The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with many players praising its quality and variety across different modes, describing it as enjoyable and relaxing. However, some users noted that the limited number of tracks leads to repetitiveness, and the lack of synchronization between the music and gameplay detracts from the overall experience. While the soundtrack enhances the game's appeal, players expressed a desire for more music options and the ability to adjust sound settings.
“The soundtrack is incredible to listen to and is slightly different for each of the modes, and the visualizer in the background while playing is mesmerizing and colorful, most likely to distract you from typing to increase the challenge.”
“I love typing games, especially when they're accompanied by a killer soundtrack, but there are a few things that Slash It 2 does fundamentally wrong.”
“The music is great, and this game will improve your typing skills while providing a nice soundtrack.”
“If you're expecting the numbers/letters to pop up in tune with the music, then you are going to be disappointed.”
“The music gets repetitive.”

The grinding aspect of the game is characterized by repetitive gameplay focused on achievement farming, which some players find tedious despite the initial enjoyment. While the action-arcade mechanics are engaging, the grind for achievements can lead to a sense of monotony over time. Overall, it appeals to those who enjoy point grinding but may frustrate others seeking variety.
“Very much more of the same compared to the first one: an action-arcade game with interesting, yet grindy gameplay.”
“First things first though, this game is one of those 'achievement farming' games where you play the game for a low amount of time and gain hundreds of achievements.”
“Gets repetitive after a while of achievement grinding.”

The game's replayability is considered low, with players noting that achieving 100% completion requires minimal time, leading to diminished incentive to replay once all achievements are unlocked.
“As you can see, not a lot of time is needed to get 100% completion, and the replay value of this game is not very high.”
“But just like the first game, the replayability is low after you complete its achievements.”
