Mega Man Star Force 2 is a divisive title, because is loved by some, and is hated by others, me, being one who hates it
SF2 improves in some ways compared to the original SF1 (more if you don't count the DX patch) as it has some gameplay changes to the game, being like the Wave World is handled different now, more cards and enemies to fight, and being a step up in terms of difficulty compared with SF1, the problem I have with this game, isn't about the gameplay in battles mostly, as this one even evolved considering Mega Man has more than just 1 transformation, and these ones do cool things, is about the story and the gameplay between battles
One thing I really liked about Star Force 1, was his story, yeah, it had some flaws sometimes, but it was pretty enjoyable to me, and the thing with Star Force 2 is, it has a straight messy story, one that isn't exciting as the first one, taking a more, villain of the week, with new characters who are kinda lame (Geo and his friends are alright), especially the villains, there's 0 villains that I liked from SF2, and getting a bit away about the themes of Stars and commets, yeah, it isn't bad to put a new setting, something to focus, that weren't about space, but the new, ancient setting, wasn't well excuted, and I actually think a bit of the lore here would be so much better if it was replaced with something else instead
And that wasn't even the last of my problems, I said the battles are fine, they are actually great, but the game has so much padding/filler than the first one, because aside of having more dumb missions to advance the story, there's the high encounter rate, one that some people don't care, but I do, and considering I used a mod/hack that lowered these, but even then I felt it was a bit high after some hours into the game, I don't want to imagine how would be if I played it without that hack, it's probably painful, and for the worst I think this Star Force has the worst dungeons out of the three, majority of them suck (the ice one if pretty fun tho)
And the ending, the ending, is just, at best okay, but dude, at that point I was already tired of this game, the unique reason I say the ending is ok, is because it has probably one of the best final bosses out from the Star Force trilogy
I just think SF2 was a good game that evolved the SF2 gameplay, but it devolved in the rest, making it for me, a kinda eh game, if you want harder battles, and you don't care that much about how the story is, because is just a bit boring, then you cuold probably enjoy SF2, much better than I did when I played it, but for now, just gonna say, I didn't like it, and that's it
