Launch Window“My Hero One's Justice 2 is a great brawler. It carries on the fine work put in on the first game, wraps the more recent story beats into a playable form, and buffs the already excellent visuals up to a new Shonen shine. It's not a great jumping on point for newcomers, at least story-wise, but it remains a fun, approachable fighter based on one of the best anime shows of recent years.”

Launch Window“My Hero One's Justice 2 on the Nintendo Switch is bursting with content that doesn't seem to end and with its simple combat system and addictive game modes, it will be a delight for the fans of the My Hero Academia series. Strangely enough, its less exciting component is the campaign mode, as the game's plot doesn't do a great favour to the moment of the series it's based on, and some decisions are difficult to understand. Overall, this is a game mostly aimed at big fans of the series and less so at newcomers.”

Launch Window“U.A. High School’s heroes and their villainous rivals return for another round in My Hero Justice 2, complete with a bigger cast that builds on the fun combat of the first game. Unfortunately, the story mode remains bare-bones, which represents a big missed opportunity for a game whose roots lie in storytelling. It’s still a fun anime fighter that’s easy to pick up and enjoy. But it also could have been so much better.”

Launch Window“If you're a fan of the anime, you're going to enjoy this and you might even come to enjoy the flawed fighting mechanics. For anybody else, My Hero One's Justice 2 is just another aggressively mediocre anime fighter, the latest in a long line of them.”

Launch Window“My Hero's One Justice 2 doesn't fix some of the flaws the first game had, and instead, tries to add more content, but with the same mistakes.”

Launch Window“My Hero One's Justice 2 continues the franchise's trend of bizarre naming and sub-par story modes, but greatly improves on other aspects of the original.”

Launch Window“My Hero One's Justice 2 is a fun fighter with added depth from the huge single player, loads of improvements form its predecessor. The huge roster alone is enough here to justify this sequel and with DLC on the way there's loads more value for players. Although I enjoyed all the single players campaigns, there are a few little tweaks that can make this into a competitive fighter.”

Launch Window“My Hero One's Justice does so much right with a fun combat system and some lovely anime-style visuals but lets the whole experience down by a lackluster story mode, a lack of performance polish, and some serious repetition in the single-player content. Having said that though, these games keep improving, so if we're lucky, we'll be impressed by My Hero One's Justice 3.”

Launch Window“Ultimately, though, what stings the most about seeing My Hero One's Justice 2 is how much hasn't changed since the first game. It's still very much a reasonably well-made and pretty anime arena fighter, but it's nothing more than that. Even the considerably messier One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows at least had the ambition to try to capture the source material's spirit through its main single-player mode. My Hero Academia fans looking for exactly that will be satisfied, but once again it seems Bandai Namco have opted to coast rather than adopt U.A.'s "Plus Ultra" philosophy.”

Launch Window“My Hero One's Justice 2 is an incredibly fun and over the top anime fighting game, with a ton of modes to play. Although there's not been a massive amount of new content added since it's predecessor, the combat is good enough to keep you coming back for more”

Launch Window“My Hero One's Justice improves the predecessor's formula too shyly, making it especially suitable for fans of My Hero Academy. It can be fun, but not if you are looking for an excellent quality defect-free fighting game.”
