    2,094 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story of "Attack on Titan 2" closely follows the original anime, covering seasons 1 to 3 while allowing players to insert their custom character into the narrative. While many players appreciate the immersive experience of participating in key events alongside beloved characters, some criticize the repetitive mission structure and the lack of meaningful impact from the player's character on the overall plot. Overall, the game offers a mix of engaging storytelling and action, though it may feel grindy and less impactful for those unfamiliar with the source material.

    • “The story mode follows the narrative closely, offering a blend of intense action sequences and character-driven moments that deepen your connection to the world of Attack on Titan.”
    • “It's fun seeing your own character fit in effortlessly into the Attack on Titan storyline as if they were there all along.”
    • “The character creator allows you to enter the story as your own person instead of only playing as established characters; the story also incorporates your created character in an interesting way.”
    • “You have nothing to do: you just start a mission (in story mode, they don’t tell you how), kill a few titans, and then fight an overpowered abnormal titan that has way too much health and a shield for some reason.”
    • “- annoyingly ignores any opportunity to change the story for you--as I mentioned earlier, it sticks too close to the original story and never lets you feel like your character matters, despite being easy enough to be leagues better than the best characters in the series.”
    • “The story is familiar to any AOT fan, but with a custom character inserted into the story about as seamlessly as could be accomplished.”
  • gameplay
    840 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay in "Attack on Titan 2" is generally praised for its fast-paced and engaging mechanics, particularly the use of omni-directional mobility gear, which allows for thrilling combat against titans. However, many players note that the gameplay can become repetitive and grind-heavy over time, with mission design lacking variety. While the controls are easy to learn, they can feel clunky at times, and the overall experience is often described as fun, especially for fans of the anime, despite some criticisms regarding the depth and pacing of the gameplay.

    • “The gameplay is fast-paced and intense, with satisfying combat mechanics that make you feel like a skilled member of the Survey Corps.”
    • “It faithfully captures the essence of Attack on Titan's world while delivering thrilling gameplay and memorable moments.”
    • “The mechanics are easy to pick up but nuanced enough to really sink your teeth into before mastering, and there is plenty of learning curve to make skill matter quite a bit.”
    • “The gameplay is very repetitive at times.”
    • “The repetitive bad gameplay does not warrant the time to spend on grinding bullet sponge harder difficulties.”
    • “The gameplay is ultimately repetitive as all hell - there are only so many ways you can make slicing a nape super interesting though.”
  • graphics
    322 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many praising its ability to faithfully recreate the anime's distinctive art style through detailed character models and dynamic environments. While some players find the visuals impressive, especially on lower-end PCs, others criticize them as mediocre or outdated, noting issues like lag and frame drops during intense gameplay. Overall, the graphics are generally considered good for an anime adaptation, though they may not meet the expectations of all players.

    • “Graphically, the game achieves a remarkable balance between fidelity to the anime’s aesthetic and the immersive realism of its world.”
    • “Graphically, the game does a commendable job of recreating the distinctive art style of the anime, with detailed character models and dynamic environments.”
    • “The graphics are very pleasing and the gameplay is also really enjoyable.”
    • “The graphics are mediocre at best.”
    • “The graphics are awful, the gameplay is mediocre at best, and the bosses just don't feel like they should be in an AOT game.”
    • “The graphics are less than subpar and look worse than 2012 games.”
  • grinding
    190 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The grinding aspect of the game is widely noted as excessive and repetitive, often requiring players to invest significant time in leveling characters, upgrading gear, and completing similar missions repeatedly. While some players find enjoyment in the grind due to the engaging gameplay and character interactions, many express frustration with the tediousness and time commitment involved, suggesting that it can detract from the overall experience. Overall, the game is described as fun but heavily reliant on grinding, making it a mixed bag for players depending on their tolerance for repetitive tasks.

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “A bit grindy sometimes.”
    • “Grinding: there is absolutely no grinding required to get value out of this game.”
    • “The repetitive bad gameplay does not warrant the time to spend on grinding bullet sponge harder difficulties.”
    • “There is an ungodly amount of grinding you have to do, and now it's not just 'get every single weapon in the game', it's also spending 160 of the same exact mission to level all your friends to max which adds up to about 10 hours of the exact same mission, over and over.”
    • “I beat the story in about 10 hours, did scouting missions in solo and with friends for about 12 hours, maxing out everyone's relationship took another 20 hours, and the rest of my 80+ hours of game time was a tedious grinding slog and example of poor game design that made me hate this game.”
  • music
    158 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing disappointment over the absence of the original anime soundtrack, which is considered iconic. While some appreciate the composed scores and find them suitable for gameplay, others describe them as generic and repetitive, often preferring to listen to the anime's OST instead. Overall, the soundtrack is seen as a significant missed opportunity, detracting from the immersive experience that the game aims to provide.

    • “Sound design and music play crucial roles in this immersive experience.”
    • “The soundtrack, with its sweeping orchestral scores and intense battle themes, complements the epic scale of the encounters.”
    • “The accompanying soundtrack has music suitable for every mission, which really immerses you into the gameplay.”
    • “It's a huge waste to see the game having to make do with a generic OST that really wants to be similar to Hiroyuki Sawano's work, but just isn't allowed to.”
    • “The soundtrack is horrible plus the game never goes on sale and on top of that the servers are dead.”
    • “They either need to update the game so turning the music volume down turns down the cutscene volume as well or give us the music from the actual show... I'd say where the music is now is maybe 15% as good as the original soundtrack.”
  • optimization
    70 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The optimization of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players noting significant performance issues, particularly on lower-end hardware and during crowded missions. While there are improvements compared to the first game, many users report glitches, stuttering, and a need for manual adjustments to settings for optimal performance. Overall, while some players experience smooth gameplay, others find the optimization lacking and frustrating.

    • “Unlike the first game, AOT 2 introduces us to a 'create a character' optimization, allowing you to utilize every cast's skill abilities on your custom character.”
    • “Optimization is decent too, and the story is quite close to the anime.”
    • “The graphics really aren't terrible, even at lower quality levels for people who have low-end hardware and value performance over visual quality.”
    • “First of all, it's really badly optimized.”
    • “It's a waste of money for what you get out of it, and the bad performance issues with the game.”
    • “It is poorly optimized & lacks an English audio track.”
  • emotional
    60 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    "Attack on Titan 2: Final Battle" is praised for its emotional depth and interactive storytelling, with players forming strong attachments to characters and experiencing heart-wrenching moments, particularly during pivotal plot points. While the game effectively conveys emotional complexity and the impact of relationships, some players felt that certain missions detracted from the overall emotional experience. The culmination of the story, especially the final cutscene, left many in tears, highlighting the game's ability to resonate deeply with its audience.

    • “You get to interact with, gift, quest with, and learn so much about every single character, in a way that makes it heart-wrenching when said characters are taken away from you by force.”
    • “Overall, so far with my 100% story completion, I loved the canon divergent twists and turns and the ending which emotionally broke me... congrats, you made me cry, whoever made this game, you've succeeded, I got sad!”
    • “I don't want to spoil it for anyone who reads this, but the very last story-mode mission was both incredible and heart-wrenching.”
  • stability
    60 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, including frequent bugs, glitches, and AI problems, particularly during escort missions and titan encounters. While some players find the gameplay enjoyable despite these issues, many express frustration over the game's performance, including problems with auto-saving and audio distortion. Overall, the game's ambitious design is marred by its instability, leading to mixed reviews regarding its reliability and value.

    • “I 100% recommend it; a few minor story and animation details aside, it is 100% worth the money and even runs great with my integrated graphics, which is saying something due to the size of some of the maps.”
    • “I have switched my review from negative to positive overall, as the actual gameplay has been fun and bug-free in this new playthrough, though it is a rough port which is obvious any time you are engaging with any of the menus.”
    • “Some levels run great!”
    • “Buy the previous game but not this one, this is a buggy mess with trash DLC.”
    • “The game isn't bad, but it's kind of buggy and it didn't auto-save even though it told me it did and now I have to do the mission again and I am going to uninstall after playing for two hours...”
    • “Can't find a fix anywhere and all troubleshooting does nothing, so I can't in good conscience recommend a game that doesn't even work!”
  • replayability
    34 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game offers strong replayability with a variety of modes, character builds, and multiplayer options that keep players engaged for many hours. While some users find it addictive and enjoyable to replay, others note that it can become repetitive over time, which may affect long-term interest. Despite mixed opinions, many agree that the game has ample content to explore, making it worth revisiting.

    • “Game has tons of hours of content, and is totally replayable due to all the different weapons/builds you can use on your character.”
    • “The way gameplay is in here, I feel no replay value.”
    • “The game has some replay value, keeping you coming back for online multiplayer and events, and trying to fully complete the singleplayer is quite a decent length expedition.”
    • “It took me a whole 60 hours to get through all of the game's playthrough content, and its replay value is still very high, so I won't be done playing it anytime soon!”
  • humor
    28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is widely appreciated, with players highlighting its funny character interactions, quirky weapon designs, and amusing gameplay mechanics, such as the absurdity of grinding for upgrades. Many find the character models and their animations, particularly the irony in their appearances, to be a source of laughter. Overall, the game's blend of humor and engaging banter contributes significantly to its charm and appeal.

    • “Funny banter between characters and a deep character relationship is honestly what made me fall in love with this game.”
    • “Also, the mannequins this game tries to tell you are character models freeze and pivot before running off to exit stage left or something, and it's hilarious.”
    • “Granted it's only difficult once you play Inferno and Eden mode, but get this: to actually do well in Eden and Inferno mode (which is just a higher difficulty past hard in the campaign), you have to either spend hours upon hours of grinding and upgrading your tools to max them out (which is hilarious because you can't max anything out without beating Inferno and Eden mode) or you have to use the garbage-looking weapons because, of course, the weapons that look like they were pulled straight from the trash do the most damage.”
  • character development
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Character development in the game is praised for its depth and subtlety, particularly in the growth of characters like Levi and the player's own journey. Reviewers appreciate the enhanced character interactions and relationships, noting that the game offers more complex development compared to its predecessor, although some feel it misses key moments from the anime. Overall, the world-building and character dynamics contribute positively to the gaming experience.

    • “As an AOT fan, I absolutely loved the incorporation and character development of the player throughout the story.”
    • “I cannot wait for a full game either for Season 4 or a whole new game for all seasons, with more complex character development where the actions and performance actually influence the overall opinion of the character towards the player.”
    • “It's basically just a ton of extra character development, and it's great watching as they warm up to you and become friends.”
    • “I cannot wait for a full game either for S4 or a whole new game for all seasons, with more complex character development and where the actions and performance actually influence the overall opinion of the character towards the player.”
    • “Though it did miss a few moments in the anime that I find crucial to character development.”
    • “In comparison to the last game, this one did a much better job with character development.”
  • atmosphere
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere is characterized by a sense of suspense and danger, largely due to the imposing presence of the titans. The meticulously crafted environments, ranging from walled cities to desolate outskirts, evoke a haunting beauty that mirrors the tone of the anime.

    • “The atmosphere is the same as the anime.”
    • “The titans themselves are imposing and terrifying, adding to the overall atmosphere of suspense and danger.”
    • “The environments, from the walled cities to the desolate outskirts, are meticulously crafted, capturing the haunting beauty and perilous atmosphere of the series.”
  • monetization
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, players feel that the base game is not a cash grab and offers a substantial experience, particularly with its expansive world and relationship mechanics. However, there are concerns regarding the monetization of the new expansion, which some view as exploitative, especially in light of ongoing technical issues and a lack of multiplayer engagement.

    • “The game is riddled with crashes that have been unaddressed since day one, with no known community fix except to power through them (they do eventually become less frequent after the Trost arc), the multiplayer is essentially dead (temporarily revitalized through the release of the expansion), and the new expansion is no more than a cash grab.”
