![]() ![]() You have to be this spiderbot thing when you’re in the Breach low-res areas.Įxploration is rewarding, both in terms of eureka moments when a puzzle is solved or an obtuse route is discovered, as well as a new power-up or upgrade is collected. There are even more pacifistic ways of taking down foes too, as you’re able to hack most of them and turn them off, slow them down, or even turn them against each other. In fact, you don’t really have much in the way of ranged weapons like before, and every boss in the game (bar one, I think) can be ignored entirely unless you’re after 100% completion. It’s the gameplay that really shines here, and Axiom Verge 2 eschews the normal combat-filled exploration of the game type with the scales tilted far more in favour of exploring than smacking stuff. I recall the first game had a similar plot complexity and I’m sure recalling that better would shine more light here, but actually, you can mostly ignore it without detriment. The plot is complicated, and references worlds that are linked, different civilisations on at least three of these worlds (one of which is Earth), but it’s interesting if difficult to get your head round. This lets you reach areas which would otherwise be blocked, by sort of skipping round them via a fourth dimension. It does away with the “glitch” mechanics of the original, but replaces them with a sort of subspace, low res, corruption of the main world that you can slip in and out of in a similar way to how the two worlds work in Link to the Past. Which is a sign of a fantastic game in this genre, as far as I’m concerned.Īxiom Verge 2 isn’t really a sequel to the first game, as it’s more of a tangental story that is linked but separate for the most part. It’ll come a no surprise, then, that I pounced on Axiom Verge 2 the second I was able to get it from the eShop, and here I am telling you I’ve completed it.Īnd not just completed, but 100%ed – all items, all the map, everything. Beware of a yellow plant in the way.I do love a good metroidvania, and I’ve played a fair few in the last year or so, and the original Axiom Verge was a great metroidvania. It will be dark, but you can use your lantern. Just go right until you reach the next screen. Don't bother going underwater, there is nothing of value here. Use shockwave one more time and keep moving forward. Then descend and go to the right, near the small waterfall where the Health Node Fragment was. Return to the last shrine one more time and go to the left. You need an ability from another location. On the right side is the path to Annuna Gorge, the last big area in the game, but you can't go there now. There will be a new document, "Plague of Thoughts". Then start climbing the platforms in the middle and turn left. You will encounter some yellow plants along the way. Use shockwave with the cracked block and keep going in that direction. Now you can return to where the last shrine was and go to the right. Pick up Ensi's Bracelet Before Going to the Next Area A dialogue with the Arm Damu will take place. This will give you the ability to have a humanoid form again by simply pressing a button. Keep going in that direction and you will find a new urn containing the Arm "Anuman". Go left, then climb the led on the top-right side of the screen. When you take the portal, you will respawn in a new shrine. After picking it up, you are ready to go to the exit portal and return to the regular Uhrum Valley. On the other side, there will be a small Apocalypse Flask. Start hitting it and you will open a secret passage. ![]() ![]() Deal with them and jump to the platform on the left. If you continue the left path full of roots, you will find some enemies. Go through a tunnel and there will be the exit portal. Keep going left, expecting bees and small creatures. At one point you will need to start climbing platforms, using your hook. You will encounter spiders and small creatures in the way. Keep going to the right and through a couple of tunnels. Beware of spiders coming down from the top, but they are the only threat. ![]()
