The story in "Tomato Way 2" is generally regarded as an improvement over its predecessor, offering a more engaging narrative centered around the protagonist's father and their relationship. While some players appreciate the adaptive storytelling and side quests that enhance the experience, others criticize the overall execution and coherence of the plot. Despite mixed feelings about gameplay mechanics, many agree that the story adds depth and emotional resonance to the game.
“The story is adaptive, allowing for the player to engage in small side quests and recruit people to fight with them, making the experience much more enjoyable.”
“What Tomato Way 2 lacks in engaging combat is a nicely wrapped story about Tomate's father.”
“A wonderful and inspiring story, this tells you about a troubled father's past and how he and his adopted son came together.”
“Tw 2 can be compared in many ways to tw 1, but only to look at a better game, because not even tw 1 felt as buggy and poorly put together like its sequel. The combat is terrible in every way possible, platforming is somehow worse, and the only point to give is that it tries to have a story this time, but it's still utter nonsense.”
“My largest worry with Tomato Way was that the storyline would lead to an end and that the game would not continue.”
“Overall, Tomato Way 2 has a better story, and technically is a big advancement graphically from the first game, but the first game is more fun.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players criticizing it for being poorly executed and janky, particularly in a third-person hack and slash context. However, others appreciate the blend of platforming and shooting elements, highlighting the challenging gameplay and impressive boss fights that contribute to an immersive experience.
“It's filled with challenging gameplay, magnificent boss fights, and an intense and immersive atmosphere.”
“Unfortunately, the gameplay is so poor that it made me stop playing.”
“Unfortunately, as far as gameplay goes, there is a certain level of broken jankiness you can get away with in an FPS that just does not fly in a 3rd person hack and slash.”
“Gameplay-wise, it's a 3rd person game that's half platformer, half shooter.”

“Tw 2 can be compared in many ways to Tw 1, but only to look at a better game, because not even Tw 1 felt as buggy and poorly put together like its sequel. The combat is lacking in every way possible, platforming is somehow worse, and while it tries to have a story this time, it's still utter nonsense.”
“It's a good game, but it's a bit glitchy. You can easily clip through walls, doors, etc. Overall, the game is decent, but please fix the major glitches.”
