    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, 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” iWas so excited for this game.

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.… 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

    I started investing my money with a company that deals in bitcoin after visiting their website, and it seemed like a good idea to me. I didn't invest much right away, but after receiving a few reimbursements within the first month of my investment, I decided to increase my investment because the platform was verified, but little did I know that I knew nothing about the company.

I didn't invest much right away, but after receiving a few reimbursements within the first month of my investment, I decided to increase my investment because the platform was verified, but little did I know that I knew nothing about the company. They were only using the reimbursements to tempt me to make further investments, and I landed up losing £137,000. I complained to the police, but they were powerless to intervene. I then attempted to conduct independent research to see if there was anything I could do and discovered this amazing hacker Wizard web recovery on a post about hackers and how you can get your money back with just a few pieces of information you submit. I didn't think twice about contacting them via: wizardwebrecovery(@)programmer.net, What else could I say than being thankful to Wizard web recovery for being able to recover my bitcoin in full again in just a week. I'm alive today thanks to Wizard Web Recovery. If they hadn't provided assistance I'm not sure who I would be now.

    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.

    Whether you’re familiar with the original or not, Soul Hackers 2 is a fascinating supernatural JRPG that excels in character development and storytelling.

    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.
