What players say

Players describe Axiom Verge 2 as a Metroidvania that emphasizes exploration over combat, a stark shift from its predecessor. The ending draws frequent criticism for feeling abrupt and unsatisfying. Opinions split on the breach mechanic, and many note enemies feel tanky in the early game.
