Takeover 2 review roundup
Scores I will quote
The later Steam reading on 13 Nov 2026 showed Very Positive, 113 reviews, and 84% positive. An earlier same-day snapshot had 112 reviews at 83%. These are successive readings of the same Steam counter, not two independent sources. The table uses the later snapshot.
Metacritic’s critic score was tbd. The page said critic reviews were not available yet. The user score was also tbd, and the page wanted four ratings before it would show one. I found no OpenCritic entry when I searched the site. I am not going to type a critic average that does not exist.
| Place | Score | Sample | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|
| Steam | Very Positive, 84% | 113 reviews | 1 source: Steam store, later 13 Nov reading |
| Metacritic critics | tbd | No critic reviews yet | Metacritic page |
| Metacritic users | tbd | 0 ratings shown | Metacritic page |
| OpenCritic | No entry found | Site search, 13 Nov 2026 |
Video reviews, including Matt McMuscles
The search “the takeover 2 matt” points at Matt McMuscles, the YouTuber Matt Kowalewski, not at a fighter. He wrote and produced the 2019 game, posted a sequel trailer on 2 Nov 2026, and sat in on a Giant Bomb Quick Look. I file him here and on the trailer page, and I do not add a character named Matt.
Other videos in the same cluster: Flexin85 (11:33), a short GamingByte piece (2:50), Justin Wong (15:01), Retro Pocket (9:02), and the Giant Bomb Quick Look (36:03). View counts move, so I am not pinning the ones I saw in research notes as if they were still exact. These are personal or channel reviews. They are not a Metacritic panel. The 2019 game’s reputation is a different column: that game already has a long Steam review history, and mixing it into this score would answer the wrong question. The sequel comparison is on Takeover 2 vs The TakeOver.
