“This game gets a lot of flack it doesn't deserve. It's far from perfect but is exactly the niche spin off game SMT fans historically love. The gameplay is almost identical to SMT: Strange Journey and is one of the few…”

“The game is beautiful, history and characters incredible like all Atlus games, The only problem probably is the dungeons .”
“It's not as bad as people say it is. The atmosphere is great. There are a few good characters. The only problem is the dungeon system feeling repetitive. The combat is kinda 5/10 by ATLUS standards. Overall I'd get this…”
“My feelings on Soul Hackers 2 are mixed. The Overall Combat is great, i wish there would be more to the Sabbath System than just a follow up that is more often rather a nice bonus than a central mechanic to be played…”

“Super solid entry-level SMT game that's perfect if you want a quick, chill JRPG that doesn't overthink itself. Not too smart, not too dumb — just the right amount of brainless fun. Huge recommend if it's on deep sale!”

“This game has some rough points, but I think it's overall good. It feels like an SMT that was made on a shoestring budget. It has the core creature collecting and battle features you want, but lacks polish. Recommended…”

“Just completed the game. Is it worth $120? No Is it worth to buy on a discount for $20+? Probably The good points: Pretty graphics. Ringo is cute Story is decent The bad points: The map - It is unnecessarily long and…”
“Sure, it's slop, but it's *good* slop. Wouldn't pay more than $25 for it, though. Nor would I recommend it to someone who doesn't eat up this kind of garbage already .”

“soul hackers 2 is a perfectly fine video game that unfortunately sits between flashier games in atlus' wide catalogue of games. it's hard to recommend because you could recommend the widely available persona games, smt5 vengeance or metaphor instead. i feel like if dungeons were…”
— a player, Steam review · 34 hrs played“Soul Hackers 2 is a game that pushes against its budget but manages to put forward a fun, party-focused story despite some frayed edges. As a relatively current gen game, it looks great. Gameplay-wise, it tweaks the SMT/Persona weakness-based battle system into something new…”
— a player, Steam review · 102 hrs played“As a person who enjoy playing Persona games and SMT games, Soul Hackers 2 felt like a chore to play, especially the soul matrix areas. The Game is SHORT if they cut off the unnecessarily long maps. I spent roughly 80% of my time just trying to figure out the map pattern because…”
