Avis sur The Caligula Effect 2

Even better than the 1rst one !

La majorité de mon temps de jeu vient de la version Switch. Globalement un très bon jeu.

Overall the game is better thant the first one in every aspect, maybe the music quality in the same but i find more good soundtracks in this game than overdose. On a side note compared to Overdose, the casuality links system is less of a chore than the first one but it still boring tho, groups quests are bette r(they are actually quests with a story) but involve a lot of back and forth between NPCs. Took me 58h (IG time) for all achievements on Hard : 20h for the story, 30 h for the casuality links quests + explored all areas, 4h for the lvl 60 grind quest and 4h for the extra stories of each musicians + second playthrough for the bad ending. i didnt do the optional Tower because it wasnt that appealing and there is no story/achievement behind it. Score : 7.5/10 The Goods : -Interresting sets of characters, friends or musicians. Each one got a different personality and trauma. -The OST, mostly dungeons musics is a banger. One of the best i have r heard those last years . -Combat is good and doesnt feels static even if it's turn based. You can counter attacks or guard them when you cant counter. Positionning is important too and risk management is one of the best way to do damage. The game is better played at high difficulty where most of the combat system must be used. -Better level design than the first game. -The optimisation/port on PC is very good, never dropped below 120fps and got 0 crashs. The Bads : -The game need an option to speed up the pre-visualisation of the "round" when you validate an attack. Sometimes annemies attack are quite delayed. -Wish they included the story of each Musicians that you have at the post game in the "actual" game, most of the people wont do it and it's one of the most interesting part of the story. The épilogue is too short aswell. -The X-jack is a "use this skill to win" when upgraded and can triviliase all combats. -The characters skills balance is not that great on high difficulty. The protagonist is the best unit (he/she is mandatory anyway) followed by Kiriko (best buff in the game and very good single damage when high risk/risk break), Shota (high risk attack and strong debuffs). Fourth is whatever but i preffered Gin for the bleed/poison and the +dmg proc via passive. -The casuality links is less messy but still uninterresting and boring to do. -Bestiary is a bit poor.
