The gameplay in Buriedbornes 2 is rich and complex, offering a dense array of mechanics that can initially overwhelm players but ultimately encourages strategic adaptation and character customization.

- “Very deep gameplay, and many upgrades from the first game, lots to do and discover.”
- “The gameplay itself is fast, fun, and very enjoyable.”
- “Yet, the gameplay is fun because of the ability to customize a character's race, background, and job along with a lot of opportunities to reroll skills or equipment to make tons of viable builds.”
- “It is incredibly dense with mechanics and you will drown in the overwhelming detail while naively thinking you know what's going on, looking at the help context menus constantly to learn.”
- “Running out of skill uses is a terrible, stupid mechanic and this game sucks because of it.”
- “Only issue I have is that the English translations sometimes make it really hard to understand the mechanics.”

The graphics of the game receive mixed feedback, with many praising the beautiful artwork and retro dark fantasy aesthetic, particularly for new events, enemies, and bosses. However, some users report graphical bugs and issues, such as unplayable icon glitches and a general feeling of "okayish" graphics compared to the original.

- “The soundtrack is beautiful and the artwork of the new events, enemies, and bosses are perfection; I would recommend it!”

- “The only complaints I have are the steep learning curve, mostly through experience, okayish graphics, and messy translations.”
- “I want to play, but all the graphic icons/images are all blue rectangles; it's unplayable, please fix.”
- “I get graphical bugs, and I made it into one of the parts when the dungeon kicked up the enemy spawn, and then essentially the dungeon map froze on me and wouldn't let me move. A little frustrating because I had seven treasure chests and the bunny guy was right there.”

The music in the game is generally praised for its beauty and quality, enhancing the overall experience alongside the artwork and story. However, some players find the soundtrack repetitive and express a desire for the inclusion of tracks from the first game, which they consider superior.

- “The soundtrack is beautiful and the artwork of the new events, enemies, and bosses are perfection; I would recommend it!”
- “Beautiful music, and if you're in a dungeon, turn your phone sideways as a little treat.”
- “Those music tracks are some of the best ever, including the boss ones and enemy encounters.”
- “Some of the different races/classes are less fun to use than others and the music can be repetitive.”
- “The music, sound effects... the UI is also a bit too big in my opinion.”
- “Would you guys ever consider adding an option to have the old music play?”

The story in Buried Bornes 2 receives mixed feedback, with many players appreciating the improvements and overall quality but expressing a desire for a more developed narrative, particularly in terms of main quests for factions. While some enjoy the art and music, others feel that the game lacks a cohesive storyline, leading to a wish for deeper plot elements. Overall, the game's narrative is seen as a strong point, yet it leaves players wanting more depth and structure.
- “I love the new skills, and the improved story, but the gameplay is like a less enjoyable version of the original... what I really enjoyed about BB1 was the endless progression, getting stronger with each dungeon floor.”
- “Art and music and story are all good too.”
- “When I saw it at first, I was like, eww nope I can't play this, but when I played it for 5 minutes, I got captivated. No bugs, smooth interface, but I don't know if there is a storyline or if it's just endless adventures.”
- “A bit more (any) plot would be nice.”
- “The game is great, but I really wish they expanded the story with things like how certain factions have a main quest or something similar.”
grinding

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience; while some appreciate the larger world and the variety of content unlocked through grinding, others feel that the excessive trial and error, particularly for one-time use items, detracts from enjoyment. The sequel is noted for being more versatile and less repetitive than its predecessor, but it still requires significant grinding to access certain features, which can be frustrating for some players.
- “In this game, grinding for faction to only purchase items that have a one-time use does not feel rewarding.”
- “Just a lot of grinding and trial and error.”
- “Some things are better, but the grinding for corpses is significantly worse.”
stability
7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
The game exhibits notable stability issues, with players reporting various glitches and bugs, particularly during boss fights and in specific game areas, which can disrupt gameplay and require multiple reloads to resolve. Despite these problems, many users feel that the game is an improvement over its predecessor and still offers a rich experience.
- “As a slight negative, I am finding some glitches and bugs that are pretty annoying. For instance, the gluttony fight in the temple will glitch out sometimes, and the boss's invincibility buffs will stay permanently on it, making it completely impossible to damage. Reloading the game will fix this, but sometimes you have to reload the game multiple times during the fight to get it to work correctly.”
- “Game freezes every time I enter the 10th floor boss in the temple dungeon.”
- “It's a pretty neat game, but the bargain section of the shop is buggy.”

optimization

The game offers extensive character build and optimization options, but this comes with significant grinding due to the lab parts being linked to specific races and classes. However, players on lower-end Android devices report severe performance issues, including crashes, missing graphics, and black screens, indicating a need for better optimization and bug fixes. Overall, while the game has potential, its current state may frustrate users with less powerful hardware.
- “There's a lot of build and optimization you can do to your character, but this also means a lot of grind since lab parts are tied to each race/class.”
- “Fun game, but needs performance optimization and bug fixes; it crashed repeatedly, and I had to reset game data.”
- “I'm very excited about the game; however, I think it's facing optimization problems on lower Android devices. I'm using Android 9, and images for skills, equipment, and room contents are just blue squares, and now it's just a black screen. I'm kind of disappointed, really rooting for the game for so long, and I just don't know what to do—should I reinstall or change devices?”
