    Soul Hackers 2 is one of Atlus’ best games to date. The story is compelling and rooted in familiar dark themes while avoiding the fluff to be a sharper experience. It refreshes the gameplay of Persona 5 with streamlined changes to make it approachable for a wider audience. Its parallels to Atlus’ most recent JRPGs mean it offers more of the same thrilling style along with the same minor faults. Still, Shin Megami Tensei fans will love this game.

    ATLUS managed to surprise us again. Drawing on a hybrid system between Shin Megami Tensei and Persona, the studio has packaged an articulated and galvanizing role-playing experience, which has nothing to envy to the best JRPGs of recent years. If the Tregenda proved to be an excellent alternative to the now classic All-Out-Attack, embellishing and renewing an already articulated and profound combat system such as the "Press Turn" System, the Demonic Reconnaissance has instead been able to significantly streamline the exploratory component, as well as the collection of funds, materials and the recruitment of new Demons. On the flip side, the cross-gen nature and an inorganic artistic direction prevented the product from aiming for excellence, demonstrating once again how much ATLUS needs to improve in terms of graphics and performance. Ultimately Soul Hackers 2 may not be the new Persona 5, but that's just fine.

    Soul Hackers 2 is a surprising sequel. But another surprising thing is its accessibility and openness to the new players of the whole Shin Megami Tensei franchise. If this is to be your first one, it’s an excellent step to take.

    Soul Hackers 2 it's a good game with some annoying issues. At it's core, Atlus new sci-fi JRPG it's an high-stakes 35/40 hours adventure with a charismatic and well written cast of characters, a protagonist - Ringo - which is both fun and interesting, and an enjoyable combat system. However, as a dungeon crawler, the game gets repetitive fairly quickly, and doesn't do enough to keep the player's attention high throught it's entire duration. Nonetheless, Soul Hackers 2 it's enjoyable experience, easy to recommend to all the fans of the Megami Tensei franchise, and a great starting point for a new series.

    If not for the interesting cast of characters and beautiful cyberpunk world, Soul Hackers 2 would truly be just a poor man’s Persona game. If you hate grinding in JRPGs, stay away from this one, but if you absolutely love fusing Personas … uh Demons until you find the perfect party, Soul Hackers 2 is quite serviceable in that aspect.

    Soul Hackers 2 is good news for fans of Persona and Shin Megami Tensei, a JRPG that, despite not reaching the excellence of its more direct predecessors, delivers a remarkable experience that knows how to find its own space within the demonic universe of Atlus .

    A frustrating mix of the best and worst of Persona results in a disappointing Shin Megami Tensei spin-off that prioritises streamlined gameplay over innovation.

A few months back, we invested our retirement money into a cryptocurrency investment platform BTCglobal and were hoping to make huge returns from our investment, after some weeks when it was time to withdraw our money, they requested we pay 20% or lose everything. We reported it to the authorities and they told us it was a scam and our money is lost forever. We were depressed not until a friend of ours told us about Spyweb Cyber, a reputable cryptocurrency recovery company that can help us recover everything. We contacted them and provided the information they needed, and in the space of 48 hours, our funds were recovered. We are truly grateful that such a company as Spyweb exists. This is their contact information if you need their help.

    Was on the fence until I got to play it first-hand. True successor to the original Soul Hackers. This being a devil summoner and not aWas on the fence until I got to play it first-hand. True successor to the original Soul Hackers. This being a devil summoner and not a mainline or persona game which everyone will compare to it. Devil Summoner has had solid advancements in making its on mark on Megaten series. This games adds a new fresh interface and new but enduring characters while being in a similar setting of Soul Hackers but tons of new approaches to the gameplay. For instance in soul hack 1 you picked and fused you demon party while in 1st person without seeing more than a icon sign when choosing a party members actions. This game takes that approach and makes it sparkle by adding animations for summoners and summons but as a successor it in fact let's you use actions as skills from demon equipped so its pretty similar to the original but goes for its on style from to pieces. Overall very engaging story with heartfelt voice acting in english. Yes I play in English because we have to support the effort of atlus localization. These are top tier voice actors from the small pull we have in the states. Thank you for reading my review.… Expand

We experienced an interesting story with many ideas and moments.
