.hack//G.U. vol. 2: REMINISCE - hands-on

There are a lot of ‘seconds’ in vol. 2 Reminisce. Expect a second Root Town, Dol Donna; a second @home guild hall, and a second guild shop, where you can upgrade your bike with better parts and accessories. But the best ‘second’ in Reminisce is Haseo’s second job extension.

Once you acquire it, you’ll be able to switch freely between weapons during battle. From then on, when you target an enemy, your skill trigger will highlight which weapon the enemy is weakest against. Once you get the hang of it, you’ll be stirring up damaging combos with the scytheone second before carving into your opening with a giant chainsaw sword the next. The combat feels much more like the vicious action at the tail of Rebirth’s opening trailer.
