Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Fun, fast pacer arena brawler with a good roster of characters that are diverse enough in abilities to warrant being separate but still similar enough that you can pick up any of them with relative ease.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
the first game was like a test run not bad but needed more time to mature through the likes of a sequel and then we get override 2 a different game from the first in too many ways and just like the first it feels like it is a test run that needed more work before release both games are like tech demos... they are playable no bugs or glitches from what i can tell graphics are good (better in the first game) gameplay can be fun at times but mostly dull most fun is had with 2-4 player splitscreen especially because the game has no community but as long as you have friends/ family its a non issue however this game ditches the story mode that the first game had in place of a lazy league mode that tries to force online on you and since there is no community you wait for long periods of time for it to stop matchmaking (cant stop it unless you go offline on steam) to fight bots anyway. they also just straight took away customizations from the first game feeling like they are trying to add them later as paid dlc sleezy.... speaking of sleezy devs have a habit of releasing the game and dropping it after release they did it with the first and quickly did it with this one they are no where to be seen dont expect balance patches or qol gameplay changes to advance the game further.

Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
I'm sure if the optimization/framerate issues are exclusive to me, but it may be wise to wait for a steeper sale if you're looking for netplay matches.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
There's a variety of mechs and stages, the OST fits the setting and genre, and the controls and movements feel fluid and rewarding.
