Mortal Shell II Reviews
Mortal Shell II is my favorite Soulslike since Elden Ring, and considering the titles that have released since then, it’s my highest recommendation that I can make. Cold Symmetry knew the assignment, and absolutely nailed it.
Mortal Shell II is a fun game that managed to satisfy my lifelong craving for quality soulslikes. The game also builds upon the solid foundations of its predecessor, albeit simplifying certain aspects, and is certainly worth checking out.

From art direction to the way it plays, to the world around you and how you can approach it, Mortal Shell 2 is a delight. For so many different features and mechanics to work in almost perfect harmony while also ensuring it's not overwhelming to the player is genuinely impressive, and all of it is tied up in a pretty-looking bow to boot. You won't regret trying out Mortal Shell 2, and sorry in advance if you lose days of your life to my recommendation.
While Mortal Shell 2 may not be a game that pushes the boundaries of the genre, it’s a sequel that manages to build on the first game and is especially enjoyable for its overall action. It’s not flawless due to its shortcomings and repetitive structure, but the improvements to the combat system and the Shell mechanics make it worth playing.

Mortal Shell II is the best Soulslike of the year! Mortal Shell II is exactly the kind of sequel you’d hope for from an ambitious Soulslike. Cold Symmetry didn’t just expand the world and add new enemies. Instead, they took the foundation of the first game, analyzed it, and made fundamental improvements in many areas.
