Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage 2 Review - The Digital Fix

The visceral thrill of combat is an alluring and pervasive component in games but it’s rare to find a title that focuses solely on one man’s fists. Well, that’s a misnomer; feet, elbows and weapons are included too but pale in comparison to Hokuto Skinken, a martial art that manipulates the body’s weakpoints to induce spontaneous explosion. Based on an eighties manga, Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage 2 follows Kenshiro, holder of the art of Hokuto Shinken, as he travels through a Mad Max-esque wasteland assisting the needy, punching people in the face and generally being a nice guy/badass killing machine (depending on how you approach him). 5/10
