Rating : (6.5/10) No more heroes 2 has to be one of the most lackluster sequels I’ve ever played. I believe the only leg up this has over the original is the snappiness of combat and the amazing soundtrack here. The charmless fast travel only mini map , somehow more boring part time jobs , and the ruination of all of Travis’ development at the end of nmh 1 by making him into a walking trope makes this game feel like a step back. I often hear people say the story in this game isn’t meant to be taken seriously but if that’s the case I don’t think it makes much sense to have it be a revenge plot to avenge an already irrelevant character. Sometimes it felt like more of a chore than a game in the gameplay department as well because we’ve somehow taken a step back from the level design of the original which already wasn’t all too fun to just kill room after kill room .
