Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Infinity Blade 2 is a must own - it is the App Store's killer app. »
« Infinity Blade 2 is bigger, bolder and better than before. It delivers an experience so finely tuned to the abilities of iOS, that it would be hard to replicate perfectly on any other 'current system'… It's the killer app that legitimises iOS as a gaming platform, and in a year where the competition has finally had to sit up and take stock. »
« We put incredibly powerful devices in our pockets and on our laps daily, but rarely do we see games that utterly embrace this like Infinity Blade has. It's a showcase piece; a technically and visually gifted game that consistently delivers eye-popping stuff. »
« That ChAIR was able to create such a wonderful sequel in a year is a true testament to the talented people working at the studio. With this in mind, Infinity Blade 2 is one of the year's most thrilling video games, a gorgeous and feature packed adventure that demands your attention. In terms if iOS killer apps, it stands alone. »
« In just about every way, Infinity Blade 2 builds on the rock-solid foundation of the original game, and delivers an experience that's as tense, deep, gorgeous, and enjoyable as anything you'll find on the platform. »
« Infinity Blade II is everything the original wanted to be and a little bit more; it's easy to get caught up in its beautiful visuals, but at its heart beats a challenging and addictive Action RPG just waiting to be conquered. »
« Infinity Blade II is everything an iOS game should be. It's beautiful, it's addicting, and it's quite possibly the most fun you can have playing an iOS game. »
« So Infinity Blade II isn't exactly a major overhaul of the original game, but it doesn't need to be. The additional elements and added strategy improve an already impressive title and yet again, those amazing vistas and detailed enemies manage to impress. »

« Sem duvidas um jogo que inovou pro seu tempo em requisito mobile. Ele provavelmente n rodaria no PC de mta gente hj em dia... fez parte da minha adolecencia, tem um toque mto bom de soulslike »
« Even though this game is no longer playable, it will be remembered. The pure beauty of this game on an iphone is amazing. Radriar, come fight me you coward! I will be waiting. »
« In my opinion it's the best game on iOS. First it seems to be an easy game, which repeats over and over again but that's my true. I spent a lot of hours in this game, exploring new levels and secrets. Graphics is beautiful, fighting system is amazing and the plot is interesting. I also think that's better than first and third Infinity Blade. »
« One of the greatest games on tablets. 11/10................................................................................................................. »
« (this is a review from my other account) Infinity Blade II, In my opinion, is the greatest IOS game on the market right now. Everything from the first game was improved in this game which are the longer story, the greatly improved graphics, the enemy variety, more bosses, and the slightly expanded fighting mechanic. Infinity Blade II is even better than its predecessor and is my favorite mobile game of all time. 10/10 (Masterpiece) »
