after putting some time into this game, getting used to its really weird systems for a couple hours, i get it. this game rocks. doesnt deserve mixed reviews at all, i definitely find it more fun than the predecessor GoNNER 1 (which has significantly better reviews). in retrospect, i at first agreed with a lot of the negative reviews; that the game is too opaque, and there's too much going on - and it's not helped by the aoe/pop-in effect can make things a lot more disorienting. but you eventually do get a grip on things, and the game becomes a fluid frantic frenzy of colorful ♥♥♥♥, it rocks. Playing with a controller helps (i use steam/xbox). i was using X to shoot, not realizing i could use the right stick and right bumper to shoot, and left trigger to jump. when i started using those controls, the game felt way better.

no começo eu n tava entendendo nada, no final parecia que tava no começo

This game is a fever dream.

What is this game even?

Ein wenig mehr casual als der Erste aber auch gut

My recommendation of GONNER2 is a bit reluctant. While the gameplay felt a bit too confusing at times, the visual style is just so unique and fun. I think it's worth playing a bit just to see stuff moving around. I've seen some people in the reviews say that the first one is a lot better (and it seems to have similar aesthetics), so maybe try that one instead if you like what you see...? Anyway, looks lovely, can be a bit overwhelming.

GONNER2 is very enjoyable to play. The gameplay is fun and smooth on a controller. The different weapons and power-ups offers many possibilities, and the Headless/Gunless/Packless challenges are gratifiting (while being very demending). The procedural generation is quite impressive too, I don't think I ever got an issue in my dozens of hours. But it also feels way less inspired than its predecessor. I would have loved some more interactivities, easter-eggs and secret areas: overall some new lore. It might sound rude, but it feels a bit like a Gonner1.5 with coop. After 5 years you can still got stuck between 2 levels, and the hitboxes can sometimes be clanky around some surfaces. I don't think the game receive any update after launch, which sounds like a miss opportunity (no BLÜEBERRY Edition-like update). But that's maybe a me-problem. Still I'll be there if one day there is a follow-up game.
