So, with my review of Garten of BanBan 1, I was a bit hopeful, and optimistic, and kind of praising the developers, though not entirely, and I gave the first the benefit of the doubt.
This game however, Garten of BanBan 2, is far worse. And I cannot be genuinely nice to it, I cannot give it the benefit of the doubt. This is plain bad. Let me explain.
So, I played Garten of BanBan 1 the day after it came out, on Janurary 7th, 2023. And I'm pretty sure that it wasn't very known right when it came out, it took a solid week I'm pretty sure, for it to gain traction. After I beat Part 1, I wasn't feeling much about the game, I was very 50/50, very indecisive on it. Not many thoughts or opinions flooded my head when I beat it. I just really only thought, ''If they do a 2nd one, I hope they do it better.'', and when 2 got teased, and they did teasers, and trailers for it, I wasn't excited for it, but my curiosity was there for it. I wanted to see if it would improve upon the 1st game. I became casually optimistic on the game.
The game released March 3rd, 2023. I bought it the day it released, and finished it the day of release. To my dismay, and I should have expected this truthfully, it was less than 2 hours long. And fundamentally as a game, it was far worse. Everything got more nonsensical, and hard to understand. The segments in this game were atrocious, to say the least.
I didn't care for Jumbo Josh as a villain, nor was I surprised by BanBan being the ''helper'' talking to you through the cameras. It all was very predictable, and it also cost 6 dollars for me. 6 dollars more than the previous one. 6 dollars more than what it should have been. BanBan 2 should have been the first game, mix 1 and 2 together, and release that as number 1. And BanBan 3 would become 2, and 4 would become 3, and it become tighter, in my opinion, and more worth your money, even if it's only an added 20 minutes.
They needed this game in the oven much longer than it was in the oven for, only being made for 57 days. It needed 100 at the very least, but if they took 100 days to make a proper game, then god forbid they have to delay BanBan 3.
This game is bad, really bad. I only continued to see where the series would go from here, and I was semi-surprised.
Overall: 3/10
