A few improved non tonus skills scattered through the skill trees would be much better.

My agi build used an awful lot of high kick till quite far through the game, and that felt really bad. To me this felt psychologically almost more limiting, especially as there were absolutely 0 non tonus skills in the advanced skill trees. This time you need to run forwards to stand still not every day (which could be fixed quite easily with the stat stick skills) but merely after every single fight. They replaced fan decryed stat decay with the tonus system that functionally is exactly the same. Mechanically it feels like a step back almost. That said the humour was still there, it was a funny game to play.

The ending is trippy as anything, while that succession of cut scenes all in a rush is an interesting story telling technique, I didn't like the way they leaned into the crazy elements of the DLC with the final reveal -although the villain was obvious and deserved to get punched. As a result the game feels slightly tonally discordant and not quite as satisfying as the previous. The world doesn't quite gel completely as it is unsure whether this is trying to parody Cyber Punk or the same 80s action movies the first game did. It feels like it has something to say here, but I didn't quite get it. Punch Club 2 builds interestingly on the world of Punch Club 1, literally layering the story on the bones of the first city in the manner of Pentiment. I've sunk 30 hours in it super fast and got all the achievements in just one run (well technically 2 as I needed to start a second game for five minutes to get the candy achievement that had bugged). Punch Club 2 comes out and is an instant purchase. I thought it was a really smart mix of pop culture references and game play loop.
