Soul Hackers 2

[b]C+ — Ringo deserved a less repetitive game around her[/b] [i]Stopped around Ozaki Hope Towers, then read the remaining story.[/i] Ringo was the main reason I wanted Soul Hackers 2 to work. Her personality and performance gave me someone to enjoy spending time with, and the cyberpunk setting had an appeal of its own. The premise had enough potential to keep me interested early on. Unfortunately, the dungeon routine gradually swallowed that enthusiasm. Weakness targeting, demon skills, affinities and COMP upgrades offer some useful preparation. I enjoyed thinking about coverage and adjusting loadouts, but the battles never became exciting enough to carry the rest of the experience. Compared with the stronger Persona and Shin Megami Tensei games, I found fewer reasons to keep experimenting once the basics were established. The Soul Matrix was the decisive problem. Its repeated dungeon structure wore thin, and placing character backstory behind those separate visits made it harder to enjoy the material I actually wanted. I wanted relationships to develop through the adventure. Too often, the game asked me to leave that adventure for another repetitive stretch before giving me mo…

I brought Soul Hackers 2 almost 3 years ago. After my first time playing, I tried to continue on another PC. For some reason my save data doesn't transfer onto Steam Cloud like 99% of all the games on Steam, so I am locked on to playing on one device. Why Atlus hasn't taken a moment for fix such an easy issue when there are so many complaints is beyond me. I haven't played the game since that day nearly 3 years ago. If you can play it on Xbox's app instead of steam, you cloud saves may work there.

brutal annoying gameplay design. constant enemy spawns and unfair mechanics.. man the other atlus games are so good, but this one is an arrow in the knee.

Good game, dungeons sucks though. Ringo is amazing, she's one of the reasons why this game isn't totally bad. play it with JP Voices, English voices acting is very mid sometimes. had a good time with it, Not worth sixty bucks. buy it on sale.

The game's characters and world-building are well done, and the background music is pleasant; I enjoyed the game. Unfortunately, the story is weak, and shortening the game time would have been ideal.

This is an excellent game that will appeal to SMT fans more than Persona fans since it skips the whole school life sim thing. It has an interesting concept that explores AI humans (yes, really) and has a great fusion system that makes it easy to find the type of demon you're looking for. Unfairly maligned and criminally ignored IMO and can often be found cheap in sales.
