3.5/5 ★ – Blobulus's review of Axiom Verge 2.

This is the most recent game I’ve beaten so I’ll put in a few words about it. I loved the first one and was honestly a bit disappointed by this one, but that doesn’t make it a bad game. The moment to moment gameplay & exploration aspects of this game are immaculate, I couldn’t stop thinking about it and was excited to see where I would go next. The combat is another story. Enemies are all the same & boss presence is minimal or skippable. One of my favourite parts of the first game, and most metroidvanias are the boss fights. In that department this game was sorely lacking.
