The story in Gedonia 2 has received praise for its engaging narrative, improved characterization, and entertaining quest lines, with many players appreciating the variety of choices and multiple endings that enhance replayability. While the quest system has some bugs and inconsistencies, the overall quest structure is considered better than many recent RPGs, offering a mix of humor and depth that keeps players invested. Despite some technical issues and a feeling of incompleteness, the game shows promise with its expansive world and diverse character builds that influence the story's progression.
- “The story, or what snippets of it are in the game currently, has greatly improved both in the quality of the characterization and narrative, and the cutscene presentation compared to Gedonia 1.”
- “The quests felt organic and natural to the world.”
- “The quests and abilities are also designed so interestingly that four builds playing through the game will tackle it in entirely different ways.”
- “The quest system is broken - doesn't seem to register what quest you're tracking and just tracks the last one you interacted with.”
- “At first I didn't like that the quests didn't give much direction and details on where to go and what exactly to do.”
- “The game's story is about 1/3 complete as of launch, but based on what we have so far, I expect great things.”

The graphics in Gedonia 2 show notable improvements over the first game, featuring a new art style reminiscent of titles like World of Warcraft and Torchlight 2, which enhances its visual identity. However, players have reported various graphical glitches, performance issues, and a mixed reception regarding the art style and animations, indicating that while the graphics are better, they still have room for refinement. Overall, the game offers a visually appealing experience for RPG fans, though some may find the low-poly aesthetic and occasional bugs detract from immersion.
- “Gedonia 2 turned out to be a great and excellent game with nice graphics and a lot of game content.”
- “The graphics have, naturally, gotten a bit of an upgrade, but the art style remains intact.”
- “Great start for a sequel with a step up in graphics.”
- “There are so many graphics and visual glitches even right at the start of the game.”
- “This game feels like it was designed maybe for a tiny mobile screen in terms of graphics and detail, not a PC, and even then it's substandard.”
- “I don't like the art style; the models and the animations look weird, and it was pretty buggy and laggy when I played it with my boyfriend.”

Gameplay in Gedonia 2 is a mixed bag, with players noting significant issues such as inconsistent hit detection, unreliable climbing mechanics, and clunky combat due to animation lock-outs. While the game offers engaging questlines and character customization, the overall mechanics feel janky and detract from immersion. Despite these drawbacks, many players appreciate the nostalgic elements and potential for extensive gameplay, with over 100 hours of content available.
- “Even questing has meaningful choices that impact gameplay, and within a few hours I've come across several branching questlines I did not notice the first few times.”
- “With so many quests with alternative endings and choices, and so many character options, Gedonia 2 easily offers over 100 hours of engaging gameplay, and it will only get better.”
- “Pros: classic feeling, lots of nostalgia, simple but interesting gameplay, good class customization, nice inventory and items, crafting and exploration are well done, you can play a necromancer and summon skeletons but also have a mercenary.”
- “Hit boxes on terrain are way different than meshes, the mantle mechanic seems to not work about 75% of the time, and the jump key seems to work sometimes, and not others.”
- “Combat is a bit clunky, but that is expected with animation lock-outs (your character enters a cinematic choreographed move when you press the attack key, during which you cannot move, change direction, etc. you lose control of your character during the animations, and honestly I hate that mechanic).”
- “I'll probably play it again in the future once more updates have been done to it, but as of right now the movement and mechanics are just way too janky for me and removes my immersion.”

- “Performance is fine so far, steady FPS although some textures did glitch out occasionally.”
- “Game stuttering, unstable camera jerking, maps not rendering right.”

- “This really gives it a lot of replayability and freedom to experiment.”
- “The same quest can play out very differently depending on who you are, what you know, or what you’re willing to do, and that alone gives the game huge replay value.”
- “Even with that, there is some replayability with build variety if you want to go back and try a mage or something.”
- “The game has potential; I really hope they work out all the kinks, tweak the controller support just a little more, and then they will have a solid replayable RPG with lots to offer.”
grinding

Players have mixed feelings about grinding in the game, noting that while it can be tedious due to high enemy health and restrictive gear drops, it also encourages strategic gameplay and skill specialization. The ability to farm for ingredients adds a layer of depth, making grinding for skill levels feel rewarding rather than pointless. However, some players find the overall experience marred by meaningless quests and NPC interactions.
- “Not the bad side: restrictive gear loot drops, insane grinding, meaningless quests and NPCs.”
- “This makes grinding for skill levels fun to unlock things you know will be improvements, but not in a way that makes you feel overpowered, as well as not in a way where it's just a side goal of useless stuff you'll never use.”
- “I honestly kinda expected there to be some type of party scaling for enemy HP like how Monster Hunter does it, since giving them so much health makes sense when there's a party of 2-4.”
