Underrated beat'em'up with randomly generated rooms and items.
Coop works great, even online (it saves your progress exactly where you disconnected, enemy health and all).
Star of the game is the best basic combat system I've seen in a while. Simple controls, surprisingly high depth.

We liked this game much better than Castle Crashers. Humour isn't as juvenile, there's many more things to unlock, rooms and items are more interesting. Great hidden gem

I really wish this game's modding scene had become more popular. Thankfully the ones that are there do improve gameplay enough for it to be a nice budget hack-and-slash.

It doesn't take full overhauls either. Simply grab some quality of life mods. Mods that improve item variety. A couple that add new terrain chunks for random generation.

I wouldn't recommend vanilla TL2 anymore. But as the only moddable ARPG it still has a niche I like coming back to.

Game got a lot of good reviews back then. I finally got it in a Steam sale to play with a friend of mine over the internet.

Constant FPS drops remained even after we took the ridiculous advice to switch to 800x600 resolution. Can't remap buttons. Annoyingly long unskippable cutscenes with puerile humor.

Gameplay is uninteresting. Hell I'd even call it grindy. You're stuck with the same class the entire campaign as switching to level 1 knights is suicide.
Enemy attacks aren't telegraphed well, felt impossible to avoid. Player combos are very limited.

By the time we got to the Panda village we couldn't make progress anymore. We tried leveling up in earlier levels but it simply wasn't fun.

I tried really hard to keep spirits up. But my friend had absolutely no motivation left.
Now it sits in my library forever unfinished. I played it a few more times, but, well... he's right.
It's kind of a crap game.

Promising "slice" of a polished puzzle game akin to Portal or Antichamber. Thought-provoking texts that if you aren't into philosophical themes are easy to ignore

Annoying trial & error minigame that made me feel stupid after the great Talos Principle demo managed to make me feel smart. The rewards are random messages that mean nothing to me
