Critic Reviews for Aggelos 2
Aggelos 2 is a great sequel to a solid game. It suffers from backtracking and not quite upgrading the experience in the presentation department, but the updates and enemy variety kept me coming back.
Aggelos 2 is a great homage to the Wonderboy series and adds a new way to explore an open side-scrolling platformer by adding verticality and different realms to explore. There are some nitpicks that come with that kind of scope, but overall it is a solid experience.
Aggelos 2 builds on its predecessor with a larger map, dual forms, and two interconnected worlds. The appealing retro visuals and rewarding movement upgrades make for an enjoyable adventure, but an unintuitive map and missing quality-of-life features make navigation more frustrating than it should be.
As a big step up from the original, I adored my time with Aggelos 2 and if you enjoy classics like Wonder Boy, I'm sure you'll love it, too. 👼
Aggelos 2 feels like a Metroidvania I’d have played over and over again on my Game Boy Advance, with some great abilities and combat.
The game delivers two large, parallel, and interconnected worlds, full of challenges, secrets, and passages that spark that constant curiosity to explore "just one more corner." And best of all, this exploration always rewards the player, whether with gems, upgrades, or shortcuts that make all the difference on the journey.

There’s something to be said for new-school games that somehow capture the essence of the old-school while still feeling contemporary in the right areas
