Years after its announcement, Darkest Dungeon 2 finally debuted in full version on the first platform. Many players still have to wait to get acquainted with the title, but there are many indications that the developers did not disappoint.
Darkest Dungeon hit the first platforms in 2016, but the developers have been developing the game for a long time, uploading the game to other devices and preparing add-ons. The sequel was announced in 2019.
Was it worth the wait? Darkest Dungeon 2 currently collects ratings of 83% (Opencritic) and 82% (Metacritic) – these are similar scores compared to 2016 (83-84%). Journalists praise, among other things, an extensive and satisfying fight, which again does not forgive the slightest mistakes.
The creators decided to refresh the graphics and the jump from 2D to 3D gives the adventure a new life. There are new mechanics in the game that expand the duels, the structure of the rogue-lite gameplay encourages the game as we make difficult choices and manage resources all the time. The title is characterized by great replayability.
However, Darkest Dungeon 2 has several systems based on randomness, which can negatively affect the experience, the position again offers a very high entry threshold, and it is necessary to repeat the same acts during the game, which can get boring at some point.,
Here are the first Darkest Dungeon 2 ratings:
- The Games Machine – 9.5 / 10,
