    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

    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.
