Mortal Shell II | Fully Ramblomatic

Of note: They have added a way to refund your Shell upgrades in the newest patch! Now, you're basically free to try out any build you want without resource anxiety.

"All those brightly colored happy soulslikes." Always good to see Another Crab's Treasure getting a shout out lol

Petition to call the various different areas of the map the "Mether Regions."

The difference between Mortal Shell 1 and Mortal Shell 2 sounds like the difference between Knight and day.

Getting classier over the years. Didn't even mention the final boss' grab attack that literally crushes you with his massive balls.

I know he said "E-Penis" but it sounded like "Eepy-ness" and I thought Yahtzee had suddenly gone full uwu.

Just for the record "ova" is plural of "ovum", which does indeed literally mean egg. E: Since some people are kinda thick in the head, let me clarify that this informational post was written to the benefit of the peanut gallery, not for the professional writer.

5:32 I swear that boss came through my till at work the other day.

one of the rare, very rare cases , very very very rare cases , where a sequel is like a whole different game in every single aspect, yes, true , it still has some dna from the first game, and yes, you can easily see it is a mortal shell game, but the gameplay is just so insanely better, this is honestly how sequels should be, and these days, it is a rare thing to find.

What I love the most about hearing people talk about Mortal Shell 2 is how everyone picked their own way to play. Like A lot of people picked Tael (the thief) Proxima (caked up terminator), and Yahtzee plaeyed as Erdigan the shoulder tackle. Me? I played as Gragu the hobo who eats hearts. All legitimate playstyles

Being able to refund weapon upgrade items does alleviate the problem of getting too invested into one build to try anything else, but it begs the question of why there's a weapon upgrade system in the first place. If you're just going to shuffle the same upgrade items between a handful of weapons, it'd arguably make more sense to use those items to upgrade the character so all of those weapons get the upgrade and there's no need to switch. Requiring you to refund and reallocate them only really makes sense as a loose approximation of the traditional Monster Hunter thing of not letting you change weapons mid-hunt, in that you'll have to go back to wherever the refund tool is if you want to switch to a different weapon without it sucking.

But the question remains, is there The Knight?

I shed a single tear everytime Yathzee likes a game it's like a rare wild cactus blooming in the light of the full moon, while the coyotes are pissing in your boots.

i like the idea of adapting everyday annoyances into distorted figures for a boss fight

4:34 They fixed the glimpses concern in the first patch! Very nice.

0:52 So, are we not going to talk about Yahtz's Dead by Daylight pin-up calendar?

"Why do you have thirteen letters?" Maybe 'invent' was on the board, and they added the 'iveness'.

Wow, I think he liked it!

You forgot to mention that Proxima is the only shell that can pet the dog Louis. He growls at anyone else that tries.

Top 5 of 2026 contender judging by the review.
