Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« A-Men 2 is mind-boggling difficult puzzle game, which will challenge the player over and over. Every move has its consequences and that makes this title quite challenging. However, it relies too much on trial and error, so gamers who’re not into that, will not find this game much fun. »
« If you decide to give A-Men 2 a try, make sure you have plenty of patience. This is a VERY difficult game and you will probably be pulling out your hair as soon as you start playing. »
« A-Men 2 is enjoyable in moderation, but the trial and error gameplay soon makes for a rather frustrating experience. »
« If you're desperate for something really, really hard, I guess give it a shot, but don't expect it to be much more than a forgettable time-waster that you play between other, more distinctive games. »
« There is a satisfaction to be found in A-Men 2’s tense tactical puzzles, but the relentless difficulty will destroy your will to replay. This is a game designed for masochists, and while there will be a specific demographic that will undoubtedly enjoy the stiff challenge, mere mortals will just not have the stomach for it. »
« A-Men 2 is a game that ultimately fails to follow through on its execution. »
