To skip over all the other reviews saying this game is like drugs or feeling like a melting ice cream or whatever, all I can say is Hylics 2 is one of the most beautiful and meaningful games to come out in the new decade. A lot of games that go for this weird artistic style usually just stick to being weird and that's it, while Hylics actually has a theme and a story, which the second game gives some more very interesting lore and world building with both the sparse dialogue and visual elements it provides. It also has a GOD TIER soundtrack that may get a bit grading after a while of just listening to it on its own, but it surprisingly compliments the game on an impossibly good level. The revamped combat system has its ups and downs from the normal RPGM standards, such as not having any clear turns or initiative order, but the simplistic design and mind blowing visuals easily make up for it, even if you can't tell what some of those visuals are. Platforming could obviously be done better, but it's good for what it is and fits to the world despite the world itself being a tangled mess. All of this combines into an amazing feeling when you finally go to kick Gibby's ass, and you feel the same grand steaks the characters probably do.

And that is why wearing nothing but a red poncho, leather boots, and a skull crown makes Somsnosa is the best meta waifu.
