June 2025

Good game, great continuation of the story. The story writing was great, the controls are tighter than the previous game but only after you get all updates, with early level of ability unlocks inviting a bit of frustration. I would love to see what a 3rd game would bring! If the dev is reading this : Thanks for making the game.

Everything you Love about Super Metroid-Vania is instantly enhanced and greatly expanded on in the sequel to the smash hit Axiom Verge. The maps are huge, the secrets are many and the game play is FUN! I cannot say enough great things about this game. The first Axiom Verge was made by Thomas Happ alone! This one he had a little more help with it but its still mostly him. Its an incredible and captivating story about different universes which combines ancient lore and lost history tid bits into the fold. Its an artful masterpiece that could easily become a household console name like Metal Gear or Metroid or Mario. We are even more blessed to have it on Steam! BOTTOM LINE: BUY THIS GAME! Its worth far more than you are paying!!!! Best of all buying this game helps support the health care of his Son whom is disabled for life from terrible health care here in the US. If I had a nickle for every time the ER nearly killed me, I would be rich, but I dont and neither did Thomas when the hospital discharged his son with a critical condition that only got worse. His son had jaundice and the toxins built up and caused brain damage. If it were not for the first game being successful, his son would not even have health care. Thanks to Thomas for pouring his heart and soul into the Axiom verge series! His son will continue to get the life long care he needs. I can only hope Axiom Verge 3 is half as good as the first two were. These games are modern miracles and we should endeavor to support more high quality work like this! I am just grateful I lived long enough to taste the imagination and genius of such creativity. I love you Thomas. You made a childhood dream come true for me twice now!

Absolutely incredible game. If you loved the first Axiom Verge, this one makes an excellent sequel. It's similar enough to the first game to warrant the Axiom Verge title, but different enough to make it feel like a fresh injection of blood into the series, which is what I love most in a sequel. In case you aren't familiar, the original Axiom Verge was like a love letter to Super Metroid - in gameplay, yes, but even moreso in capturing that weird, ethereal alien beauty that Super Metroid captured so well. Both Axiom Verge games use a gorgeous pixel art style to create fascinating alien landscapes reminiscent of HR Giger paintings, mixed with splashes of eastern cultures (Russian, Indian, Kazakh, etc). Atmosphere plays a huge part in the charm of both games, and 2 delivers in spades on that front. The music was especially good! I was a bit ambivalent at first about the change from gun-based combat to more of a melee focus, but you learn to get over that quickly enough, and as the game's story comes together, it makes more sense contextually anyway. The core gameplay loop is still intact regardless, hitting just the right mix of collectible-hunting, experimenting, hacking enemies to change their behavior, and accidentally discovering speedrun tricks along the way. Everything comes together in a very satisfying way. What else can I say, really? I was super pumped to learn about this sequel, and now that I've finally gotten to sit down and play through it, I am super pumped to say it was fucking worth the wait!

It's still a great game but I do feel the first game is better. AV2 has pixel art styled graphics which are somewhere in between NES and SNES level and the soundtrack is nicely put together. The exploration aspect can be a little much at times and I found myself a little frustrated after trying to find a way to make progress at several points. There are goal indicators but these are often false friends as the way forward is obstructed by an ability you don't yet have. I still did enjoy it, overall, but not quite as much as the original AV

Sideways thumb. It has some really nice music, varied environments and you find a lot of upgrades early on. On top of regular metroidvania abilities, you acquire skillpoints that you can put into things like HP, weapon damage and perhaps most interestingly: Hacking. You can hack enemies to take control of them or bosses to disable much of their weaponry. Despite all these positive factors, i felt very take or leave it with the game (and am leaving it). Kinda how I felt with games like MindSeize and Vision Soft Reset. It's hard for me to pinpoint anything specific that leaves me feeling this way about it. Navigation has the potential to get a little confusing and that is definitely one factor.. Perhaps i'm just not enraptured enough with its level design.
