    What can I say, it's a sequel to the rather controversial game. I disliked the fact that they made this game with no open world, I really liked it in the previous one. Fights were visually spectacular, I adore the amount of flashes from these lightsaber. Bosses, huh, some were harsh and some weren't but the final one was a **** ass to beat... Good music and gameplay made it worth my time,What can I say, it's a sequel to the rather controversial game.

    It's a solid 7 for me. I get that it is satire about video games, but man, too repetitive for me.

    Unapologetically brash and with a swagger that screams ‘love me or loathe me!’, the NMH series has carved a reputation and this is its best advertisement. [Issue #3, p.61]

    A total package that's much less of an acquired taste than the first. [Issue #51 – March/April 2021, p. 17]

    No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle is satirical, nonsensical, and just plain weird. It's also fast, bloody, impactful, and a few other things that I am not sure I can or should put into words. It sometimes makes the original title feel more subdued, which is strange to say since that the first game wasn't exactly tame. Given its much-improved gameplay loop, interesting side-quests, insane boss fights, and hilarious gameplay, NMH2 is indeed a wild rollercoaster ride that must be seen to be believed. If this does not get you hyped for the series' third entry, nothing will.
