History YMMV / EntropyZero2

* SequelDifficultyDrop: One of the main reasons it's more positively received than the original. The combat is still challenging but it's more reasonably balanced to alleviate unfair deaths, and the puzzles aren't nearly as obtuse as before.

** Bad Cop finally acquires a revolver near the tail-end of ''[[NoGearLevel Chamber Catacomb]]'', and his enthusiastic reaction to having one as if he was a child being given a brand new toy. And yes, this includes RecklessGunUsage. Thankfully, it was out of ammo. Additionally, the revolver is unceremoniously labelled as "A Gun" in your weapon selection HUD, in contrast to every other weapon whose names are described in far more detail.

* CatharsisFactor: The Aperture turrets which gave you trouble in the ''VideoGame/{{Portal}}'' games? Not only are some of them reprogrammed to be friendly to you, but you can also pick them up and use them to effortlessly gun down oncoming enemies. Unfortunately though, these turrets don't possess infinite ammo, so the fun is short-lasted. (However, the Aperture Turret that opens the door for you DOES have infinite ammo and can essentially act as an invincible-yet-limited mobile bullet shield that can easily mow down foes from close-medium range for you and can even be carried to the very end of the story! Though juggling between carrying it and Wilson can be a major pain, but it '''IS''' doable, though it doesn't fire at [[spoiler:Clone Cop or the Advisor unfortunately...]])
* EnsembleDarkHorse: Wilson, who is loved for being good-natured for an [[AIIsACrapshoot Aperture Science A.I.]] and for his banter with Bad Cop. Even though he is only mandatory for one section in the game, many players opt to take him all the way to the upload station at the end like he asks, helped by the fact that there is an achievement for doing so.
* EvenBetterSequel: Widely considered to be a ''huge'' step up from the original mod, to the point that at the time of this writing it has an ''Overwhelmingly Positive'' review score on its Steam page compared to the original mod's ''Very Positive''.

'''Bad Cop''': Okay! Your benefactors humbly thank you for your cooperation.

* SpiritualAntithesis: The similarities to ''VideoGame/HuntDownTheFreeman'' haven't gone unnoticed by fans. Both games are about [[VillainProtagonist being in the shoes of one of the enemy soldiers]] [[BreakoutMookCharacter you gun down by the dozen]] in the ''VideoGame/HalfLife'' series, the plots of both involve hunting down a major character from the original game, and both plots run concurrently with the original games' plots. The major difference is that ''Entropy : Zero 2'' was far better received than ''Hunt Down The Freeman'', both in gameplay and story.
