Nintendo Force MagazineMay 13, 2022I think The Caligula Effect 2 will provide a fun experience for fans of the first game and JRPG fans in general. But for those new to the genre, you can find better ones on the Switch that may leave you with fewer regrets. [Issue #58 – March/April 2022, p. 75]

Feb 10, 2022The Caligula Effect 2 improves on several aspects of the original, namely the combat system, and brings an exquisite story with many captivating elements, very well written characters, as well as a stunning soundtrack. At the same time, its level design could use improvements, and even though the soundtrack is indeed one of the game's top assets, some of its tracks are repeated to the point of exhaustion, which only leads to saturation. Overall this is an enjoyable experience which could have turned out better if some of those elements had been addressed.

Jan 7, 2022If there is one problem with Caligula Effect 2 it is pacing. The beginning hits incredibly hard, with great characterization and drawing the player into the plot. The hours-long plodding dungeons and 'slice of life' sections kill what otherwise is actually a pretty cool story. Much like the first game, the core experience of fights and story is solid, but it is absolutely buried in detail which is unfortunate as it makes it far less accessible.
