2. Axiom Verge 2 (Switch) Review - Nintendo World Report
Aug 11, 2021 · Axiom Verge 2 is a fantastic evolution of Axiom Verge 1—it feels like a different game, but with enough gameplay and story connections to remain ...
It’s hard to believe it’s been six long years since Tom Happ gifted the world with Axiom Verge, a game I’ve since played through several times on several different systems. Essentially summarized as Super Metroid by way of Contra with a surprisingly heavy, sci-fi story, Axiom Verge has been living, rent-free, in my brain since its release. It’s not perfect, and the best version is, surprisingly, on Wii U, but if you’ve managed to avoid playing Axiom Verge over the last half decade, you should correct that mistake. Since the sequel was announced in an Indie World Showcase from December 2019, my frothing anticipation has only increased. And now it’s here, and I’ve played it, and it’s wonderful.

10. Axiom Verge 2 - The Elite Institute
Aug 18, 2021 · Despite my gripes, Axiom Verge 2 is not a bad game, but rather a disappointingly mediocre one. It starts out well, with the great visuals and ...
The storytelling itself is relatively minimal, with an initial setup and then little more until the endgame where things start to get a bit more heavy handed. There’s lore to find along the way, along with the rare NPC and computer terminal, but they do little to add to the overall worldbuilding. Overall, the tale ends up being quite disappointing . mainly due to the aloof protagonist, who comes across as quite unlikeable for the majority of the story. She barely seems to care about the search for her daughter nor anything else around her, which in turn made me not give a damn about her struggle to find a way back. Whilst there is a redemption arc for her character as the story progresses, it comes much too late for you it to matter.
