    Got about half in this game. Absolutely loving it if you like this genre. Never played the first but action, pacing and world are addictive!

    And the anime graphics - awesome.

    It's a good game if you didn't play the first one,because the first half are almost the same. The combat is addictive and fun,it make you feel like some samurai spiderman. The different type of titans really make the game very challenge but I was hoping more maps and better graphics.

    If you are interested in killing giants with two swords while feeling like Spider-Man or you are a fan of the Manga/Anime then this is the game for you. The portability of the switch only means this game can be enjoyed everywhere. Highly recommended

Las misiones tienen un buen rango de dificultad y las mecanicas de juego se sienten muy unicas, graficamente el juego es regulero y tiene algunas caidas de frames, pero esto se compensa por su excelente jugabilidad, su excelente musica y su buen contenido y aparte ambienta muy bien la historia del anime y sus personajes. No lo recomiendo a personas que busquen un juego facil, ya que aprender a usar los comandos de manera correcta lleva su tiempo y las personas casuales se podrian frustar y dejar el juego. Lo recomiendo a todas las personas que busquen algo diferente con un buen reto y sobre todo si son fans de la serie lo van a disfrutar mucho.… Expand

    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 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… Expand

    This game is amazing the graphic are to die for and I feel this game is alot harder then the first one.

I feel like you just get to do so many more things and the fact you have friendship bars in the game makes it so cool! so if you hate a guy in the anime just dont talk to him at all lol. or you legit have a popularity bar as well! you can become a popular f boy haha. anyways the only con i have about it is sometimes you'll be doing a mission and there will be text on screen telling you how to do things but then the text in the right corner will tell you something different but thats only for the nintendo switch since thats the only version that i played. also being from the xbox one verison for the og game i found myself constantly pressing the keys from the og game. But honestly 10/10 if your new to the attack on titan series this is an amazing game!… Expand

    The game is pretty dreadful, at least on switch. I don't know if it is better on other platforms, but the combat is completely unintuitive and a great deal of instructions are presented at once, making it difficult to grasp. I had high hopes for this game because I am a big fan of the anime and it looked amazing. Very disappointing that I didn't have the experience I had anticipated.

    Cons:
    It has SERIOUS frame rate problems, even in dock mode.
    When more than 5 characters come together to attack the same titan, it becomes almost unplayable due to the fall in frame rate and the slowness with which everything moves. It is the same as the 1, slightly improved. In fact it takes up the whole story of the first season. It has large amounts of DLC paid for missions and    Cons:

    It has large amounts of DLC paid for missions and costumes. And quite expensive for what it offers.
    Sometimes the screen goes black and you can only hear sounds and the menu, forcing you to restart the level.

    Pros:
    It's fun when he runs well.
    is very attached to the franchise.
    Eventually you can play like a titan, although it's not as fun as it sounds.    … Expand

    ! Additional Note

    + You get to kill titans! That's all you do besides side missions like escort, defend (an area, or a building, or allies), and capturing titans. If players expect more than these, prepare to be disappointed.

    + Town life: Players roam around towns to interact with characters from the anime to obtain new skills.

    + Character creation/customisation: This makes the game even better. The first game felt like a story-telling experience as you play characters from the anime. In this one, you create your character and be a part of the story and feel immersed. The character creator is not shallow nor deep however. But it's there.

    + Variety of equipments (weapons, ODM gear): Though different equipments comes with different stats, they are pretty much cosmetic in my opinion as players can upgrade the stats in the long run with materials. Pick whichever that looks good on you.

    - Titan clipping with environment. This is infuriating and annoying as each execution uses precious gas. Often times, I aimed for the nape and titans will clip through buildings or other stuff like trees, thus canceling the execution which wastes gas and time. (Missions are timed, complete them fast for better rewards)

    - Allies (A.I.) are most of the time dumb. I've had allies got themselves eaten by titans. But worse is during escort missions where they constantly ran into the fence and got themselves stuck. Which is also affecting 'time-rewards' for the mission. Yep, time is important in this game.

    ! The Nintendo Switch version runs pretty well and acceptable to me but there will be slow downs which players may need to get used to.

    ! Titans pop in happens as the draw distance for the Switch version is poor. May or may not affect the players enjoyment, will leave this here for everyone's info.

    ! Performances and graphics look the same whether on handheld/tabletop mode or docked mode.

    Do I recommend this game?
    For the Switch? Yes, no doubt! If portability beats graphics and performance, then the Nintendo Switch version is great. Bonus for docked mode.

    If you have a PC or PS4/XboxOne: Personally if I owned one of these, I'd get the game for one of these systems instead. The game can be really fast and a higher frame rate would be nice.    … Expand

    This game is a great expansion of the anime/manga. Seeing the plot unfold through your own create-a-characters eyes is a great feeling.

Graphically, the game looks decent on the Switch, but the view distance is a little bit short meaning you get a fair amount of pop-in and titans not loading (more noticeable in portable mode). Performance-wise, the game does tend to drop frames when there is a lot of action and titans in the area, but it only drops for a second or two which doesn't interrupt the combat at all. There is plenty of content for you to enjoy and the game never feels stale. All in all, this is a great game, but with a few more optimisation tweaks this game could easily be a 10/10.… Expand

    For those wondering why this game has such a negative review, it's because it's not truly "Attack on Titan 2," but rather, "Attack on Titan Remastered," and should've really been named and marketed as such.

    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.

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