"Darkest Dungeon II isn't an easy experience to dive into, but it is a worthwhile one. "Where its predecessor was concerned mostly with the physical and emotional wear and tear that comes with a life of violence, Darkest Dungeon II is more invested in showing how dire circumstances affect your heroes' relationships." If you're willing to go with the flow, it's an engaging and exciting title, if not quite the masterpiece of the original." It will take hardened Darkest Dungeon players a bit to adjust to the change. It shares a tone, a combat system, and a general aesthetic, but the flow and style of gameplay is so different that it is entirely its own thing. One can't pre-judge DDII based on a player's opinion of the original. It's its own thing that is a darn fun game with a lot of interesting mechanics and beautiful artwork. "Darkest Dungeon II is not the game I wanted. For a roguelite experience that pushes your creativity and tolerance to the limit, you'll struggle to find much better than Darkest Dungeon II." Though that doesn't away from the huge amount of enjoyment the game is able to instil and the exhilaration you get when exploring Darkest Dungeon II with an open mind. Veterans of the previous game will be surprised by the reworked mechanics, and it will take some time to adapt. But as you learn from your mistakes and unlock more resources, the challenges can be conquered, and it feels mighty good to do so.
"Darkest Dungeon II is a gruelling experience where you constantly fail and luck isn't on your side. The streamlined (in a good way) combat, reduced grind and improved character dynamics comes at a cost of the removal of the comfy base management of the original."
There are some things the sequel does well and some things it doesn't. It aims to occupy a spot right beside its predecessor. "Darkest Dungeon 2 is not trying to replace the first game. If you're willing to make the needed sacrifices, it's a journey well worth taking." "When I found myself shouting in relief and frenetically raising my fist in the air after a hard battle ends in my favor, I can't deny the following fact: Darkest Dungeon II is a harsh but fantastic game whose white-knuckled battles and hazard-filled exploration will trap you for hours.
"A copious and often brilliant, if not quite unmissable reworking of a powerfully grim fantasy."
