Soul Hackers 2

女神転生,デビルサマナー,ペルソナのいいとこどりをしたら全てにおいて半端な作品が出来上がった

The game does have good points. Ringo is a delightful protagonist, the graphics are crisp and the colours pop nicely and it is a very good game to play while you watch something else on the side. Aside from this however, pretty much every other part of the game is painfully boring. The battle system is bland and lacks the depth of combat from Atlus' other series, all the dungeons are boring to look at and half your time is going to be spent in this blank void teleporter maze of a dungeon where everything looks the same, the music is forgettable, the characters do have interesting arcs but ultimately fail to make you care about any of them but the biggest impression you get is that at default speeds, everything about the game is painfully slow. Every animation in battle and even Ringo's movement speed seems to take 3x as long as you'd think to the point that not using the toggle to double battle speed is akin to watching paint dry. Despite changing the Devil Summoner/Shin Megami Tensei battle system of summoning demons to something more familiar for players coming over from the Persona series, the story is ultimately too concerned with the Devil Summoner setting to draw Persona fans and the changes to combat and the mishandling of the established Devil Summoner setting will alienate any Devil Summoner fans who make it far enough in to the game to find these out. Avoid this game, but if you are an Atlus fan who can't help but be curious about their biggest fumble in recent years, please at least buy it on a steep discount so it doesn't hurt as much financially.

As a gamer that has over 1000 hours playing overwatch and league of legends in each, i loved this game, i came from persona 4, finished persona 3, persona 5, persona 5 strikers, shin megami tensei III, shin megami tensei IV and shin megami tensei V, once i finish soul hackers 2 i will be there for shin megami tensei VV. As for soul hackers 2, the plot is somewhat thin, but the characters grow on you, and the battle mechanics are to be enjoyed if you have played other atlus game.

Finished the game. I'd rate it slightly above average, 6/10. If you enjoy Atlas games or turn-based combat, give it a go on sale. Expect 60-70 hours to complete the main story and there's probably another 10-30 hours if you want to go 100% completion. The beginning of the game is stronger than the end. Combat, the story, text dialogue, music all becomes repetitive the last few main story chapters of the game. I was just trying to get through it more than having fun. I don't regret playing this game, nor will I ever pick it up again. AKA not even close to a must play, but you may get a decent amount of entertainment out of it for 15 bucks on sale.

This is my second attempt to finish this game (the first one was back at launch on PS5). Since release they added some important QoL updates, but the core problems are still exactly the same. This time I only managed to push a bit further before dropping it again. The game was made by the team behind Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE. Funny thing is, aside from QoL and the story, Soul Hackers 2 is worse than Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE in pretty much every way. And it’s not like the story in Soul Hackers 2 is actually good – it’s just less bad than the one in Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE. The main issue with Soul Hackers 2 is the low budget and the fact that the game doesn’t even try to hide it. The dungeons are absolutely awful and repetitive, and the Soul Matrix (the character story dungeon) is even more boring and samey. Progression feels weak, and the whole game feels stripped down compared to most other Megami Tensei titles. Honestly, it’s probably one of the weakest entries in the entire series.

[h1]《灵魂骇客2》 [/h1] 33个小时，2个周目，全成就达成。同样是atlus，p5跟本作却是天壤之别。 满分5分打5分，5分给到女主林檎的腿，迷宫设计和剧情逻辑0分。以后建议美工骑着策划上班。 首先是这个迷宫设计，大量无意义的岔路口，死胡同。各种二叉树的复制粘贴。尤其是个人剧情地图，密度极大的无意义面对面传送，或是冗杂的无序单向传送门，大量的传送门只能去一个一个试错。地图上更没有任务标识和具有识别性的建筑。这么无序杂乱的迷宫，蚂蚁来了都得迷路。 为了全成就，地图中的道具需要收集，不能错过任何的小路岔路。唯一能很好的应对该迷宫的方法，大概只有最原始直接的穷举法了。 剧情方面，整体的前中期是很中规中矩的JRPG剧情，后期人物真实身份的揭晓，角色之间的矛盾以及演出都可以评得上出彩。但是剧情末期偏偏出了一个大雷点，大部分玩家认为的剧情问题都是在这个雷点，没有任何塑造衔接，没有丝毫逻辑可言，使得游戏剧情的风评也差强人意。 游戏评分低不无道理，当时也只是单纯的看到女主好看然后买的。游戏整体内容抽象点也无所谓，人物讨喜就行了。游戏地图需要大量的记忆背板，非资深游戏玩家慎入。

クリアまでプレイしました。 29時間のプレイでしたが、このゲームにこれだけの時間を費やすくらいなら、他のもっと奥が深いストーリーのゲームをやれば良かったと、とても後悔しています。 フィールドやバトル部分のパートはある程度洗練されていて、アトラスらしい出来だと思います。しかしながら、ストーリー、人物描写、BGMなどは、若手に「好きなように作ってみなさい」と言って作られたような出来で、未熟さが目立ちます。 ストーリー展開の魅せ方が非常に下手で、せっかくの舞台設定や隠れた設定が全く活かせていないです。 人物描写についても、喜怒哀楽の表現が非常にとぼしく、キャラクタの会話の中に「気持ちの表現」が無いので人物像が見えてこないです。BGMも平凡そのものです。 途中盛り上がるはずのシーンでも、実は○○でしたと分かったところでほとんど何も感じなかったですし、ラストステージのパートも、キャラの描写が下手すぎるせいで、この人誰だっけ？どうでもいいや、、みたいになりました。 エンドロールクレジットを見たところ、いろんなゲーム会社に外注していたようですが、外注して出てきたものに対して、手直しやレビューを怠った（ようにしか見えない）アトラスは反省してほしいです。
