- 7.0Mortal Shell II is a fun and action-packed Souls-like RPG, and in terms of gameplay and battles it's a delight. It's just a shame that the style, visuals, and overall aesthetic aren't nearly as impressive.
- Mortal Shell II is an entertaining and refreshing Soulslike with brutal combat. Find out what we thought in our Mortal Shell II PS5 review!
- 8.0The follow-up to one of the best and most accessible Soulslike games looks to Elden Ring for inspiration, with its new open world environment.
- 9.0Mortal Shell 2 is the AA answer to Elden Ring. More focused, no less vicious, and every bit as hard to put down. This land wants you dead, but it rewards every step.
- 9.0Mortal Shell 2 is a significant step up from its modest predecessor and one of the best Soulslikes in recent memory.
