River City Girls 2

But Why ThoJason Flatt

80/10

River City Girls 2 is a solid beat ’em up on account of both its aesthetic and its gameplay. While it’s hampered by some elements of its combat not being as clear or precise as I’d hoped, the overall atmosphere and experience of playing the game are quite fun.

River City Girls 2 is the dictionary definition of a great sequel. That is to say, it takes pretty much everything that worked in the original and builds on

Back in 2019, I was bombarded by the boundless praise of River City Girls. Back then, I knew nothing about the franchise, but the hype surrounding me was too much to dismiss. Hell, it’s the very reason I jumped on LimitedrunGames website to pre-order the physical edition – I took a wild leap of faith in an unknown commodity. As minutes became hours, hours became days, and days became months, it finally came. I actually completely forgot it was even coming since it just took forever to arr...

It's been a few years yet WayForward's delightful spin-off is back thanks to River City Girls 2 and it's a fittingly fun-filled sequel.

So, to use some old video game magazine review lingo, River City Girls fans rejoice! If you liked River City Girls, you’ll probably like River City Girls 2. It’s mostly the same thing, just way more of it. The new characters are fun, the city is much larger, there are way more quests, and the story has higher stakes. The minigames are a great new addition, boss fights are tough but fun, and oh man, that soundtrack.

River City is in danger once again, as the Sabu family is back. Sanwakai patriarch Sabu and his son Ken are here to back up Sabuko and crush the town that the River City Girls just liberated. Kyoko, Misako, Kunio, and Riki will need some help if they want to kick the gangsters out for good. PC version reviewed.

It’s a little disappointing, and really quite surprising, that River City Girls 2 shows very little impetus to improve on its promising predecessor. The girls have still definitely ‘got it,’ and still make this colourful and characterful journey worth it through some rough patches, but there’s a little too much reliance on the assets of the original to make it feel worth the rather steep asking price. The original game made a fan of me, while the sequel just about manages to sustain my loyalty, though that will definitely be affected by how WayForward deal with its woeful frame rate issue in t...

Kyoko and Misako are back and are still as questionable as ever! But is this second outing worth the trip back to River City?

A much more modern and enjoyable beat 'em up than its predecessor, River City Girls 2 does almost everything right. Despite that, its performance issues get in the way of the fun.
