Reception

Zeno Clash II was met with mixed reviews, with the PC version receiving a rating of 61/100 on reviews aggregator Metacritic.[4] The most favourable rating by nowgamer[5] says the game bests its predecessor, praising the "sumptuous looking and stylish" world and "excellent" combat system but noting that Zeno Clash II may "obviously not be for everyone, and its low budget does show through." Other critics praise the artwork and characters but cite various flaws and most seem to agree that the game fell behind in comparison to the first game. Destructoid said "Zeno Clash II might be bigger than its predecessor, but it fails to be truly better."[6]
