Game RantLiam FergusonJul 20258/10Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles 2 isn't trying to reinvent the wheel, but CyberConnect2 has once again proved that it doesn't need to.

TheGamerGeorge FosterJul 20254/5 starsBy having a healthier roster, slightly tweaked combat, and two of the best arcs in the whole series, The Hinokami Chronicles 2 still stands as a worthy sequel, and one that I hope is surpassed even more by the inevitable third game that has a hell of a lot of heavy lifting to do by finishing off the whole series.

NoobFeedWasbir SadatAug 202588/100Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles 2 is more than just a follow-up. It's also an apology letter, a story about forgiveness, and a fan letter all in one. CyberConnect2 has paid attention to what people have said, and it shows. The basic idea hasn't changed much, but every part of Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles 2 has been made better, from exploration to fighting. It feels like a fully realized cartoon fighter.

TheSixthAxisMiguel MoranAug 20257/10Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles 2 is a well-crafted game and a major step up from the prior entry, but it isn't the kind of groundbreaking or unique experience that will get casual fans or non-fans invested in the series.
