    Monster Train 2 is the latter, a slightly more polished version of the original with more content for fans to plow through. It trades memorability for momentary captivation, and it’s an understandable tradeoff. Just like with the first game, though, the memories of my hours mowing down Titans are already melting away.

  2. Heaven is only a fleeting fiction, next to the protean immensity of the deck.

    Sometimes, this experimentation can be deeply demoralizing—Shiny Shoe knows what its game can do when players go nuts on it, so it’s very comfortable tossing roadblocks at the player that can bring a whole run to a grinding halt if you’re not ready for them—but it’s still one of the most compulsive gaming experiences of the year so far.

    It’s fluid, the new mechanics all make perfect sense, and there are plenty of interesting builds to mess around with and try and figure out. If you liked Monster Train, you’re going to love Monster Train 2. [Review in Progress]
