Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is a step up from its already impressive predecessor. Despite the occasional bug throughout play, the game offers up a refined experience that never wavers its pace nor its excitement. This is everything that a sequel should be, which is to say that it takes what worked in the first game and makes slight, yet notable improvements to maintain its distinct allure. Vermintide 2 is a must have.
Anthony Cole · Jul 16, 2018 Reviewed on XB1Read full reviewIt's undoubtedly a game that will be tweaked and expanded upon over its lifetime, but Warhammer: Vermintide 2 already feels like a formidable co-op package. Beautiful audio and visuals back up its engaging gameplay, performance is solid, and its serving of content is generous. Throw in some deep character options and development and you have a winner. If you're into co-op gaming then Vermintide 2 is essential.
Richard Seagrave · Apr 19, 2018 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewVermintide 2s’s co-op delights are gruesome fun, especially if you have a dedicated group of friends to take on the horde of monsters and level up your characters. The bloody thrills of working with fellow players to shred entire armies of foes into meat makes this grisly battlefield surprisingly fun (if unsettling) place to spend time.
Javy Gwaltney · Mar 20, 2018 Reviewed on PCEven with a few minor and infrequent hiccups, Warhammer: Vermintide 2 serves as an excellent platform for players keen on first-person cooperative action. The number of missions and environments, to say nothing of the different characters and classes, should provide enough content and customization to keep fans happy for the foreseeable future. As for cutting through the rising and falling ranks of the vicious Vermintide; well, it just feels good.
Kevin Tucker · Mar 20, 2018 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewEven though the combat is simple and the loot isn’t very interesting, Vermintide 2 is an absolute blast to play when cutting through wave after wave of enemies, especially with a group.
Kyle Nicol · Mar 19, 2018 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewVermintide 2 is an improvement over its predecessor with more beautifully designed sprawling levels, more varied enemy types, an addictive loot system, and a whole lot of character skills to try out. The sequel is at its best when it's creating tense moments, even if it can quickly get a little bit overwhelming. I also apologize to all of those I left to die in matchmaking.
Rich Meister · Mar 15, 2018 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewWarhammer Vermintide 2 is a beautifully dark game, and I’m in love with its hard-hitting, meaty melee weapons. It’s a gorgeous game with tons of fun play styles and customization options to uncover, even if most of the loot you earn for your efforts is a letdown. But thankfully you don’t need to pay much attention to it to simply enjoy the hack-n-slash, Left 4 Dead-inspired co-op fun of bashing hordes of rats and zombies to a pulp.
Tom Marks · Mar 15, 2018 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewWarhammer: Vermintide 2 is a game that stands alone, as one of the few follow-ups to the cooperative formula that Left 4 Dead established. It also perfectly captures the feel of Warhammer fantasy: the missions are hard, with players wading into blood and fire to dispatch the hordes of Skaven and Chaos. Being a coop game, your fun will live and die on matchmaking and group composition.
Mike Williams · Mar 13, 2018 Reviewed on PCAt the end of the day, Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is an excellent example of a properly handled sequel. It takes the recipe of the first game, which mixed visceral combat with a high requirement of teamwork and position awareness, and builds on top of it, both with its career system and new enemies.
Woozie · Mar 13, 2018 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewIt's frustrating that a sequel would still struggle to nail such simple multiplayer basics, and the obscured RPG progression doesn't entice me the way it does in similar games. But Vermintide 2 succeeds on the merits of its stellar combat and level design. After nearly 40 hours, that Rotblood warhorn signalling a zerg-like rush of raiders, or the sound of a Gutter Runner assassin chattering in the darkness, still turns my blood to ice.

Good
Reviewed on PCA very good but flawed game. I really love the melee combat mechanic, I think the combat of this game is what makes this so good. High difficulty gameplay of this game is really challenging as if it's a souls-like, especially if you play on the modded realm which makes it 10x more challenging with the right mods of course. My only complaint in this game is that developers doesn't seem to bother to fix some of the bugs that had been plaguing this game for about two years now. I also hate the fact that they put Cataclysm which is the hardest difficulty in the vanilla game was put into a paywall which doesn't make sense at all.
Reviewed on PCOh boy. This game. I got it through a sale. And, I am so glad that I waited for a sale on this game. Because this game is shallow as a puddle. Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is a bit meh. If you get rid of all the fantasy plot and settings, you are simply a group of 4 rat exterminators. There! It's Left 4 Dead, but with rats. "But wait! Aren't their zombies in this game? Chaos? Hello!?" you may say. Well, that is true. but the majority of the special units in the game you encounter are pretty much the Skaven. So yeah, it's technically just you and 4 other dweebs slicing through hordes of rats and zombies, passing objectives from point A to point B. Its a really shallow game. I do not recommend playing this game solo. I suggest that you play the game with friends.
