Uuuuuf...could say, read my review for part 1.
In addition:
New game, fresh bugs.
Nearly finished 1st map, then slipped at the colloseum and got stuck in the wall (think i saw a guy along community-pics, that ended just the same).
Referring to part 1, this game has done the following things better:
- slightly better visuals/models;
- new weapons;
- no falling through tilesets in my test-run (but i only tested map 1);
- better/smarter A.I., more challenging fights;
Referring to part 1, this game has done the following things worse:
- pressing "Esc", even when you're just using "i" for inventory, to equip stuff or take a potion or to pause the game like before, results in aborting the mission;
- key-mappings/-bindings are unavailable and faulty (i = inventory, w,a,s,d, LShift = run, LShift + LMB = heavy attack, LCtrl, q = wield/holster weapons [after equipping with i and RMB > equip], r = rolling/dodging);
- if you equip the health potion, it does not use the key-binding from the first game (f), but instead occupies your r, which means, you either are jumpy and retreat to heal with i > consume [risk of naturally pressing Esc and aborting the game], or you take all the beating, but only need to press r [probably the dev thought "r" like "rolling and "r" like "recovery", ended up it "T like trash and trolling"];
- hard-attack has been rendered nearly absolutely useless (gets easily blocked, parried or misses permanently);
So another time, a beautiful showoff of nice visuals/asset-sets and halfway skill to design a level, but then again it's held that slippy, that you can't actually play it at all.
If it would be working properly, it would be a Vermintide 2-singleplayer-game, that could be named "Lord of Warsia" (resemblence to Lord of War and Prince of Persia).
This way, it only can be called, "Waste of money".
And again my thoughts:
"If only the devs would have put more efforts into it, it might even be worth it!".
Makes me so sad on the inside. ;.(
I've given up, trying part 3, as i doubt, anything has changed (about playability of this game-series).
But if you like glitchy, bugged games, then you definetely should not miss this gem out.
