    If you’ve played the first Attack On Titan you’ll have to contend with replaying the first season of the anime/manga again, but the sequel does a much better (and more comprehensive) job of bringing the canon to life in a different medium. Combat is fast, frenetic and exhilarating, but it can get a little repetitive when played with AI teammates. However, camera issues and the occasional drop in framerate aside, Attack On Titan 2 is one of the best action adventures on Switch and the closest we’re going to get to another Monster Hunter on a Nintendo console on the West - for the time being, at least.

    The fact that it recycles so much of the 2016 game’s material means that in order to get to the new season 2 content you must first wade through a rehashed story mode with its dull sidequests and tedious dialogue choices.

    It has its moments, but Attack on Titan 2 descends a little too quickly into repetition.

    Attack on Titan 2 is a generally decent Attack on Titan game. The mechanics and cutscenes capture the essence of the show quite well, making it one of the less-one-note Omega Force games I’ve played. Unfortunately, the story moves at a plodding pace, and the game falls into more unfortunate strides of repetition than I’d hoped for. It could be better, but as 3DS’s Humanity in Chains taught us in 2015, it could also be much worse.

    AOT 2 excels when you're running around and chasing down the titans. It's a shame to have to break that up with worrying about having to purchase and upgrade weapons - the game should feel more backs-to-the-wall, so the emphasis should have been more on the action.

    AoT2’s Switch port is an admirable effort, but there are just too many concessions made to get it working. The developers had the chance to go the extra mile to use HD Rumble while flying with the ODM but the implementation is lacklustre.

    Attack on Titan is one of my favorite anime/manga series of all time, so I was very exited when i learn that a video game was coming to theAttack on Titan is one of my favorite anime/manga series of all time, so I was very exited when i learn that a video game was coming to the switch. Just bought the game today and played for about 4 hours. I never played the first game so everything in this game is brand new to me. So far the game is really fun (moving with the 3d maneuver gear is very satisfying and makes you wish you could do that in real life). The single player campaign mode follows the source material very well so far, and going through the story is as fun as watching the anime, maybe even better from time to time since you get to control a soldier and slay some titans :D As for the sounds, the voices are the same as in the anime, the only thing that is missing in my opinion is the music from the anime. I really look forward to completing the story and trying the other game mode (and trying it online). My only disappointment so far is that there are downloadable skins that can be purchased from the eshop, but they cost way to much in my opinion (after buy the game at full retail price, i don't really wanna spend 50$ more to get 16 skins) but since those are just cosmetics this shouldn't matter much in the end, as the game is already fun as it is… Full Review »
