Good
So everything is perfect the games the set up the menus all of it the only one thing that gets me really really to the point of raging quitting deleting the thing and then re-downloading the app the next day is the fact that once you choose an option something bad happens and the other is checkpoint in the game however there are no buttons that say reload last checkpoint and that really really bothers me because then I have to restart even if I’m in the middle of the game and if I want a perfect game which I do sorry for you now I would love to have a reload last check. Maybe it’s because there’s something wrong with the coding or something that you can’t get it to happen like that but I would love to have something like that.Show lessUn union
Community College Hero 2 Glitch
I got the link to buy the community college hero 2 off the App Store but everytime I try to play it on the actual app, it won’t let me saying there’s an update I need but my app is up to date. Tried playing without the update option but it doesn’t load. What do?Megan0204
Now with search bar
The search bar is a nice addition. Currently not as useful since there isn’t much of a selection at the moment, but once more games are available on the app I’m sure it’ll be a much appreciated feature. Will games released before the app be moved to the app as well? I have a few Hosted game titles that I’ve purchased and it would be nice to be able to access them all from the same app.Show lessTheNewNoob

Community College Hero 2
As someone who’s been waiting for this game just about since the first one was released, I’m more than happy to say it exceeded my expectations!!
The first game did a good job of setting the world up and highlighting potential conflicts, and this one followed through perfectly on everything the first promised. Some of the stats get refined, which was a nice touch up since they’re easier to navigate than the first game. The length was great, the choices actually came into play, and while I’ve only done one run so far, I believe the replay value will be pretty high just because of the branching options the story offers at several points. You also really got a chance to flesh out just what kind of hero your MC is, so that was another bonus. On top of that, all the other characters’ personalities play perfectly against everyone else’s, and by the end of the game, I felt even closer to them than I did by the finish of the first.
Overall, probably the best middle installment for a series out of all the CoGs. Looking forwards to seeing how the series is wrapped up!!Show lessgavalt
CCH 2 Review
The omnibus is fine, a bit annoying because of the fact that it exists(because you can’t rate individual games, as far as I know) but it works fine and it’s a good app.
However, this review if of the game Community College Heroes 2: Knowledge is Power, for those interested.
I recommend it if you’ve played the first game, but newcomers to the series should not start with this one.

CCH2 review.
3.5/5 stars
It started off great, and it had an amazing story. It was told really well and some of the scenes were incredibly emotional and some were fun. It was lacking, however, in many other places. There was no transparency between which skills increased(such as in the first game), a lot of choices were false_choices, and some actual “choices” had no real effect.
Often times, during the strategist route, strategic choices were ignored, only being used for the illusion of choice and player agency. Also, unlike the first game, companions were not expanded on. There are many time jumps, not unlike the first game, however in between these time jumps is just way too much exposition and sometimes needless events that don’t develop the characters we love. Despite this, the story felt heavy around Crook, while abandoning others. It was what Crook felt, what he wanted, his revenge. Crook and the MC were the only focuses. The romances could be much improved as well. Despite engaging in a full on relationship with Dirty Girl in the first book, the relationship status is determined by a single choice, rather than affinity development with characters.
This brings me to Stoic. The beloved Stoic. MY beloved Stoic. The dialogue choice that chooses the relationship includes Stoic as someone who the MC is crushing on and this absolutely cancels ALL other previously developed relationships. Not only that, but Stoic's approval may drop seemingly randomly, despite appeasing to her “personality”(double-meaning) or focusing on her(which aids with developing affinity points). I could be wrong, and I will do another play through to try and get Stoic's affinity as high as possible, but with an 89% it seems that Stoic, despite us being led to believe so, is not romance-able. The game even gives the option that would seem like it would romance her, however this seems to not be true in the slightest. Overall, Stoic, in some aspects, was a little bit of a let down, despite having been, and still being, my favourite character of the series. I don’t believe she was handled well, regarding affinity and specifically in the last issue, and could have been handled better.
This game, despite being a few thousand words longer, felt much more restrictive, with only minor scene changes for some choices. There were many different options for development as well as exposition that were incredibly well executed in the first game that this one simply misses, relatively often. It may have sacrificed a slight amount of quality for length.
Further gameplay will be done to prove or disprove my points. There are currently three more required playthroughs of other MCs, and at least one more with a full pursuit of Stoic(despite already having tried) to determine the final score.
For now, however, it receives 3.5/5 for a strong story, but more restrictive and deceiving choices as well as underdeveloped characters and needless events and exposition.
I do realize that certain choices relied on the previous game and may not have been able to translate well, but many simple mistakes could have avoided if the more complex routes had been taken. Even adding a few choices regarding relationships such as “I am dating DG but I’m also interested in Stoic secretly.” It would have made the relationship be consistent and open the “possibility” of Stoic being available. Had Stoic been pursued in that path, a breakup scene could have been written.
After all that, I still love this game to pieces. I desperately cannot wait another three to five years for the next instalment. Highly recommended to fans of the series, but newcomers should begin with the first book.Show less4NINETY4
A fine change
I have been a loyal supporter of COG and Hosted games for several years and have bought most released games on IOS.
I’m aware that the change of adding new games to a single app rather than releasing a new app for every game is a necessary change.
As far as the consumer’s outcome of this deal goes, I feel that is a welcome change. So far, the app has been convenient to use and I imagine that the COG omni app is basically the same.
I would recommend adding all of the company’s games to the apps sometime in the future. I only hope that this change does not negatively affect the ability for the uninitiated to become introduced to the games.Show less43BNJ
