Critic Reviews
Game Forces PT
By Carlos SilvaSoul Hackers 2 is a solid turn-based RPG, but it fails to introduce anything new or consolidate all elements of the introduced experience. Fortunately, it features great characterization and a solid plot that keeps us on our toes throughout the game. Fans of Shin Megami Tensei will certainly be able to enjoy it, but overall there are better alternatives.

By Christos ChatzisavvasSet in a cyberpunk setting, with dozens of demons and a big mystery at its center, Soul Hackers 2 attempts to give players a variation on Atlus' classic JRPG formula.

By Lilly KirchnerAn intriguing story, interesting battle system, and signature art style is usually a good combo, and Soul Hackers 2 is no exception. It is easy to get lost in the story or side-quests and enjoy battling a variety of demons. For anybody enjoying Atlus' other turn-based titles, this is definitely a must-have.

By Sarim IrfanOutside of its wonderful characters, Soul Hackers 2 is mostly just competent. There's fun to be had, but it ultimately feels plain.
Geeks Under Grace
By Jamie RiceA great beginning point for Atlus newcomers, but veterans might be disappointed.
