Considered as one of the hardest and most frustrating games of all time, Darkest Dungeon II is a turn-based rogue-lite game where players embark on a treacherous journey through a decaying world. 

Players lead a party of heroes to confront both physical and psychological terrors. The game builds upon the success of its predecessor with its enhanced 3D visuals, innovative turn-based combat system, and a diverse range of playable heroes.

The first game, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/darkest-dungeon/">Darkest Dungeon</a>, gained infamy for being too challenging back in 2016. Fans however, overcame the game's difficulty and enjoyed the overall experience. It's one of <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/best/single-player/">the best PC single-players</a> with a playscore of 8.7 from 38 critics and over 70 thousand players. 

This sequel, Darkest Dungeon II found new footing from player feedback in the first entry. However, it did not capture enough of the original’s terrifying novelty. It still did a lot of things right, resulting in a playscore of 7.7 for PC from over 10 thousand players and 42 critics. 

Despite all that, the game is not over yet. Fans of the series can look forward to more Darkest Dungeon II content in the future. Its upcoming update will introduce a new game mode titled ‘Kingdoms’. This challenges players to defend their realm from invading factions. The first of these modules, Hunger of the Beast Clan, will see players battling vicious, decaying beastmen.

In addition to the free content, a paid DLC expansion, ‘Inhuman Bondage’, will also be released soon. This update will introduce a new mini-region known as The Catacombs, a dangerous locale filled with new enemies. Additionally, the expansion will also feature the return of The Abomination, a fan-favorite character from the original Darkest Dungeon. It will offer a unique battle mechanic tied to stress and transformation.

Both the free update and paid DLC will be available to players who purchase the physical edition of Darkest Dungeon II when they launch.
