NEO: The World Ends with You Reviews
NEO: The World Ends with You is a sequel worth waiting for. It brings together many of the best concepts from the DS original but in a more approachable and accessible experience. It may lack the lightning-in-a-bottle genius of its predecessor, but the 40+ hours I spent exploring Shibuya showed me this world doesn’t have to be complicated to be worthwhile.
Neo: The World Ends With You faithfully mirrors its predecessor, offering entertaining combat, endearing characters, and a fabulous world to explore
Neo: The World Ends With You is a successful sequel that will make both fans and new players happy after 14 years of waiting.

It has lost the original edge of the first chapter and it's not a technical powerhouse, but Neo The World ends with you is nonetheless a brilliant action rpg with one of the best soundtracks to grace the medium in a long time.

NEO: The World Ends With You was a long time coming but was a very worthwhile addition to expand on the existing world and characters created in the first game. Fans of the series will get a real kick out of the story, it’s characters and it’s callbacks, but I’m certain it’s style, presentation and music will bring in many new fans to experience their first Reaper’s Game too. I’m hoping it’s not another 14 years before we get to witness more from this series, but hey, even if this is all we get from TWEWY, I can end this experience very satisfied.
Neo: The World Ends with You presented a fun and beautiful fighting system and a fascinating three-dimensional world that was a very beautiful addition to the game, unlike the first part, its biggest drawback was its many dialogues that may lose you focus and repeating tasks, but this did not prevent me from enjoying With it, it gave me a very nice experience as a JRPG fan, it was a rather nice experience

Despite some gameplay issues and lack of innovation compared to the title that preceded it , NEO: The World Ends with You it has fun and accessible battles, an excellent and diverse soundtrack, a plot full of character, an inviting ambiance for character development and, above all, a very coherent overall design around some of Shibuya's popular culture. As such, it's an easy recommendation for anyone who liked its predecessor or who enjoys more dynamic action JRPGs.

NEO: The World Ends With You stands on its own merits among the great releases of this 2021, succeeding in the challenge of being the sequel to a cult work.its freshness, variety, rhythm and immediacy, in conjunction with its intriguing story and surprisingly good script, make it an almost safe bet, although perhaps the apparent simplicity of the redesigned combat system may cause division among fans of the first installment.

An excellent continuation of the cult game from a dozen years ago. An example of an almost perfect sequel that not only replicats what's good from its predecessor, but creatively develops its own ideas. As someone wants to play on PS4 jRPG-a other than known so far it has no better choice.

NEO: The World Ends With You is an excellent RPG that satisfies fans wanting more, or newcomers who want a unique experience from their games. However, there are some annoying points where it could worsen your experience.
After 14 years, the best soundtrack on the Nintendo DS has been met with its sequel – now the best soundtrack on the Nintendo Switch. Delightful deja vu, this sequel revives everything that works and delivers it all over again with vibrant new life. Just excuse the disappointing new cast and technical hiccups for one of the year’s most stylish surprises.
The soundtrack is monotonous, the menus are a slog, and it often becomes too easy to button-mash to victory. But otherwise, NEO: The World Ends with You is a really cleverly designed game that packs a terrific amount of content into a small game world, and that even stays true continuing into the postgame. An engaging narrative that successfully expands upon the world of the original brings the entire experience together, and the final result is another inimitably unique action RPG from Square Enix.
A great sequel for a very special action RPG. NEO: The Worlds Ends With You is exactly the kind of new game that the fans wanted.

All in all, NEO: The World Ends with You manages to escape the pitfall of being a period piece by taking the Heathers approach to youth culture and focusing more on capturing the feeling of youth than trying to accurately portray the ever-shifting trends. It has a fun cast, an interesting story, and a much more straightforward battle system with room to spend ages gathering collectibles and getting your pin load-out just right. Unfortunately, its cast is generally more well-adjusted than the original game’s traumatized teenagers, meaning that this game doesn’t hit quite as hard as the original The World Ends with You.
NEO: The World Ends With You retains the freshness, uniqueness and stylish nature of the original game, but at the same time reinvents itself without forgetting the complexity and tons of content usually found in the JRPG genre. We're once again before a true gem.

Decent story, phenomenal music, and great gameplay make up for a slow middle segment.
