God Eater 2 has an interesting story, but it suffers from a slow pace in the early moments of the game. Some characters sound as if they were recorded on Skype, whilst others seem professionally done. ItвЂ™s just a shame about those quality drops. Bandai Namco deliver on the localisation once more. That aside, the acting quality is what IвЂ™ve come to appreciate. ItвЂ™s so apparent on the Playstation 4 that youвЂ™ll either accept it or put the game down.

From punches thrown in cut scenes not making an impactful thud (some even falling silent, to oddly muffled voice acting suddenly shifting to a clearer performance. ItвЂ™s because of the aforementioned high points that the lows hit so damn low. And then thereвЂ™s the orchestral rendition of an important song laid over the ending credits, with hauntingly beautiful vocals. The battle-ready horns that sound as you prepare for your next mission couldnвЂ™t be more appropriate. To an extent that shocked me, to be honest.

The voice actors are familiar and memorable, in full English dub. This may feel like something of a rehash if youвЂ™re familiar with the previous game. I, as a newcomer, feel like IвЂ™m playing a large, cohesive whole within these games, so IвЂ™m happy, but veteran God Eaters might not feel the same way. Expectations I canвЂ™t assuredly state have been met for fans. When you label a game вЂњ2вЂќ, that sequel assignment comes with expectations. A good expansion, but an expansion all the same. In many ways, God Eater 2 appears to be more of an expansion. I canвЂ™t speak to that myself but, if true, thatвЂ™s a shame. From what I understand, the majority of the areas are rehashes of the first game. TheyвЂ™re also fairly small and the camera can cause some issues, especially in its default close-up setting. There are very few battle locations, in which the missions take place. Even the late-game palette swaps can surprise with hybrid enemies appearing on occasion. I was really impressed with the designs of the enemies. Going from hulking mech-gorillas to a mutated Magikarp, not to mention the ridiculous boss monsters.

Get deep enough in, however, and youвЂ™ll start seeing some really interesting designs. These вЂњAragamiвЂќ came in the typical вЂњthis colour means this elementвЂќ palette swap. And then the Aragami CameвЂ¦.ДЄt first, the monster design seemed repetitive. ThatвЂ™s always a plus, whether youвЂ™ve created a man or woman. ThereвЂ™s a load of outfits to craft, giving your created character a more personalised feel. Attractive young people wield giant weapons that transform in to other giant weapons. In contrast to the simple fantasy setting of Monster Hunter, ShiftвЂ™s вЂњGod EaterвЂќ is thoroughly Japanese animation in aesthetic.

This is a PSP game brought to Vita and PS4.

Make no mistake though: despite its presence on Playstation 4, this game is portable by nature. For a game that visually depicts a post-apocalyptic world being ravaged by monsters, God Eater 2 is surprisingly vibrant.
