    Attack on Titan 2 is a great game for the Nintendo Switch.

    Casual gamers are going to find a lot to love in Attack on Titan 2 (A.O.T. 2). The controls perfectly suit the action, and make Titan-slaying or just swinging around quite fun. There's also plenty of satisfaction to be had in the pursuit of better gear and special skills. However, those out there who want to get the most out of their purchase are going to have a lot of work to do.

    A.O.T 2 is a game that will delight every fan of the series, as it’s loyal to the first part and at the same time innovates by putting the player in the shoes of a new character and in the way of explaining the facts. At a technical level, it’s true that it can be improved in several aspects, but it’s totally compensated by its fun, large amount of content and its cooperative and competitive online modes.

    Attack on Titan 2 is a great game, it doesn't suffer from the lesser power of Nintendo Switch and takes advantages from its hybrid nature.

    Attack on Titan 2 is still a great deal of fun, despite a slow start and some wonky performance on the Switch. In a time where every week seems to have a great game, it might be easy to skip this one as just another Koei Tecmo anime release, but you’d be doing yourself a disservice. Attack on Titan 2 is a very unique action game, with a great story, great controls, and fun as hell combat. Recommended.

    I’ve quite enjoyed the Attack on Titan anime, and I think that helped me appreciate the game much more. It’s hard to recommend to people unfamiliar with the show or manga, since while it follows along with the story, you miss out on a lot of the political intrigue that makes the events more meaningful. But if you are a fan, A.O.T. 2 is a blast.

    Attack on Titan 2 is a great dive into the brutal world of Shingeki no Kyojin, and is a blast to play on the Switch. While held back by some annoying technical bugs, what’s on offer here should be enough to appease both series veterans and newcomers alike.

    While it has plenty of flaws, Attack on Titan 2 actually presents a surprisingly compelling package. As an adaptation of the anime, it does a good job of capturing the series’ signature sense of action and as a game in general, it presents mechanics and ideas that are entirely unique. The game’s issues with repetition and presentation would likely make it tough to recommend to all series loyalists, but given the gameplay, it becomes a much more interesting experience that might be worth checking out to those looking for a different sort of action game.

    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 »
