Why players love itThings to know
67% of themes are praise22% are divided11% are complaints
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
76 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Rather than aiming for polish in a traditional sense, the visuals embrace imperfection as part of their charm, making every new area feel like a discovery.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
70 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Instead, it expands upon it with greater mechanical confidence, richer exploration, and a more cohesive sense of structure, all while remaining deeply surreal, abstract, and defiantly uninterested in conventional storytelling or presentation.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
61 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Sound design and music play a crucial role in defining Hylics 2’s identity.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
60 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Turn-based combat returns with a greater emphasis on strategy and party synergy, supported by a small but memorable cast of companions who each bring unique abilities and personalities.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
51 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Overall, the story was MUCH easier to understand as every NPC talks normally and can give clear instruction, tips, etc.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
And when I say "more enjoyable" it's because, going back and skipping / dodging that same enemy is more fun and thrilling because of just how gruelling the combat is.
