Soul Hackers 2 is the newest JRPG published by Atlus Studios (who previously created the highly recognized Persona series). As the sequel to Soul Hackers, this new sci-fi story puts the player in the shoes of Ringo and a group of Summoners struggling with their own pasts in a city on the verge of destruction. Like other JRPGs, Soul Hackers 2 has a multitude of optional activities. One of them is to feed the characters a variety of meals.
Soul Hackers 2 is heavily influenced by the Persona series, yet its storyline and gameplay mechanics make it different. Different meals provide different benefits to the gamer's character, therefore let's immediately begin the tour to the best meals in Souls Hacker 2.
Meal Types In Soul Hackers 2
The player can try out a wide variety of meals (and food buffs) throughout the game, the majority of which must be purchased when traveling in the Overworld. The selection of meals relies on the player's needs and preferences. For example, choosing Negoti-ale would be best for negotiating with demons, or if the player desires extra HP, they should pick Humble Mushroom Rice Porridge.
Meals may be acquired from a number of places, and the game doesn't disappoint in terms of variety. When it comes to meals and boosts, gamers will have a plethora of options. The following are the best 20 meals that provide the best buffs in Soul Hackers 2:

More About Food Buffs In Soul Hackers 2
After beating the tutorial boss, players will be able to buy and consume meals. One thing to keep in mind is that if the player leaves their Safehouse and go into the Overworld, the consumed food buffs will be triggered and will remain active for the duration of time spent in the Overworld. However, the player's boosts will vanish if they leave the Overworld.
Another thing to remember is the face icon of the character while selecting a meal in the Safehouse. This indicator represents how much the character enjoys the dish. Depending on how joyful the face icon is, greater buffs will be triggered.
Soul Hackers 2 is available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
