While some appreciate the light-hearted and humorous tone, others criticize the repetitive missions and lack of depth in character arcs, leading to a feeling of boredom over time. Despite these criticisms, the game offers multiple endings and side missions that enhance replayability, making it enjoyable for those who prioritize fun gameplay over a rich narrative.

    • “Beside a dragging and long story, it feels like it’s trying so hard to recapture the charm of its predecessor but falls flat on multiple fronts.”
    • “The story is lackluster this time around, and they removed fun features like the class roster which added depth to the game.”
    • “The different routes are not distinctly divided, so you end up replaying the same missions over and over, just changing up the order in which you do them to arrive at different endings.”

    The gameplay of Gal*Gun 2 is a mix of rail shooter and dating sim elements, but many players find it repetitive and grindy, with some new mechanics feeling like chores rather than enhancements. While the core shooting mechanics are easy to pick up and can be enjoyable, the lack of variety and the absence of mini-games from previous titles have led to a sense of monotony. Overall, the game is seen as fun for casual players, especially in VR, but it could benefit from more complexity and engaging gameplay elements.

  • grinding9 mentions

    Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, particularly when it comes to achieving 100% completion, as it often requires multiple playthroughs and repetitive missions. While some appreciate the fun gameplay and VR support, many express frustration with the time-consuming nature of certain achievements and the lack of options to skip previously seen content. Overall, the grinding can detract from the enjoyment, making it feel like a slog for those aiming to fully complete the game.

    • “It isn't as grindy as other games, but there are a few achievements that will take you a lot of time and may affect your vision of the game.”
    • “The only thing I did not like about the game was related to getting all the achievements; it was very tedious because it forces you to play the whole game again multiple times to get the different endings. I wish you could skip scenes of the characters chatting or something to speed up scenes you've already seen.”
    • “Personally, I went for the risu ending and the most complicated harem ending (which was a complete disappointment for all that effort) and couldn't stomach a second playthrough even though there's a new game+ that lets you carry over your weapon levels, as the lag spikes and absolute slog of most missions due to the introduction of mini-demons was just too tedious.”
    • “That being said, it's an okay game for one playthrough, but it's pretty tedious to max out.”
  • optimization7 mentions

    The game's optimization is widely criticized, with users reporting significant lag spikes and stuttering, necessitating manual tweaks to improve performance. While some players experience excellent frame rates on high-end hardware, the overall consensus leans towards poor optimization, particularly in non-VR modes, making it difficult to recommend.

    • “Aside from that, performance and battery life is phenomenal on the Intel 12700H and 1540P.”
    • “Comparatively shorter game than Double Peace, but better visuals and optimizations.”
    • “I've played it a couple of hours and the performance is excellent, locked at 120 fps with no single drop.”
    • “Really bad optimization with stingy DLC; need to tweak some ini files to make it run.”
    • “However, the game suffers from massive lag spikes and stuttering issues.”
    • “I do not recommend this game due to its bad optimization and poor non-VR state.”
  • replayability7 mentions

    The game offers significant replayability through various treasures, side missions, and multiple routes, encouraging players to explore different choices and endings.

    • “There are also different treasures, side missions, and secret aspects that increase the replay value.”
    • “Plus, there were multiple routes through some levels in addition to the various choices to win over certain characters, which added some replay value to it.”
    • “This has a few different endings and a bit of replay value if you care enough to do side missions and explore different routes.”
    • “However, the overall length of the game may be deemed quite short, and replayability may be dependent on one's pleasure of the unique gaming features.”
    • “Otherwise, you'd be paying more for a slightly better looking double peace with less options, less replay value, and a worse interface.”
    • “This has a few different endings and a bit of replay value if you care enough to do side missions and routes.”
  • music6 mentions

    The music in the game is widely praised for its bright, cheerful quality and nostalgic, nineties-inspired soundtracks, enhancing the overall fun and casual gameplay experience. While some reviews note a lack of memorable tracks compared to other titles, the soundtrack is still considered a strong aspect that complements the game's lighthearted and comedic tone. Overall, the music contributes positively to the game's atmosphere, making it enjoyable for players.

    • “A pretty neat game, I 100% recommend it for casual players that want some of that lewd, fun gameplay, included with a very decent story with some twists here and there and a beast of a soundtrack in my personal opinion.”
    • “The characters are cute, the voice acting is good, the music is bright and cheerful, and the premise is as silly as ever.”
    • “The Gal*Gun series just makes all of the females euphoric, and any moments of them coming off as aroused are instead overwhelmed by their overbearing screams of excitement, which come across as far more comical than inappropriate. The game itself is really fun to want to finish all the way through and is accompanied by a soundtrack that very much reminds you that you are playing a product of quality.”
    • “What you won't get in the game is an uphill race against the clock in a war sequence under dramatic music, followed by an emotional showdown against your love interest at sunset, and a satisfying resolution.”
    • “Solid gameplay, great anime visuals, and a very nineties-esque video game soundtrack.”
