    Teslagrad 2 is a shockingly beautiful sequel with solid mechanics and some excellent boss battles.

    After a decade of waiting, Teslagrad 2 is undeniably a great follow-up to the original. The game is gorgeous, movement feels excellent, and the world is a joy to explore. What's here is very strong, but the short length means it's all over too quickly, which may come as a disappointment given the 10-year gap between this sequel and the original game. Despite that, if you are a fan of the original Teslagrad, or games with great mobility in general, you will surely enjoy Teslagrad 2.

    Teslagrad 2 is a marvelous game from start to finish. Its beautiful graphics and set pieces never get old, and the music is of equal quality.Teslagrad 2 is a marvelous game from start to finish. Its beautiful graphics and set pieces never get old, and the music is of equal quality. The story takes a backseat here, but that's to be expected in a metroidvania. But where it really shines is its engine. It's hard to get used to the controls at first, but once you learn to take advantage of the wonky magnet physics and terrain interactions, you will feel like a true master. The abilities you collect all flow with each other perfectly, and there's nothing more rewarding than finding a way to combine your powers to skip tricky puzzles.

    I give it such a low score because it is horribly optimized for switch. If you can get it on steam then I recommend that instead, but until the bugs and lags get fixed, you almost shouldn't bother, which is a real shame. About halfway through the game frame drops become constant and frequent, and major lag will occur every couple minutes, especially when you're using the fast travel or moving at high speeds, which is when it needs to be the smoothest. After the burning ship escape sequence, my game actually crashed, and it loaded a save from before I started the area. I don't even remember the last time a switch game crashed for me. 7 might even be too high for my experience. Nevertheless, Teslagrad 2 is a real gem, and I hope it gets the respect and fixes that it deserves. The devs still have a ways to go, but they should still be proud of themselves for what they've accomplished.    … Full Review »
