Mechanically refined survival game with a passable story, good quality-of-life features, and excellent early game. Somewhat repetitious combat and enemy variety, but good building mechanics and resource system. Definitely worth 50-90 hours playtime if you're a fan of the genre.

The gold standard in live-service games.

Unique Warhammer gameplay. Fun story campaign. Little grindy, however.

Fun, accessible party game to play with friends. Well designed courses, plenty of community content, and cosmetics are unlockable through gameplay.

Excellent writing, and generally fun mechanics and pacing, but cannot recommend in current state.

Acts 1-3 had small, minimal bugs, such as missing textures or other visual bugs.

Act 4 is clearly not QA tested, and has multiple game-breaking bugs, balance issues, missing jpg files, and feels like an unfinished beta/alpha.

Many positive reviews seem to have only played the early acts, which were publicly play-tested, and thus, far more polished.

Verdict would be to buy later on sale/after patches.

That old-school Bioware feel with 2023 graphics and gameplay.

Flawed but fun.

Sprawling and excellent.

A suprisingly story-rich survival game with decent mechanics.

Vermintide 2 lacks polish, but is well worth the price. The combat is weighty and satisfying, the levels feel unique and are all beautifully detailed and the progression system is a vast improvement over Vermintide 1.

Overall, it's probably the best Co-Op game to come out within the last year, with a large amount of replayability. It feels like a game designed with an "older" philosphy in mind--no microtransactions of any sort, only "large scale" DLC planned, and no grind-heavy endgame. If you find the core gameplay satisfying, you'll have fun, if not, it's not your game. At 30 dollars, it's well worth the price.
