You can do the traditional stealth game thing of sneaking up behind enemies and eliminating them. Speaking of which, you can dispose of enemies is some clever ways. If you’re hanging off a ledge and there’s an enemy right above you, for example, you can stick your blade in that jerk and pull him over the edge. You’ve got double-jumps, you can climb along walls, and you can perform all manner of exciting executions on foes. You’ll still be sneaking around and surprise-attacking fools just like before, but in Aragami 2, you can move around the map much more freely. For the most part, this aspect of the game is pretty similar, but you now have more actions and more control over your character than you did previously. Having just played the original Aragami recently, I was expecting everything to carry over, so I was a bit surprised when even the controls had been slightly revamped. Well, if the first Aragami plays like a pseudo old school classic, then Aragami 2 feels like a next-gen successor.Įverything is much more developed this time around, from the leveling system to the abilities to the stage designs. That’s not to say the game feels dated, but rather it’s fun and polished yet still mildly scrappy. In fact, the first Aragami is the kind of game that could’ve entered “greatest hits” territory on PlayStation 2 (even though it was released in 2016). And though it doesn’t necessarily break new ground for the stealth genre, it’s still an impressive effort and a great adventure.īefore we dive into Aragami 2, I want to take some time to talk about the first game, which was a solid stealth offering clearly inspired by the Tenchu series. This is a wonderfully realized sequel to what was a solid game to begin with. Aragami 2 is developer Lince Works’ second foray into this particular stealth-action universe, and it does an awesome job of taking what worked in the original and enhancing pretty much everything about it. It’s easy to appreciate a sequel that improves on every aspect of its predecessor.
