Release Date: January 30, 2020
Refreshed second part of the strategy and music game series. Developers didn't introduce any new features to the game, but improved the graphics, which work in the native 1080p and dynamic 4K on PlayStation 4 Pro.
Patapon 2 Remastered, available for PS4, is a remastered version of Patapon 2, which was released in 2008 on PSP. Apart from changes in the graphics (native 1080p and dynamic 4K on PlayStation 4 Pro), it does not offer any major novelties compared to the original.
The second part of Patapons' adventures continues the plot of the previous title, in which Patapons decided to look for a new home. Unfortunately, after the sea monster's attack, the cheerful team landed on an unknown land, ruled by the Kampon tribe. Again, the heroes must fight for survival.
Our task is to help them - we must lead brave beings to battle. We do this by beating an appropriate rhythm, using buttons on the gamepad. In Patapon 2 Remastered, the authors introduced an additional easy level of difficulty and some other simplifications. The game is not too difficult, especially since death is only temporary and in case of failure, our main character is reborn after some time.
In addition, the game introduces several new units - the flying Toripon, the devastating Robopon and Mahopon which uses magic. An evolutionary tree has also been introduced - it allows players to unlock individual types of units. We can obtain a total of almost 50 rare specimens of Patapons, about 500 items and weaponry elements useful during combat in more than 80 missions.
The authors have also created a few new opponents, which, like in the first part, will be defeated by making special combinations of attacks. In many cases, we also take part in rhythmic duels of various kinds. Thanks to a large number of new elements, the game provides about 20 hours of addictive fun.

Game Ratings for Patapon 2 Remastered Video Game.
Gaming Nexus: 5.5 / 10 by Eric Hauter
Patapon 2 Remastered fails to compensate for the fact that the Sony PSP was a very different device from the PlayStation 4, and in the end, controller latency sinks this classic game adaptation. If the game had compensated for the particulars of its new home, it may have been immensely enjoyable – the core of a great game is intact. But as it stands, Patapon 2 is frustrating and unfun.
Game Revolution: 3 / 5 by Alex Santa Maria
For the sole purpose of preserving this PlayStation classic, this remaster succeeds.
Twinfinite: 3.5 / 5 by Khayl Adam
Patapon 2 Remastered brings a classic PlayStation title to modern platforms, and its the best possible version of the game.
