Vermintide II feels like a predictable step in a fantastic direction. It's retained all of the bits of its predecessor that felt novel, and its gone the extra mile creating an ocean of foes that feel trickier and deadlier than ever before.

In the end, if you fancy going for better loot, fight more powerful enemies, and unlock all kinds of cool items, Warhammer: Vermintide 2 seems like a dream come true. Even with the bugs and the slightly unbalanced system, it's a game that still tricks me somehow into playing just one more map.

FatShark has done a fantastic job of taking their first game and improving on every single aspect. The recurring theme of offering players a variety of tools, characters and enemies to face leads to a crescendo of unique moments that are all entirely player driven. While the difficulty spikes can be frustrating, part of the fun in Vermintide 2 is being against the odds and prevailing.

The core gameplay of the original Vermintide was an incredibly strong formula that was wrapped in a package that didn't live up to the same level of quality. The sequel, Warhammer: Vermintide 2, has clearly taken what was learned from that game to heart and delivered an awfully gleeful gameplay loop. Hop into a match, lop off a few heads, gain experience and gear, and next time, lop off stouter heads while carrying a couple of grims. Vermintide 2 is exemplary of what the genre can become, and it's an especially great reason to grab some friends, sit down, and slay a few thousand foes.

Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is an intense, and challenging experience. The battles are violent and bloody, and the weapons are fun to use with a nice feeling of impact. The characters and their classes are perfectly balanced and thus fun to play, while levels designes are atmospheric, colorful, interseting, and filled with memorable vistas. However, Lack of dedicated servers and poor voicechat user experience can ruin the otherwise enjoyable experience.

Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is one of my best experiences of 2018 and certainly one of the best among other similar games. It is an amazing and deep co-op action game that has so many to offer to gamers. Gameplay elements, combat mechanics, art style, world theme and also atmosphere of Warhammer Vermintide 2, feels like a balanced mixture of Skyrim, Lord of the Rings and Middle Earth series for me. Either you are a big fan of first person action games or not, Warhammer Vermintide 2 is a high quality and valuable game that i recommend for any taste.

Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is a precious title who aims for a specific type of gamers, those who are ready to sacrifice everything in order to just have fun with their friends, and that fun factor is exactly the reason why you wouldn't care about the game's problems that much.

Vermintide 2 is available on several platforms but I really recommend going for where you'll have friends to play with. I cannot stress this enough. Playing this game with friends is truly worth it.

This sequel is a perfect example of building from the first game’s successes while simultaneously focusing on improving where it fell short.

With new enemies, new careers and new missions to check out, Vermintide 2 is a fantastic sequel to an already phenomenal game. It’s not perfect, with a difficulty spike so sharp that scientists could study it to make better laser pointers, but it’s great once you get into it. With satisfying combat in a vivid imagining of the Warhammer End Times, VT2 is almost a no-brainer. The real no-brainer is our undying faith in Sigmar, which should never wane even in the face of bile trolls.

Vermintide 2 improves pretty much every aspect of its predecessor, except the one which matters the most, loot variety and vertical progression. Enjoyable in short bursts, but lacks longevity at the moment.

After having recently taken Vermintide 2 for a spin during their closed beta any worries that I may have had for the newest edition were put to rest like that latest Slaven horde that came calling for our heroes' blood. Equipped once again with swords, guns, crossbows, hammers and explosives, take control of the group of five heroes as four of them head out into crazy missions with less than friendly odds of survival.

Vermintide II may not introduce enough news so that we don't consider it a Vermintide 1.5, but it isn't need it, because if the formula of the first worked, the sequel does everything that made its predecessor.

Although the game is far from perfect in its current state, it's able to present a unique experience on a shaky foundation that will keep players entertained.

Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is the kind of sequel that ups the ante on its predecessor’s brutal monster hunting and creates a smooth, fluid multiplayer hack’n’slash. It can still adjust some balancing issues and maybe tweak the challenge, but it’s a great way to team up with some friends and unleash hell
