    Undoubtedly, this sequel hid more surprises than we expected. [Recommended]

    There is a story, told mostly through notes left strewn around the environments, but I’d be lying if I said I paid any attention to it. The draw here is the gameplay loop, and if what I’ve described above sounds tedious to you, the game is absolutely not for you. Rogue Legacy 2 is a game about repeated failure, and only slow, incremental progress will lead to your success.

    Cellar Door adds more depth and plenty of new ways to enjoy its charming roguelike formula. [Eurogamer Recommmended]

    Rogue Legacy 2’s extremely random nature would crush a lesser game, but Cellar Door Games uses that pressure to create diamonds. Even if it’s occasionally frustrating, Rogue Legacy 2 refuses to ever let me be bored, and that’s more than enough to set it apart from the heap of roguelites that have followed in the original game’s wake. I’m 30 hours into Rogue Legacy 2, and I’m still discovering new toys to play with. But I still haven’t found another spoon.

    Now, I wouldn't say that Rogue Legacy 2 features an area or a weapon or otherwise that's utterly bonkers. There is nothing on selection here that's all too different from other roguelikes or metroidvanias. Still, it doesn't matter. All of its many, many, systems coalesce into a roguelike that'll give you a great big "one more run" itch. And it's an itch that rewards you, no matter how much you scratch.

    This game is truly awesome. It improves on the first game in every way. Don't sleep on this one!

    Honestly what else could you want from a rogue-lite? I loved the original Rogue Legacy and somehow they managed to make RL 2 even better. TonsHonestly what else could you want from a rogue-lite? I loved the original Rogue Legacy and somehow they managed to make RL 2 even better. Tons of classes and subclasses (reaper and pizza knights). Lots of unlocks that give you a reason to play NG+ if you want. Fun gameplay, good boss fights, platforming that is hard but not too hard (looking at you celeste). It's just a joy to play.… Full Review »

    Best game I've played in ages. If you like Hollow Knight/other Metroidvania games, get this one. PS I never write reviews, this is really a gem.
