  • Improved combat system with chaining attacks, quick switch mechanic, and more engaging battles compared to the first game.
  • Expanded exploration with bigger maps, verticality, climbing, swimming, and fewer invisible walls enhances gameplay variety.
  • Refined alchemy system including a skill tree for recipe unlocking and additive synthesis quality making crafting more rewarding.
  • Game remains very easy, reducing challenge especially after crafting high-quality items early on.
  • Several gameplay systems such as Essence system, Romy's shop upgrades, Puni raising, and Evolution Link feel like bloat with tedious mechanics.
  • The story pacing is uneven with a loose early game and rushed ending; also, some quality of life issues persist like poor inventory management and map usability.

    The story in this game offers a meaningful continuation from the first installment, showcasing character growth and a more engaging cast with clearer objectives and exploration options. While it presents a step forward in presentation and satisfaction, the plot itself remains somewhat light. Overall, it's recommended for players who appreciate story and character development, though newcomers might start here if story depth is less of a priority.

    • “Review coming straight off from Ryza 1 DX after 100% and I highly suggest playing the first Ryza game even just for the story as it added immensely to my enjoyment of Ryza 2's story, seeing how the crew is doing, what they've been up to, and the growth/changes they underwent 3 years later.”
    • “The cast itself is far more interesting here, highlighted by the fact you don't meet every story-related party member within the first hour of gameplay.”
    • “The story also feels more satisfying to go through; you have clear objectives spread out throughout the entire game, and there’s a bit of an open end to which areas you want to explore.”
    • “The game overall felt like a step forward in story and presentation but a lot of the bad aspects stayed relatively the same.”
    • “My only major negative is the plot feels light.”
    • “If you don't care about story or character building, I'd highly suggest this one as a starting point over the first though.”

    The gameplay is praised for its engaging combat mechanics, including a quick character switch system and a parry mechanic that rewards perfect guarding. Randomized party and enemy positioning adds strategic depth, while a more interesting cast and a lively world enhance the overall experience. Many consider it as good as or better than the previous installment, with clear improvements in mechanics and immersion.

    • “This is also improved by the quick switch mechanic where you have one character on standby that can switch and continue the chain, so you only ever need to control one character slot.”
    • “They introduced this 'parry' mechanic where you can perfect guard an incoming attack and gain AP for it.”
    • “The world feels alive with more NPCs, and combat is more engaging thanks to interactive mechanics like timed blocking.”
    • “The combat has a half-assed mechanic where your party and enemies can spawn and reposition randomly at the start of a battle, similar to Last Remnant, where you gain bonuses from attacking from flanks or behind, but it feels poorly executed.”
    • “The cast itself is far more interesting here, highlighted by the fact that you don't meet every story-related party member within the first hour of gameplay.”
    • “This is improved by the quick switch mechanic where you have one character on standby that can switch in and continue the chain, so you only ever need to control one character slot.”

    The game demonstrates stable and consistent performance across different platforms, including the Steam Deck and HDD setups, with no reported optimization issues. Its performance is comparable to the original game, offering smooth gameplay even on medium settings.

    • “Has better performance on the Steam Deck than the original on medium settings.”
    • “Zero performance issues, primarily played on Steam Deck.”
    • “The performance was fine and I have the game on an HDD.”

    Users feel that the graphics have improved significantly from the first game, giving it a more modern and polished appearance compared to the indie-like feel of its predecessor. However, there is a caution against unnecessary re-releases solely for minor graphical upgrades.

    • “Compared to the first game, this game still feels like AA but plays more in line with any modern game released in the past decade, where the first felt like an indie passion project or a 20-year-old game remastered with better graphics.”
    • “Compared to the first game, this game still feels like AA but plays more in line with any modern game released in the past decade, whereas the first felt like an indie passion project or a 20-year-old game remastered with better graphics.”
    • “I love the game, Koei, but please don't be like Sony and keep re-releasing a game franchise that is not even 5 years old just for some 'graphics improvement' or something like that.”

  • emotional

    The game features charming and wholesome characters that evoke a warm, emotional connection with players.

  • grinding

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Grinding in the game is considered tedious, with many systems requiring extensive effort or materials only obtainable late in the game, making them less rewarding or pointless by the time they become accessible.

    • “A lot of the systems like Romy's shop, Puni raising, essences, and to an extent seed farming are either very tedious or require materials/tools that are found at the very end of the game, which by that point are already pointless to engage with.”
