The main character was not even remotely relatable. As the game progressed, I ended up turning it down more and more. The music was okay but extremely repetitive. The attack sound effects, the sounds of breaking boxes, and many, many more sound effects were terrible to listen to. Compared to all other sound that plays through my system, I had to put the sound at the lowest setting and it still was too loud. The sound effects were god awful and way too loud. If you were to tell me the entire world was just ran through a randomizer, I would not be surprised. There weren't memorable locations that made it easy to get a sense of direction to back track to later. Axiom Verge 2 on the other hand, had me wanting to quit playing 5 minutes into each session. It was a really fun game to play, To me, it felt like a spiritual successor to Super Metroid. Axiom Axiom Verge 1 felt extremely polished.

Either way, Axiom Verge 2 is an excellent Metroidvania, and a rare perfect example of a series that can balance quality and change to deliver something new.Īxiom Verge 1 felt extremely polished.
If you loved the first Axiom Verge then odds are good the second one is everything you hoped for, and if you’ve never played the original then the standalone nature of the sequel means you don’t have to worry about having missed out. And of course the soundtrack is fantastic, with its non-US-traditional instruments and vocalizing. The switch back and forth between Indra and the drone provides a nice change of pace, with each earning different abilities that complement the other. The level design is every bit as good if not better, featuring varied biomes that stand on their own but eventually all interconnect as new skills open up more passages. Indra isn’t Trace so her skills and abilities don’t try to mirror his too closely, and the world she’s been dropped into frequently has wide open vistas in its background instead of more types of caverns. Axiom Verge 2 is exactly what a sequel should be in that it’s more of the same but different.
