La musique du genre électro est bien sympathique et les graphismes aussi… quoique… les personnages sont tous en pixel lard et c’est vraiment affreux, affreux, hyper affreux et très typique des étrons indés, il faut le rappeler, hélas ! Pour le reste, si l’idée de massacrer des **** est bien séduisante, la mise en oeuvre est complètement à la masse et le jeu entier est tout à fait injouable… sauf à recommencer ad nauseam et apprendre par coeur, mécaniquement comme un robot les opportunités de meurtres et/ou de destruction… et encore ! On s’ennuie de toute façon, puis on est rapidement soûlé par ce « rogue-lite » à la noix, ni vraiment furtif, ni vraiment bourrin mais 100% raté et chiant comme la pluie, pas intuitif ni ergonomique, et décidément trop mal fait et mal conçu.

I really was into the first opus. I loved its story, its gameplay, its arcade die-and-retry package and the light adrenaline feeling whan you manage to master the game and combo-kill many characters without being caught.Unfortunately some of the flaws of the first game did not change from an inch in this one, as the aiming system. In 'Party Hard 2' you can throw objects but without any decent aiming system you often miss your shot and end up wasting a precious move. If the knife aiming was a bit improved, you still can miss incomprehensible **** story was also longer and more detailed but it somehow makes the lore uselessly more complicated. The fact that we don't know a thing about our character in the first game was way better, because we can feel the way he murders uncontrollably, without any real reason. Here we meet many other useless protagonists. In parallel of the scenario, we get some (mini-)boss battles. If the idea is terrific, it's practically bad : bosses have quick and unpredictable patterns, some kill in one-shot, others never really kill but just knock you out. Plus I've never seen such a miserable ending (no spoil). The final boss is overly long, boring, buggy and ends up by giving more confusion to the whole plot.There are still many inconsistencies : some characters never call the police even if you kill under their very eyes while others will seee through walls to turn you in. I had to restart countless games because of that, so it is very frustrating. Add this to the fact that some characters are animated, making impossible to guess the direction they are looking at, and you'll never know the conequences of a simple **** I'm not even speaking about the chase and run's with the police! It is simple: : you can never win. Police runs way faster than you and has a nasty path-finding leading straight to you, systematically. No place to hide, nowhere to run. If the police is called directly on you : you are lost, and have to reload the **** map are huge compared to your standard speed. You spend 3/4 of your gameplay getting closer to your targets and preparing your shots. Add this to the fact that each level has way too many targets to kill in labyrinthine maps and you'll surely get bored, just as me. The characters you unlock after beating the game are way less fun than those you can play in 'Party Hard 1'. If the devs added many objects, hidden rooms, special targets and obectives, it only contributes to make this tutorial-less game more confused and drafty. If only they explained what does what to who it would have been **** conclusion, 'Party Hard 2' is fun thanks to the workshop levels, or when you are very lucky. Some Steam achivements are broken and I had to repeat the missions in order to unlock them grrrrrr. I truly hesitated to buy the bundle with the DLC's. God saved me from it. Some jokes here and there are very funny though.

I really had good time while trying to beat every level of the game. It definitely worth your time.
