Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
181 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The number of possible builds and weapons that completely change the way you play is outstanding (I’ve already lost count of how many new “favorite” builds I’ve had...).
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
155 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story, while not quite reaching the emotional heights of the first game, is excellent and deeply compelling throughout hundreds of runs.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
115 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Combine that with far more interesting weapons, trinkets, skills, and a range of pets you can bring along on your runs which make the gameplay loop here incredibly vast and constantly varied and I ended up hungry for more even after 100%ing the whole game in about 120 hours.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
68 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The hand-painted art style is more breathtaking than ever, the soundtrack is an instant classic, and every line of the witty, heartfelt dialogue is delivered by a flawless voice cast.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Visuals: The art and animation in this game are godlike (pun intended).
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The character design is top notch and I can feel a lot of stylistic flare everywhere I look.
