𝙎𝙃𝙊𝙐𝙇𝘿 𝙔𝙊𝙐 𝘽𝙐𝙔: Soul Hackers 2 Review [Spoiler-free]

Very well-written, thank you for being frank and fully descriptive of what to expect, while not just spilling out the entire game’s story or gameplay. Earned a sub

wow a non P4G video! I appreciate that this review isn't just a comparison to Persona 5 but rather it seems you've been around your share of other Atlus titles

me watching this even though i already bought a $200 collectors edition lol

First, congratulations for receiving a review copy from Atlus, a well deserved recognition for all your hard work with the Persona 4 Gold series. I feel a bit emotional just that Atlus gave you the game for review, Hiding-kun. Second, you made me very interested to play Soul Hackers 2... But my pc is dying faster than someone fighting Minotaur with Walter in the party in SMT IV, so for now I will just wish list the game.

just as an atlus fan, i think its gonna be good. soundtracks may not be peak, gameplay may not be perfect, but what i appreciate is atlus trying something new while also recalling what the old games were about. while the dlc sets a certain precedent for business practices, i like the way it shows even with all these laurels atlus isnt resting - still trying new things like stack, blending new and old story concepts, and just being on fucking point with art and artstyle as usual. buying as soon as i can of course. my pfp says it all

While this game looks really good. I really hate Atlus's practice of Day 1 DLC and also the fact that they made the collectors edition EVEN more difficult to obtain then the SMT V one. It doesn't help that the price was honestly kinda ridiculous, I love Atlus Collector's editons so it felt kinda bad to pass on it. I'll probably get it second-hand one day.

I like the cute little animated avatar. Very nice.

Didn't expect to see the wonderful Kall illustrations on hiding in private ;^)

Considering Atlus' shenanigans with localizers recently, I wonder if those mcu style quips and jokes are genuine or just english localizers being english localizers. I regret not studying Japanese a decade earlier.

The way they handle the enemies with the red, purple, and gold enemies and how you engage them is straight out of Tokyo Mirage Session. In fact I bet they borrowed a lot of ideas from TMS for this title.

OK IF YOU ARE SEEING THIS- WE WILL BE LIVE playing Soul Hackers 2 in 8 hours! www.twitch.tv/hidingkun

Wahhhh can't wait to watch you play the game! Also, can't wait for the Kanji video! Wahhhh!

This game really was a unique experience if nothing else lol. Are you gonna pick up / talk about the story DLC as well?

Awesome seeing you able to do a review for this, great video!

The presentation for this game looks great, but like og soul hackers I’m feeling meh about everything else. Still gonna buy in hopes that Devil Survivor 3 is possible.

As a person who's only played Persona 4 Golden since it got it's port to PC, I'm 100% getting this! I pre-ordered it a good while ago and I'm looking forward to tomorrow morning when it drops! From what I've seen from most reviews is that this is a game that's worth playing, but it's also one where you should temper your expectations. From what I've seen, SH2 sort of looks like ATLUS experimenting with the SMT formula and playing around with systems they weren't confident enough in to put in one of their more major titles, which I'm all for. Even if some of the stuff in this game looks a little underdeveloped or could use a bit of an improvement, I'm honestly fine with it as the fact that this is coming to PC alone is enough for me as I don't own, and don't really plan to own, any other platforms to play other titles on. So yeah, really looking forward to this!

This is a great review, and I definitely think I will enjoy this game, but I had to stop this video for like 40 whole seconds laughing at "You mean a garr licked this bread"

Reviewers be like "0/10 not Persona 6" They complain about bland dungeons but P3 had the same floor with different paint jobs for 100 some flights and it got 8s and 9s 🤦‍♂️

Crazy. I had no idea this game existed until a few hours ago. I was just watching YouTube channel Marsh's "The Soul Hackers Experience" like I always do, and all of a sudden YouTube started slapping SH2 vids in my recommended. I'm not a gamer, but it's always a nice feeling to catch the sequel to a game you were following, thinking you were discovering a relic, even though it was just released in 1997.
