The Titans were also tweaked in terms of their AI and it was noticeable that they were more responsive to your presence. The game ran a little more stable but the patch was more to make sure online was up and running properly. The online was no longer broken which was great to see but differences within the campaign were barely noticeable. ![]() It was only until the 14th of March when an update was released did we get the final version of the game which promised to fix the bugs within the online play and add a bit more polish within the campaign mode itself. I had the benefit of having the game for around ten days before release and the developer let us know that the version we were playing was a BETA version. For the most part, the Switch version does a decent job running 1080p in docked and 720p handheld but it’s by no means perfect. ![]() If portability is key to you and you don’t own the other systems then this is what we have. I am not one to compare to other systems because as I have said many times you can’t compare a portable device to one which is tethered to a TV but people will make the comparison and I can’t really do anything other than focus on the Switch version and the qualities this version brings. I will get this out the way and say that the graphical fidelity on the Switch is functional but it’s not exactly pretty. The characters all felt really unique and some had great personalities that you will remember fondly when the credits finally roll. Of course, you have the subtitles to confirm all of this but I can’t emphasise enough the quality of the voice acting itself. Some may be turned off by this but I think the voice acting is done superbly well even though I didn’t understand what was being said, I got a sense from the way they were saying it and the tone in their voices that things were drastic. The characters are all voice acted even though they speak in Japanese and it’s subtitled. Through some of the cut scenes, the music reminded me a lot of Game of Thrones such is the dramatic feel to it. ![]() Cutting through a Titan and hearing your sword make contact is grossly satisfying in ways you cannot imagine. It’s dramatic in every sense, a soundtrack that invites you to take on the Titans in fierce battles, your omni directional-mobility gear (ODM) making a fantastic sound as you traverse the towns or through the trees like Spiderman. The audio in Attack on Titan 2 is a thing of beauty. Conversations with characters even have you able to choose your responses and while it doesn’t change the story much, I enjoyed that the options were there. The fight against the Titans feels very real and I just could not wait to get in there and help in battle. You end up caring so much about them and because of this you can’t help but want to play more of the game until finally completing it. Not only that but you can explore all 37 characters story arches which if you are a big fan of the anime series this is a real win. I think the character development, pacing and the way you can discover side stories by exploring the towns adds to how much you end up caring about them. The story, although all in Japanese and subtitled, felt very dramatic and sometimes emotional and over the 20+ hour campaign I became very heavily invested in the story. ![]()
