  Developer Critical Games has done a commendable job putting together a fantastic retro RPG. One that paces itself well, offers unique mechanics at every turn, and has a fun cast of characters. It also bridges the whole meta-shenanigans of computers playing host to video games quite well and uses that advantage whenever it can. 8-Bit Adventures 2 gets a thumbs up in my book and trust me when I say I’m not always keen on throwing the toe’s cousin up like that.

  I honestly could probably spend several more paragraphs talking at length about all the stuff I enjoyed while playing the game, but you probably get the gist by now. 8-Bit Adventures 2 is a marvelous retro-styled RPG that utilizes all the best aspects of the genre while avoiding the worst. Though I do wish the game did more mechanically to stand apart from the crowd, this is nevertheless a well-made, funny RPG with a ton of heart.

  The game has its flaws, but it gave me a positively enjoyable experience that reminded me why I fell in love with the genre in the first place. A lot of love went into crafting 8-Bit Adventures 2, and I recommend showing some love back and checking out the game for yourself.

  8-Bit Adventures 2 is the ideal sequel, and it’s just as easy to jump into without knowing anything about the first game-the story from the first title is worked in wonderfully. Between a fantastic story with endearing, well-written characters and combat that utilizes every feature available, the game is perfect for any JRPG fan.

  All of this makes 8-Bit Adventures 2 shine as a quality game regardless if it doesn’t present any groundbreaking systems in the genre. This game is a love letter to retro adventures that we’re intimately familiar with by now. Rather than push it to be something that seeks to change the experience, it celebrates it.
