    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.

    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 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.

    Was so excited for this game. I’m a HUGE fan of the persona series, I love Shin megami tensei games from 2 all the way till current ones, IWas so excited for this game. I’m a HUGE fan of the persona series, I love Shin megami tensei games from 2 all the way till current ones, I even like Tokyo Mirage FE which is an amazing spin off, However..This one from the very beginning I knew it would be tremendous trouble. First off the file size on the series X is a whopping 1.8gb…Let that soak in, For what’s labeled as an “RPG” i don’t need beautiful graphics in a game to find things to love about them, But there is NOTHING salvageable about them. Ugly character designs with HORRIFIC level layouts filled with generic crates. It wants to be Persona so bad that it fails to find its own identity, It feels like a different Developer and publisher tried to imitate the success of the persona series and fell flat on its face, Save your money and look elsewhere because honestly, This game could’ve passed as a digital only title for $20 and I still would’ve felt a bit cheated. Maybe the crowd under 18 would enjoy this, But for my 35 year old self it’s a HARD pass. Only reason I gave it a 3/10 was because the music wasn’t terrible. But, I mean, if that warrants a purchase in your eyes then you’re better off going on YouTube and listening to the soundtrack. Worst Atlus game in the last 20 years. Sheesh.… Full Review »
