Critic Reviews for Heave Ho 2
Heave Ho 2, however, has left me with a very different feeling. After seeing more of the ideas the developers of this series have for this concept, now I’m hungry for more.
There's a lot of fun to be had in Heave Ho 2, whether you're playing with one friend or in a group of four, together or online. Le Cartel has taken the swinging puzzle platforming of the original and built so many great new settings and inventive ideas around it. One or two more awkward elements can grate, but then you've got that perfect chancer move to fling yourself with perfect precision from start to end and the roar of surprised delight. A great sequel.
Silly, funny and brilliant, this is a must-play multiplayer experience that never fails to raise a smile.
Heave Ho 2 provided new and entertaining premises for us to play with the mechanics, sabotage each other, and broke us into laughter so hard we could barely breathe. Heave Ho 2 takes the perfect formula from the first game, and adds onto it. Sometimes you don't need to mess with perfection.
Whether you're in it for its challenging co-op campaign or exciting party match-ups, there's a ton of top-notch fun to be had in Heave Ho 2. 💪
Heave Ho 2 is a smart, creative multiplayer party experience that rewards creativity and patience. It won’t grab everyone immediately, but if you enjoy the party-game genre and are interested in a new approach that relies heavily on those playing with you, there’s something genuinely compelling here.
Heave Ho 2 is a wonderfully silly multiplayer game, with plenty laugh out loud moments guaranteed while swinging around with your buds.
Heave Ho 2 delivers exactly what you'd expect from a couch co-op game: chaotic fun and plenty of laughs with friends. The controls take a little time to get used to and continue to provide a satisfying challenge throughout the game. Rather than being a drawback, we think this is an essential part of what makes the game so enjoyable. The different worlds each introduce their own gameplay focus, offering enough variety to keep things fresh from start to finish. We also really liked the visuals, and the soundtrack in particular fits the game's lighthearted style perfectly. The addition of online multiplayer for the first time makes Heave Ho 2 much more accessible than its predecessor. Minor issues, such as the almost unavoidable lifebuoy mechanic triggered by the hard-to-avoid cat, only slightly detract from the overall experience. At a price of just €9.99, there's little reason not to pick it up if you have a group of friends to play with.
