  • gameplay
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally praised for its engaging mechanics, such as the 10-second don't-get-hit timer and the snap mechanic, which add intensity and strategy to the experience. While the new features and improved dynamics enhance the overall fun, some players feel that the gameplay can become repetitive after a few hours, despite the variety of weapons and mechanics introduced. Overall, it represents a significant improvement over the first game, though some technical hitches and balance issues remain.

    • “The gameplay is excellent too; the 10-second don't-get-hit timer increases the stakes massively, forcing you to play perfectly for that duration in order to keep progressing.”
    • “The core gameplay is fun if you like shooting different shapes with multiple different weapons.”
    • “Gameplay-wise, the game is a massive improvement from the first game, and I honestly have no complaints about the gameplay.”
    • “The issue is that the gameplay gets real stale real fast and you seemingly have seen most of what it has to offer in like 30 minutes.”
    • “There are also some hitches during gameplay, which can be annoying.”
    • “You can probably get a solid 2-6 hours of gameplay until it gets repetitive.”
  • graphics
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are generally praised for their improvement over the previous installment, featuring great artwork and a new art style that enhances the overall experience. However, players have reported significant optimization issues, particularly with AMD graphics cards, leading to crashes and performance problems. While the visuals are impressive, some users feel that the game struggles to maintain clarity and smooth performance, especially on high-end hardware.

    • “The artwork is great, it's also why I tried the game.”
    • “New art style very nice, gameplay is interesting.”
    • “It seems the game just doesn't work with AMD graphic cards.”
    • “Speaking of optimization, for the visuals the game has, it's kind of disappointing that the game maxes out my 1080 Ti just to push 120 fps.”
    • “Graphics are heavily improved (much more of the good stuff is shown).”
  • optimization
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization has received criticism, with users noting high RAM usage (18GB) and performance issues such as crashes and bugs when changing resolution. While the graphics and art are praised, many players experience performance spikes and suboptimal frame rates, indicating a need for better optimization compared to its predecessor.

    • “The game has impressive graphics and art, but it needs more optimization. The previous version worked perfectly and opened quickly, even on ultra settings, while this one takes a long time to load and experiences crashes or bugs when changing the resolution.”
    • “For the visuals the game has, it's kind of disappointing that it maxes out my 1080ti just to push 120 fps.”
    • “After looking at performance metrics, the game is using a whopping 18 GB of RAM.”
    • “Seems like possibly a lack of optimization in how objects are loaded in.”
    • “Speaking of optimization, for the visuals the game has, it's kind of disappointing that the game maxes out my 1080 Ti just to push 120 FPS.”
  • music
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “Music hits me so hard.”
    • “It's like the first game but lighter (not as colorful, but that's good for seeing incoming enemies). There are only a few game modes and soundtracks, but the flow of combat feels better, and the artist, Blacktar, did a sick job!”
    • “My favorite part of the game is the art and the music. This is the artistic heart of gold this game has going for it, and I do hope more content is made to follow.”
    • “It's like the first game but lite (not as colorful but that's good for seeing enemies incoming, only a few game modes and soundtracks), but the flow of combat feels better and the artist, Blacktar, did a sick job!”
    • “My favorite part of the game is the art and the music; this is the artistic heart of gold this game has going for it, and I do hope more content is made to follow.”

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is severely criticized, with users reporting a persistent black screen issue that hinders loading and consumes excessive RAM, often leading to crashes or freezes. Additionally, there has been no patch released since 2022 to address these problems, leaving the game in a broken state.

    • “This game is straight up broken though with no patch in sight since 2022: there's a common black screen issue which prevents the game from loading and hogs all your RAM until your PC either crashes, freezes, or it miraculously loads after waiting nearly 15 minutes.”
    • “All other troubleshooting has failed as well.”
  • replayability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviewers express disappointment in the game's replayability, noting a lack of content with only two modes available. While some improvements have been made, the removal of certain features has diminished the overall replay value, leaving players with limited incentives to return.

    • “I wish it had more content, to be honest. There are only two modes, and not much replay value unless you're trying to max your score.”
    • “The game improves on its predecessor substantially, but it also removed several elements that added to the replayability.”
    • “I just wish it had more content, to be honest. There are only two modes and not much replay value unless you're trying to max your score.”
