Critic Reviews for The Caligula Effect 2
The Caligula Effect 2 has not too much to offer apart from a good combat system and some insteresting artistic vibes. The game is a very classic JRPG technically wise far from the modern standards, which suffers from a quite frayed and monotonous rhythm.

Although the visuals may not be much to look at, the combat and story are the soul of Caligula Effect 2 that holds it all together.
Caligula Effect 2 tries to mix up the RPG formula with combat previews and expanded social elements. However, much of those ideas get buried under their over complicated presentation and execution. There is something new here that RPG fans may be curious about, but not many others will take a chance on it.
The Caligula Effect 2 is the kind of experience that works on paper, with a good basic idea and potentially intriguing protagonists. The game, however, is a hymn to banality and boredom without any redeeming traits. Fans (?) of the first game, with which it shares a weak narrative link, might find this game interesting. Everyone else should stay away.

The story and music are the best standout points with the amazing attention to character development only matched by the genius sound design. Although The Caligula Effect 2 doesn't really sway from its roots or present many new ideas within the genre, if you're a fan of JRPGs, it's a solid title.
The Caligula Effect 2 has loads of cool ideas, but it's undeniably rough around the edges.
Compared to the PlayStation 4 version that landed in stores only two years ago, the port does not have any significant additions and both the technical and graphic sectors are almost unchanged. If you already own the previous edition, which these days is offered at much more reasonable prices, there is no valid reason why you should prefer the very lazy port proposed by NIS America.

The Caligula Effect 2 is a dramatic improvement over its predecessor in every single way and punches well above its weight.
