Soul Hackers 2
I played a preview of Atlus’ latest Shin Megami Tensei spin-off at Summer Game Fest 2022. While the demo was brief, it certainly made Soul Hackers 2 seem like an approachable half-way point between SMT and Persona. I fought the same demons I’ve been negotiating with for years now, but it oozed style and the colorful cyber-apocalyptic won me over. The landscape was very different back when the original Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers was remastered in 2013, but in a market bursting with new SMT sequels and spin-offs, I think Soul Hackers 2 can carve out its own respectable niche.
