God Eater 2: Rage Burst is worth checking out for fans of the first game, as it essentially offers more of that game with just enough to shake things up a little. Every pro and con found in the first game can more or less be applied to this one, meaning that there's nothing here to convert newcomers. Still, the game provides a good time for those looking for epic battles and not too much more.
Still, even with the horrid framerate, I couldn’t help but press on. Fighting a growing roster of more powerful beasts as I tested my skills against any Aragami that crossed my path is difficult to resist.
God Eater 2 Rage Burst is a great introduction to the world of hunting games by delivering a simplified experience for beginners to learn from.
God Eater 2: Rage Burst is simply a great game, and it’s a shame that it’s taken this long for it to make it to the West. As a PS4 release, its simplistic graphics are unlikely to wow anybody, but the fast-paced combat, enjoyable characters and compelling crafting make for an experience you’ll want to come back to time and time again.
God Eater 2: Rage Burst provides hours upon hours of monster slaying fun, but only if you have the patience to wrap your head around its overwrought progression systems. Once you've broken through the initial slog and you're confident in your God eating abilities, you'll find an addictive action RPG that's enjoyable as both a snack and as a three-course meal.
It goes without saying that God Eater 2: Rage Burst is very similar to the original God Eater 2 game. I mean, it’s the definitive version of it after all.
Though it presents a valuable entry into a genre Monster Hunter inhabits, Rage Burst doesn't do enough to differentiate itself from its prequel.
God Eater 2: Rage Burst arrives belatedly in the west market. Despite the age, the title is still enjoyable and fun, thnaks to a huge offer in terms of missions and game modes.

A good hunting game, deserving of being put up there with Monster Hunter. Too Bad it seems to shy away from the seriousness of its own dark setting by putting on the front unrealistic and unlikeable characters.

The PC port of the God Eater 2: Rage Burst is not too attractive in the graphics department, but delivers in the gameplay.
Whenever a bullet is fired, the whole world seems to burst. It feels like someone just shot in your screen. This makes the game much of addiction.
Whatever the case, though, God Eater 2: Rage Burst inadvertently feels less like a sequel to God Eater Resurrection than a very substantial expansion, becoming a refinement of what came "before" than a genuine step forward. While it's impossible to deny the mechanical improvements in the game, many players' enjoyment of it will largely hinge on how much more God Eater they wanted to play, or if this is the only one available to them.
Das Bundle aus God Eater Rage Burst 2 und Resurrection bietet zwar einiges an Spielzeit für Monster-Jäger, aber wird wohl nur Hardcore Fans überzeugen können. Die technische Überarbeitung der originalen Versionen sind absolut gelungen, aber die Titel kämpfen immer noch mit denselben Schwächen und vor allem Rage Burst 2 liefert zu wenig neues um sich vom Vorgänger genug abzuheben. Wer kein Problem damit hat, hunderte Stunden simple Monster-Aufträge zu erfüllen, wird mit den beiden Titeln auf jeden Fall glücklich.

When I began to play God Eater 2: Rage Burst, I was ready to roll my eyes and dismiss the game as a boring, watered-down Monster Hunter clone. However, the more time I spent with it, the more it began to grow on me. The characters were flat but not cringe-inducing. The combat was repetitive but showed nuance as I dug more into Blood Arts. The graphics were passable, if not wholly unpleasant. God Eater 2: Rage Burst is comfort food with a controller, bland but filling. It may not be the best Thanksgiving, but I can see why some kids call it their favorite holiday.
God Eater 2 Rage Burst is full of action, adventure, and lots of beasts to slay in the best way possible.
Overall the game is okay but nothing really sets it apart from other games like it. If you are a fan of the series you might want to pick it up, if not you may just want to avoid this one.
A tremendously well optimised PC port of one of the better Japanese action RPG franchises out there, God Eater 2 Rage Burst gives a great account of itself on PC to the point that you nearly forget that Monster Hunter even existed.
