   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.… Expand

   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.… Expand

   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 inSomething 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 characters (over 20 new), vastly improved UI, a few new special titans, an even better and more streamlined ODM system, new flashy attacks like the scoped sneak attack and air jump attack, a suite of new missions, season 1 cutscenes have been redone to match the anime 1:1, a lot new costumes (DLC and in-game), the friend and skill systems, base building and upgrading bases, Another Mode in which you can play as and level up your favorite characters from the series, graphics that recreate the feel of the anime, and an overhauled mission system.
   
   All of this is apparent within the first hour of playing. Really recommended for fans of anime or those who are looking to get into it. AoT2 packs plenty of new stuff whether this is your jumping in point or if you were left wanting more after the first game-- and it all runs beautifully on whatever version you choose be it a PS4, an XB1, or even on PC.… Expand

Graphics are very nice and live up to the show! Gameplay is what you expect, it's the same thing over and over but if it was anything else it would defeat the purpose! I would really like to play as a Titan as well as a scout on a third entry!… Expand

   It's not bad but there's really nothing that has changed. There are some improvements but it just feels like those are minor tweaks.

If you're a fan of AOT then you will have a lot of fun with this game and at least its better than the first game. To the people who didn't buy the first game then you will play a much more polished game while for others who bought the first one then it will feel like a letdown.… Expand

   If you liked the first game the second improves upon it in almost every fashion but for a few strange design decisions. Until the most recentIf you liked the first game the second improves upon it in almost every fashion but for a few strange design decisions. Until the most recent patch (as of this review) combat was often stilted by slowdown induced when initiating an attack but now that it can be toggled off the combat feels fast and manic again.
   
   Added are character friendship levels and rewards for them which unlock skills or other useful items to use. You can even pick your favorite character and ask them to go on a scouting mission with you if you want to raise their friendship ranking or just like to run around with the character.
   
   The most important thing about these levels of friendships are slice-of-life (such as it is) for the cadets in 104th where you see characters who receive little to no characterization in even the manga (Mikasa) have development and their own relationships with other characters, dilemmas, or just get to know them a bit more. You get to see more of the characters being people than just characters. Daily interactions or challenges and it really does add a level of character development that the manga and anime lack in. It's actually really great if you're a fan of the series.
   
   The combat is much the same, the missions are much the same, but for the addition of all shifters being able to shift as a special ability, From The Colossal Titan to the Armored Titan to the Dancing (Jaw) Titan, they all have separate, limited movesets.
   
   The biggest issue with this game, however, is how they have decided to change the dire abrnomals. What once might have been armor or fur or just a lot of HP is now a second bar of 'stamina' you wear down by striking specifically glowing limbs until the shield is broken and you can actually do good damage to them. This meter builds back up fairly quick. Of course, the fewer limbs that target has means there are few places you have to specifically attack to break this bar but it's usually just easier to worry about killing them outright.
   
   Using specific buddy-action attacks can instantly remove this stamina bar to continue attacking them but it IS still costing a buddy action that could be used to deal raw damage to the unprotected titan itself. One new thing is that you can now 'capture' titans for research purposes both for collection purposes, new battle item unlocks, and some decent money. Doing this requires a buddy in your squad with the appropriate buddy action or using the capture net item which is only capable of being used on titans after their legs have been severed.
   
   Perhaps the oddest addition to your arsenal are the 'sneak attacks' you can line up by bringing out a spyglass and setting your sights on a titan. Attacking when prompted will quickly send you hurtling in for what will almost always be an instant kill but you must time your attack so that you are not too early or too late if you wish to pull it off. While this can occasionally be handy in just getting rid of annoying titans knotted up in a group you must dismantle it generally does little to add to the game. It is also the quickest way to make a titan extremely angry at you and focus entirely upon you. When titans focus on you in this state of rage your camera is forcibly locked on them (making navigating away from them a pain) and in many cases it seems like they can notice you just a bit too easily.
   
   If you're practiced enough, dodging grabs or attacks by titans will put you into a special animation and open up the titan for a special attack that will deal massive damage to it if not kill it outright. These are fun, cool bits of finesse for your character to show off in but can seem a bit out of place given at least one of them is a well known attack used once in the series by a particular character.
   
   Missions are still mostly repetitive with the additions of being able to build various bases (mining, automatic or manual artillery, supply depots, towers made to explode when attacked by a titan, stat-boosting towers when you are within a specific proximity, towers that place items in your inventory or flares for building more bases, or outright damage buffs for all of your attacks)
   
   If you're a fan of the series give it a look, it's really cool to make your own character and develop bonds with others. If you liked the first game I would say this is a must buy although the price is admittedly a little steep.… Expand
