The combat was downgraded in comparison to AV1, and its clear to me that it wasn't the focus of this game: the enemies are not fun to fight with melee weapons, and most of the time you hack them so they leave you alone. I echo the previous post by Rodney McKay: it is solid, but the first game is still king. I also beat the game today, with 94% of the map and 72% of the items. This game is mainly just nature areas (mountains, cliffs, caves, etc) with some buildings here or there, nothing really remarkable or memorable. The grappling hook was fun, and when you lose your body, I actually ended up liking playing as the drone more than as the human form.īiggest disappointment was honestly just how the game looks. The Drone I did like better in AV2, especially once it's upgraded. It felt a little underused at first, but once you get more abilities the Breach areas become a better part of the game. The Breach areas are kinda cute, I like the 8-bit versions of AV1 enemies. Overall AV2 seems a bit more straightforward.Īlso didn't like that a very useful ability ( fast travel) didn't show up until pretty far into the game. Glitching enemies in the first game felt more interesting for solving puzzles and getting hidden stuff. I have mixed feelings on the hacking mechanic, I like that it makes it easy to see what you can do with the enemies compared to the glitch gun in the first game. The boomerang was never fun for me, and only got decent pretty late in the game after some upgrades. Never really enjoyed the combat as the main character, the melee wasn't bad, but usually ends up with you getting hit. Happ notes that if people really dig the randomiser, they will "be sure to do something similar for Axiom Verge 2-and not take 6 years to do it!" Sadly for us, the sequel has so far only been announced for Nintendo Switch.Just beat the game (95% map, 76% items), I'd say I like it overall, very solid Metroidvania, but nowhere near as much as the first game sadly. AXIOM VERGE 2 WALKTHROUGH GUIDE HOW TOSee the blog post for details on how to opt in on each. The randomiser beta is available now in the Steam and Epic versions of Axiom Verge. Happ also says they're "looking at" including support for Crowd Control, the Twitch extension which can let viewers alter games by giving or taking items and screwing with the rules too. The randomiser also has advanced modes for savvy players who know how to exploit their way through parts of the game, and will take those into account. It was a labor of love, and I'm hugely grateful to all of them." He adds, "They spent years working on this and refused any compensation I offered. AXIOM VERGE 2 WALKTHROUGH GUIDE MODThe randomiser mode started as an Axiom Verge mod made by a number of people, who Happ says "have since worked with me to incorporate it into the game as an official mode of the game". Some functions can be served by several items, after all. The solution just won't necessarily be found in the same place, or even in the same item. Happ explains in yesterday's announcement that the randomiser is clever enough to ensure you will receive gear you need to pass certain barriers and obstacles (in that classic metroidvania way of gear-gating progression). You might blaze through and be blessed with powerful gear early, or struggle to get by. Such modes recapture some of the fun of playing for the first time by encouraging us to explore everything, and add drama to return visits.

AXIOM VERGE 2 WALKTHROUGH GUIDE MODSRandomisers have been popular in recent years through mods for everything from Dark Souls to old Zeldas, and modders made one for Axiom Verge too. Creator Tom Happ is officially adding a randomiser mode, which will shuffle the placement of orders to spice up repeat runs. As if Axiom Verge weren't already glitchy enough, with the vibe that you might be dying inside a computer, soon items won't be where you expect to find them.
