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.

Overall, my experience with Vermintide 2 was filled with ratman genocide induced glee, only the occasional matchmaking team-up proving too much to bear with and connections being stable enough, as well to avoid having blows miss or aimed shots wasted.

Vermintide 2's co-op battling is nice step forward over the original. It's gruelling at times, and that can sap the fun out when you're failing missions and not making progress, with the weighty combat, the additional sub-classes and a long and deep progression of difficulty and loot, there's plenty here for those that want to be in for the long haul.

If you really like brutal fights, you don't mind occasional chaos and are looking for an interesting co-op game, Warhammer: Vermintide II can only be recommended. So what are you waiting for? Take your sword or axe and go annihilate hundreds of Skaven.

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.

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.

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.

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.

An interesting coop game that does almost everything ok but doesn't evolves the original games' formula enought to make us feel like playing a complete new game.

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

Warhammer Vermintide 2 is the much anticipated sequel to the violence-laced title sharing game before it. With a bleak outlook of a story, you're meant to take down hordes after horde for the Empire. Various beloved faces make their way into this pre-apocalyptic setting, ready to fight by your side. The entire game tosses you into the idea that you're biting off more than you can chew. Not that it will stop you from gritting your teeth and trudging on.

Even though there's a deep and rewarding RPG-lite customisation system in place, it still comes down to strategy, working as a team, and being, well, good enough to takedown a Spawn of Chaos when your team's back is literally against the wall. And then survive whatever end-game scenario a mission might throw at you.

More of the same it may be, but when it's this much fun, no one is going to complain.

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 doesn't just reinvigorate the template that Left 4 Dead established all those years ago, instead it stabs, sets it aflame and proceeds to kick it through the nearest wall. This is one of the best co-op games available and toweringly fine way to close out 2018.
