    The humor in the game is a mix of sharp, absurd, and often crude insults, with many players finding it hilarious, especially in multiplayer settings. While some reviews note that the humor may not be as fresh or funny as in the previous installment, the character parodies and witty quips still resonate well with fans of pop culture. Overall, the game is praised for its comedic elements, though opinions vary on the effectiveness of the humor compared to earlier versions.

    • “It’s time to see these Hollywood heavyweights battle it out with their sharp tongues and hilarious insults.”
    • “The character roster consists of a few humorous parodies of various well-known IPs and throws some jabs at a lot of common movie tropes.”
    • “This game is so dumb it's funny.”
  • gameplay31 mentions

    The gameplay has seen some improvements with the introduction of new mechanics like the comeback feature, which adds depth and allows for more strategic play. However, many players feel that the single-player experience is too easy and lacks replay value, as the humor and novelty have diminished compared to the previous installment. Overall, while the game is polished and offers some quality of life enhancements, it struggles to maintain long-term engagement due to limited gameplay variety and less impactful jokes.

    • “Obviously as the sequel, new game mechanics are introduced, and tournament, or rather, career mode offers specific challenges for each character as they make their way to the final scene.”
    • “The comeback mechanic allows you to get an add-on bonus to the end of your roast when your pride is hurt enough.”
    • “This game has deeper gameplay mechanics than its predecessor (oh... sir! the insult simulator).”
    • “Gameplay-wise, the single player felt way too easy.”
    • “The mechanics just aren't there to make this game interesting after a few sessions.”
    • “The downside of this game is that once you've played through a few times, it doesn't bear a lot of repeat single player gameplay.”
  • graphics12 mentions

    The game's graphics have received mixed reviews, with some players criticizing the art style as hideous and low-effort pixel graphics, while others appreciate the quirky, retro aesthetic and Hollywood theme. Despite some distractions, such as character proportions, the overall visual presentation is considered charming by many, especially with the inclusion of workshop support for custom skins.

    • “Sharp humor with a Monty Python feel, good references, witty lines, and still the same amazing art style.”
    • “[graphics]: same quirky pixel art style, workshop support for custom skins, and a fantastic Hollywood theme both within game art and menu aesthetic.”
    • “The new comeback system is great, the characters, sounds, and graphics are great; the insults are even funnier, and there is decent modding support and workshop content.”
    • “The game has a hideous art style.”
    • “This one has an ugly art style and terrible voice acting.”
    • “They slapped on some low-effort pixel graphics to make it look like they put some effort in (why does everything have to be retro pixel!? oh yes... actual artists cost money) and made it some kind of game where you insult other people instead of just looking at randomly generated insults.”
  • music8 mentions

    The music in the game features a varied soundtrack that complements different scenes, enhancing the overall experience, though some users find the sound effects and music levels excessively loud.

Overall, the music is a mixed bag, with both positive and negative feedback from players.

    • “I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”
    • “The soundtrack varies between scenes, which I can greatly appreciate.”
    • “It's a cute and creative intro; I wouldn't change it, except for the music level.”
    • “The sound effects/music are extremely loud (rip headphone users).”
    • “I've adjusted the volume in settings for the gameplay itself, but it has no effect on the game intro music (perhaps a bug?).”
    • “Songs with lyrics played in the background are not just ruining the atmosphere of this game but also annoy a lot.”
  • story5 mentions

    • “A great sequel that changed the whole plot of the last game to a Hollywood type of feel; definitely worth a try!”
    • “This game's story features a surprising plot twist that keeps you engaged and invested in the characters.”
    • “The solo campaign is kind of boring, mostly because the enemies are incredibly dumb; repeating the same quests for every hero is silly - give everyone different quests, so we have something interesting to aim for.”
    • “This game's roster is smaller than Donald Trump's hands and the AI is weaker than the plot twist in the village, and you know it's true!”
    • “Night Shyamalan plot twist, but it's full of tasteless racist jokes - and your character has never manscaped and got beauty secrets from nude Tom Hardy.”

    • “The achievements are also much easier to obtain, and feel a lot less grindy.”
    • “Getting perfect scores on each duel will award you with new insults (as well as achievements), and the duels aren't really difficult or grindy either.”
