Late Review“You ever had those annoying neighbours, up past 1 AM blaring their music with all their friends round? Partying… drinking… shouting and laughing, even sometimes arguing? If you answered yes for every single one of those, then you must be exactly like the Party Hard Killer. Yes, Party Hard 2 is a strategy action adventure where you play as a serial killer who hates the plague of rats that have no respect for other people and continue to drink and party… what could go wrong, right?”

Late Review“I found Party Hard 2 lacking in anything to keep me interested. There are only so many times and so many ways you can kill people to end a party. The whole idea and concept of the game just felt generic and contrived in an attempt to be edgy. I find it very hard to recommend. Party Hard 2 is anything but a party.”

Late Review“Party Hard 2 is a grower, not a shower. You have to ease into it and appreciate your surroundings to produce some truly inspired executions. If skulking and lurking is your jam, then Party Hard 2 is the game for any budding clandestine manslayer.”

Late Review“Party Hard 2 riffs off the Hitman formula, mixing it with a pixel art style and humorous flourishes wherever you look. It can be frustrating when you're caught and sent back to the start of a level, but so long as you don't find the premise too extreme, there's enough here to scratch your stealth action itch.”

Late Review“Party Hard 2 is an engaging and great looking game. The transition from 2D to 2.5D has worked really well for this title and now there are a lot more environmental elements that play important roles in making this game better than its predecessor. Though, there are some issues that make the gamer enjoy it a little less, but the overall result deserves a try.”

Late Review“When the original Party Hard hit it was a shock to the system, an odd mix of puzzle game, crowd simulator, and virtual serial killer experience...”

Launch Window“An evident leap forward from the already notable first chapter. Not every new feature works out well, and the boss fights are here to prove it, but Pinokl's game stands as an interesting and funny little stealth game.”

Launch Window“Party Hard 2 is a worthy continuation, take the good things from the first game and give it a twist. Some problems in its playability and rhythm can make us lose our cool sometime. The OST is wonderful and we will enjoy its electronic themes very much. If we are having a bad day and want to discharge adrenaline, this game is the best option.”
