    It’s clearly better than its predecessor, but that’s the lowest bar imaginable – and it’s pretty clear that it’s a bar that this one only just clears by the barest of margins.

    Hollow 2 could - and should - have been a vast improvement on the first game. With poor visuals and gameplay that frankly feels like a chore to play, there’s little here to convince anyone looking for a new FPS on the Switch. There are small hints of a good game bubbling under the surface, and perhaps with more time and diligence this could have seen the light of day. As it stands, Hollow 2 fails to address the glaring issues from its predecessor and should be left well alone.

    I’m sure anyone who takes on the challenge of making a game and getting it released dreams of their title being truly memorable. Of course, ifI’m sure anyone who takes on the challenge of making a game and getting it released dreams of their title being truly memorable. Of course, if what sears it onto memory are the problems rather than triumphs perhaps it would be better to remain obscure. After the pretty dreadful mess that was the original Hollow on Switch I assumed that there wouldn’t be a sequel, but I was wrong. I had hoped that the return would be determined to overcome the many shortcomings of the original, among them the very ugly and muddy presentation, the lackluster (and overly-repeated) enemy models, weak first-person action, and odd overall story. I was, again, wrong. If anything it feels like they’ve either ignored that the original had problems or have even decided to lean in even harder to things that didn’t work, thinking they’d somehow work themselves out this time. They didn’t. It’s a real mess, but if somehow my words don’t sate your curiosity I’d say that of the two the original was more playable, so I’d start there if you’re determined to see the trainwreck for yourself.
