Ghat's story is far from over: Zeno Clash 2 picks up where the deliciously brazen first game left off. After 4 years of waiting, the sequel to the surreal first-person brawler brings more variety in combat and levels, and even more bizarre storytelling into the beguiling world of Zenozoik. Join forces with your former foe Rimat and battle against scores of angry denizens, preventing their dastardly machinations from being realized. Zeno Clash 2 welcomes new players to the Zeno Clash universe with a new game that will bring them into the universe and fill them in on the backstory. Returning players will delight in the connections between the new settings and the first adventure. All players will thoroughly enjoy playing a first-person brawler that provides a rarity in modern gaming: a truly unique experience. Zeno Clash 2 has beefed up its combat engine with precision punch targeting, blocking, and high-impact hits that only make the bone-crunching, face-rattling fistcuffs more satisfying. The new "Lock-on" function gives players a wider range of control for dishing out the damage. New RPG mechanics will allow Ghat and Rimat to punch harder, defend better, and recruit more powerful allies to aid in their quest. Zeno Clash 2 now harnesses the full power of the Unreal III engine to bring the bizarre and beautiful world of Zenozoik to life. ACE Team's boundless imagination brings gamers into a universe of surreal foes, fantastic locations, and truly unique visuals that is unlike anything else you will ever play. With the newly added drop-in/drop-out co-op play, Zeno Clash 2 invites you AND a friend to dive once more into the fray!

They made it like an open world with quantitative leveling, but what for? The plot hurts in the area of ​​logic, when kidnapped children with Stockholm syndrome are still drawn to the mother who shitted in the first part, the biological parents are shown as even more lousy, or even traitors. Then something interesting about the structure of this world begins to flash in the plot, secret places with additional revelation of the story help, in principle, the places are beautifully made.

I kinda love the philosophical conflict that this game's characters have. This game and its world has one of the best explorations of law vs chaos I have seen. Like the first the gameplay isn't good enough that I would do the combat without the story and atmosphere, but it's good enough not to get in the way of enjoying the other aspects.

A sequel that suffers by having been made open world unfortunately

I didn't get on as well with this one as I did its predecessor. For one, I think a lot of 1's charm is lost in the higher production value. Plus, for how "improved" the combat is touted as, it honestly feels worse to me? I just don't know.

It's Zeno Clash, but it's less like a waking fever dream and more like a real, functional video game this time!

It's still really weird!

And the lunging double fist punch looks really dumb!

I really like this game!!

the combat of the first one felt better, maybe its because of the stamina consumption feeling so high in this one. Also dislike the fact that an important part of the world lore is hidden behind a collectible.
