    36 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has received positive feedback for its engaging mechanics, such as the 10-second don't-get-hit timer and the snap mechanic, which heighten the stakes and add excitement. Players appreciate the variety of weapons and new features introduced in the sequel, though some note that the experience can become repetitive after a few hours. Overall, the gameplay is seen as a significant improvement over the first game, despite some minor issues like hitches during play.

    • “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.”
    • “Rule No. 2 has a lot more to offer players, with more mechanics—an interesting Thanos snap to finish off cubes, a dash to finish off idle enemies in stasis, and the ability to pick some of your favorite guns (God Stilettos are fun).”
    • “They definitely improved from the first game; this feels very good and dynamic. Thanks for the dash and grenade buffs! The art and design of weapons are fantastic, and I like all the new mechanics.”
    • “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
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are praised for their significant improvement and appealing art style, showcasing more detailed visuals and artwork compared to its predecessor. However, players report issues with optimization, particularly on AMD graphic cards, leading to crashes and performance problems, even on high-end setups. Overall, while the graphics are visually impressive, the game's performance and clarity need further refinement.

    • “The artwork is great, it's also why I tried the game.”
    • “New art style very nice, gameplay is interesting.”
    • “Graphics are heavily improved (much more of the good stuff is shown)”
    • “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
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization has received mixed reviews, with players noting high RAM usage (up to 18GB) and performance issues such as crashes and bugs when changing resolutions. While the graphics and art are praised, many feel that the game struggles to run smoothly, even on capable hardware, leading to performance spikes and a general sense of disappointment given the visual demands. Overall, it appears that further optimization is needed to enhance stability and performance.

    • “The game is very good in graphics, arts, and additions compared to the previous one, but it needs more optimization. The first one works perfectly and opens very quickly; I even play it in ultra. However, this one simply takes a long time and crashes or bugs occur when changing the resolution. I have a Ryzen 3, Vega 3, and 8GB of RAM.”
    • “After looking at performance metrics, the game is using a whopping 18GB of RAM.”

    • “Its 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.”
    • “Music hits me so hard”

Despite attempts at troubleshooting, players have found no effective solutions, and there has been no patch released since 2022 to address these problems.
