Punch Club 2: Fast Forward Reviews

b

I picked up this game cause I was a fan of Graveyard Keeper and thought I'd enjoy this. There's so much potential here, but like with GK, there's some incredibly CHOICE game mechanics that... are more annoying than anything. I'm sorry, if I'm hungry I can't do anything, and if I have food, but I can't eat it because the mom character sleeps the whole daylight, meaning I waste the entire day, and the fact this mechanic has remained the same since apparently 2023? Like, it's a bad mechanic. It's just flat-out bad and annoying and detracts from the experience. There's a sense of dread of just not doing anything the whole time and just waiting by traveling.

I will say yes because i had a good time with it but be aware that this game IS REPETITIVE AS HELL,once you understand the combat system you are just itching for the next fight but regardless each cycle between fights and the fact you have control over the strategy but not the execution make it very frustrating specially when the fights are down to the wire, i had a nice time strong 6/10 but do know that the game will eat up your time and it doesnt have that much variation unless you want to master all fighting style

Not bad strategy (fighter management) game! 6/10 + Not bad sequel. + Good visual style. + Good music. + Lots of references to 90s movies and games. + Good humor. + Not bad gameplay. + Various skill trees and combat tactics. - Bad storyline. - Unfinished ending of the game. - Lots of grind. - Several bugs (several side quests are impossible to complete). Playing "Punch Club 2" feels like the game was made in a hurry and without a scriptwriter, so the first "Punch Club " is much better than "Punch Club 2" in every aspect of the game! - - - - - - - - - - - - - Неплохая стратегия (менеджмент бойца)! 6/10 + Неплохое продолжение. + Хороший визуальный стиль. + Хорошая музыка. + Много отсылок к фильмам и играм 90-х. + Хороший юмор. + Неплохой игровой процесс. + Различные древа умений и боевые тактики. - Плохой сюжет. - Незаконченная концовка игры. - Много гринда. - Несколько багов (невозможно выполнить несколько побочных заданий). Играя в "Punch Club 2", создается ощущение, что игру делали в спешке и без сценариста, поэтому первый "Punch Club" намного лучше "Punch Club 2" в каждом игровом аспекте!

I have really mixed feelings on this one. On one side there are many QOL improvements, better art, music, animations. I liked the fighting system in this one, although I struggled with using dodges until I got the best ones, rng was fucking me over. We get more dialog compared to the first one, just much more going on with both old and new characters, I was interested in the story. But... The story in this one just seems childish, and jokes are not the problem here, although we could have less of them in some moments. Our ultimate goal is to find our father, we meet different characters with different beliefs and those beliefs don't amount to shit in the end. Like man, Roy just straight up died for his friend in the first one, There's no such serious characters expect the police guys. It just feels like a caricature of the first game somehow, but with better QOL and graphics. Hoping they'll make the 3rd one and it will bring back some vibes of the first part, be it in story, jokes or smth else. Still, this game is by no means bad, you're a fan of the Punch Club 1? Go ahead and play this one as well. P.S. DLC is just bad, you have no reason to play it except for ROBOTS!!! The fights are boring, sometimes just unfair, management is annoying even while doing it through the interface, and you have no motivation to complete it except for, well, completing it. You get no money out of it, you only dump it in there. It would be better to have no stamina for the damn robot, or at least give more points for his tree, because unless you made a "correct" choice in your fighting strategy, you may get dead stuck on some enemies. Cool art, funny dialogs, booooooring gameplay that's not encouraged by anything.

Just saw again how bad time managment is in this game. I can't fking eat because my mother is sleeping (stupid anyway). I can't train, i can't sleep myself (energy full), i can't wait... i have to run around in town, wasting time. This is stupid, i deinstall this, i rather play the first one again.

Punch Club 2 is a wild ride of punches, neon lights, and cyberpunk chaos, but honestly, I enjoyed the original more. It’s fun at first—train, fight, rise—but after a while, it’s just rinse and repeat. Still, I’d punch my way through it again for nostalgia’s sake. 🥊💥 Follow my curator page for more chaotic fights, pixelated punches, and all the neon you can handle! 🥊💥✨ [b]https://store.steampowered.com/curator/42602807-Osiris-Reviews/[/b]
