While a little on the safe side for a sequel, we had a good time with old-school beat ’em up River City Girls 2 when it was released last year, although we did notice some technical issues along the way. Fortunately, several of these have been tackled by developer WayForward in the game’s latest update, which is available to download today.
It looks like ironing out small tweaks has been the main thrust of the update, but there have also been some tweaks made to the game’s performance as well as the implementation of repeated New Game + playthroughs.
The full patch notes were published on the game’s Steam page, and we have pulled them together for you to take a look at below.
