You may have played Axiom Verge, or heard it referenced as a benchmark for indie “metroidvania” adventures. Axiom Verge 2 is part of the same story as Axiom Verge 1 but is a completely new game: new characters, new powers, new enemies, and a new world. You can play it before or after the original.
In this sequel to the critically acclaimed Axiom Verge, you explore an alternate Earth-like world, replete with the ruins of an ancient, high-tech civilization. But something else is lurking just past the fringes of reality, waiting to pull you in. Meet Indra, the mysterious billionaire behind the worldwide Globe 3 conglomerate. What is this world she’s found? Who are the voices that seem to be calling to her?

It's OK It is missing a lot of stuff I was expecting from Axiom Verge 1. - It's a prequel / side story so no answers on what happened to Athetos / Trace - No arsenal of guns, You've got a boomerang, melee weapon, and that's it. You can't go on a side quest to get a flamethrower or chain lightening - No real boss fights, there are big enemies around with a lot of health that drop items, but they aren't really boss fights. - The world doesn't really feel alien. Green grass, blue water, snow and pine trees. I don't feel like I'm in another universe. - You don't get your L1 ability until the very end of the game so an entire button on your controller goes unused until the last 10 minutes of the game.
I feel like a lot of people are being emotional in judging this game. I will try to be as pragmatic as I can to give a clear view of what I experienced. I will also mention that I did finish the game as well as got 100% completion (items/map). Bugs/crashes: I did not experience a single crash and I don't recall encountering any bugs at all in my 14 hours of play. Exploration/Map: The game world is rather big. As in it takes up a lot of space. There are two main "worlds" you traverse. The Overworld and The Breach. The Overworld is a huge natural landscape with different biomes. As such, a lot of screens could feel same-y because of the natural/ruin/abandoned nature of the world. It still is a lot of space and there's a lot to explore and there is a fair bit of variety. Both in level design and also gameplay of each biome. The Breach on the other hand feels like a more retro version of t
Real quick: this is not a continuation of Trace's story. Trace himself appears in logs, and the more attention you pay the more connections you'll see. But if anything, this game's a prequel rather than a sequel - although that depends on where you're looking... it's complicated. It also seems like the game's very hit-or-miss. "It's nothing like AV1" is a common complaint, but I'm not sure if I agree; it depends on what sort of comparison you're making. However, the achievement stats paint a completely different picture: 42% of players have beaten the final boss, which is a very high number - even higher than AV1's 30%. In a sense, it's one of the best Metroidvanias I've ever played. It just grabs you and keeps you in. To me, the main sensation of a Metroidvania is discovery, and I think there's a lot to discover here. Just like in AV1, many hard to reach places contain lore pieces in
Let´s keep it short. Is it as phenomenal as the first game? No. Is it still a very good game? Yes.
As a hardcore fan of all things metroidvania, including the original Metroid, Super Metroid and Castlevania: SotN, I was also a hardcore fan of the first game. I ended up scouring every inch of Axiom Verge 1, looking for everything and getting all the achievements. So, with my "credentials" out of the way, is Axiom Verge 2 worth your time? TLDR: Yes.* I was very hesitant to a start. The game sure takes it time to really kick into gear, but so did the first now that I think back to it. However, first some review info: Graphics Very reminiscent of the first game, but brighter and more "earthly". It's very clear that while Sudra is an alien place with weird creatures and strange flora, Kiengir is a more familiar place. Some might find this off-putting, but it did make for some absolutely gorgeous scenery. Graphics gets a big thumbs up for me. Sound and music With the exception of a fe
Buy it. It's different from AV1 - less Meroid, more Castlevania. And it means mostly melee combat, more emphasis on exploration, you will never feel like you are OP and killing everything you see in one hit (And I actually couldn't notice effect of any damage upgrade). Plus focus here on many different exploration skills that you need to use to progress and find secrets. But it have crazy setting, insane music, great visuals and big world to explore. What else do you need? P.S. I actually found what else do I need - epic boss battles. AV2 is lacking in this area. In AV1 boss battles where interesting and part of the lore. In AV2 all bosses are optional and doesn't add to the game.
