect lenght and are worth watching witht the humor they have to offer, and there is never a feeling of grind or boredom, so despite the game being completed after 3-4h, it is definetly worth the price.
    I only completed the "Normal" difficulty, and there are 2-3 higher ones, so could imagine that would take much longer, which is something I might test out.

    I hope the developers will keep doing these, with the same or different skins, as long as the same level of quality remains.    … Expand

    What can I say Guns, Gore and Cannoli 2 is massively enjoyable and is worth checking out. This is a very fun side-scrolling action game. I got this title on a Steam sale also their is no online player base..

    Slightly superior to its first game, but with the same flaws and virtues. Personally, it was a bit repetitive and a bit lack of weapons, although the game improves by 200% when you play it with friends locally. This one I would recommend.

    Its hard to hate this game given how much detail has been put into the environments, the weapons are fun and feel good to use and each one can dispatch an enemy or boss with their function. The story is average to say the least its not bad its quite straightforward actually which is good if you wanna get to blasting some wise-guys. The only real bad part is how this game is about 3-4 hoursIts hard to hate this game given how much detail has been put into the environments, the weapons are fun and feel good to use and each one can dispatch an enemy or boss with their function.

    Guns, Gore & Cannoli 2 does absolutely nothing to evolve the genre, but it’s OK. Not every game needs to be innovative, and this Belgian run’n’gun excels at squeezing every drop of fun out of every minute of gameplay using simple means and it looks amazing while doing it. [05/2018, p.54]

    Guns, Gore and Cannoli 2 is a perfect run & gun game for reliving memories and relaxation. The game is filled with fantastic levels, enemies and great "tongue in cheek humor“.

    Guns, Gore & Cannoli 2 is excellent. The classic side-scrolling shooting benefits greatly from the 360-degree aiming, giving you few to no limits in dealing carnage. The presentation is still solid, and the improved co-op mechanics make this a perfect game to play with friends. Shooting fans will have a blast with this one.
