  • Summary: In the Soul Hackers 2 , 2 characters--Ringo and Figue--awaken in order to prevent the destruction of the world by "The Great One." The game features a new storyline and roster of characters, so it's not necessary to have played its predecessor.

    In summary, we can say that Atlus has released one of its best cards to step on the Xbox platform stronger than any other company had done. A challenging proposal from Atlus that everyone should play at least once in their life.

    Soul Hackers 2 is an excellent JRPG set in a world full of neon lights in which a terrible threat to humanity is posed.

    Soul Hackers 2 is a wonderful JRPG that features an intriguing story, a cast of likable characters, and addicting gameplay that is both welcoming to newcomers and challenging for veterans. While the beginning can be slow, and some of the dungeons can be cumbersome to trudge through, the rewarding payoffs are worth the effort.

    You won’t grow bored of the game, either, because of that terrific story, and the cutscenes that drive it. With Soul Hackers 2, Atlus is building on the success of Persona and Shin Megami Tensei, and further cementing its position as the dominant force in JRPGs.

    Soul Hackers 2 is a solid game. It’s not the most impressive technically and you can see the budget constraints, but it tells a fascinating story with a style few can match. If you’re a fan of Dungeon Crawling JRPGs then you should check this one out.

    Soul Hackers 2 is, at its heart, a streamlined Atlus JRPG, serving as a great entry point for anyone new to the genre or the developer in general. The combat and dungeon delving are entertaining, if fairly familiar, and the charming cast of characters kept me interested all the way through its roughly 60-hour campaign. But a disappointing lack of creativity in its battle systems and a fairly shallow overarching story mean this newly resurrected series will need to do more if it wants to set itself apart amongst Atlus’ best.

    Behind its colorful neon lights, Soul Hackers 2 remains an "old-school" role-playing game that strays from more recent titles in its franchise like Persona 5 Royal or Shin Megami Tensei V. Beyond its cyberpunk anime aesthetic, the Atlus' game relies on an ever-effective and proven SMT-like combat system, but also on its friendly cast of characters who stand out for their original designs. Unfortunately, the experience is served by a story that is ultimately quite simple, with some technical shortcomings, but above all by its far too basic and repetitive dungeons which struggle to stimulate the player. A title that has something to please experienced role-playing game enthusiasts.

    Soul Hackers 2 was such a cool game! Visuals, settings, characters and story were great! Where this game really shines is the music, TheSoul Hackers 2 was such a cool game! Visuals, settings, characters and story were great! Where this game really shines is the music, The music elevates the other factors to pure excellence. The story was short enough that it didn't overstay its welcome. The QoL features allowed me to speed up combat, as someone who finds turned-based combat slow and tedious. There is a lot of cool things in here for veterans and newcomers to the Shin Megami Tensei umbrella. Highly recommend if you enjoy Synth-wave music, Occult themes or JRPGs. It's on Game Pass too, so please check it out!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. More derivative weeb garbage from a company that hit their peak almost 15 years ago. Once Kazuma Kaneko and Shigenori Soejima got pushed out because they wanted to keep Persona games dark so that they were more similar and faithful to mainline SMT, Atlus went to hell. More repetitive uwu for virgins who watch anime to escape from their mundane lives. This is a hard pass for anyone over the age of 16.… Expand
