Kick the Buddy: Second Kick is the definitive version of the world's most famous stress-relief game. If you've ever had a long day and just wanted to vent some frustration, this is the perfect digital outlet. The 'Buddy' is an indestructible doll that you can interact with in an almost endless number of ways. You can stretch his limbs, toss him around, or use an incredible arsenal of tools that range from simple hammers to over-the-top sci-fi gadgets.

What makes this 'Second Kick' version special is the remastered visual quality and the enhanced physics. Buddy's reactions are more expressive and hilariously realistic than ever. The progression system is actually quite rewarding; as you interact with Buddy, you earn coins to unlock even more creative (and often absurd) ways to play. It’s not meant to be a deep narrative experience—it’s a sandbox for stress relief, and in that regard, it’s absolutely king of the genre. It's colorful, funny, and surprisingly satisfying.

Dinsun Review

I don't see the appeal of 'stress relief' that involves virtual torture. As a conservative gamer, I like games with goals and a sense of accomplishment. Kick the Buddy is just mindless violence with no point. It’s a sequel that adds more stuff, but the 'stuff' is just more ways to do the same thing.

The physics are decent, I'll give it that, but the game is so heavily monetized that every third click opens a menu asking for money or an ad. It feels like it was designed for a very young, very bored audience with short attention spans. It’s loud, it’s obnoxious, and it’s shallow.
