  • Aggelos 2 having an unbelievably satisfying ability acquisition progression, on top of the abilities themselves being quite entertaining.
  • Fantastically nostalgic colorful visuals and a matching, wistful soundtrack to really hammer home that 90s vibe in the best ways possible!

  • So Aggelos 2 is just Aggelos 1 with a map. I'll pass...
  • Aggelos 2… I did not like how it was completely focused on tedious combat. Didn’t get much of an exploration or platforming vibe, bounced off early

I honestly cannot remember the last time I had so much fun exploring a metroidvania world like I did in Aggelos 2, which filled me with a sense of wonder that used to be a standard for the classics of old, but has become more and more infrequent in titles of recent years.

Platforming-wise, there’s really not much to say here since, while Aggelos does feature some acrobatic gauntlets, they tend to mainly be on the simpler side of things. ... platforming is definitely not one of the game’s strong suits, especially since your flight ability can take a lot of the bite out of nearly all of it
