I was expecting a decent game that was largely a rehash of the first but it is truly improved in both obvious and subtle ways.
   
   I was concerned when I saw the same hero characters would be returning but the addition of sub classes, skill trees and abilities makes for a much wider range of play styles than before.
   
   The loot is acquired in a much fairer way. I'm not sure about just having a 'power' stat but there's plenty of extra effects and buffs that you get with non common weapons.
   
   There's the same number of missions (13) but this time each level is fully fleshed out so there's no glorified horde mode missions. It's a matter of the same amount of content on paper but in reality these's quite a bit more.
   
   A perhaps underappreciated area of improvement is the increase in number of 'non-special' enemy types. As well as adding enemies like the warpfire thrower the game adds lots of subtly different enemies that deepen the melee combat. For example, mixing in plague monks, berserkers and shielded enemies into the horde forces you to develop your tactics beyond just swinging an axe at a large mob. This also makes the ranged combat more tactical as instead of just thinning out a horde you can target the more high level threats and avoid wasting ammo on shielded enemies.
   
   Blocking also seems to be done much better this time round, especially when blocking multiple smaller opponents.
   
   There's a couple of bugs, mainly to do with bosses getting stuck sometimes but it's not much of an issue and they can fix a lot of that later down the line. Performance is good for me and only dips when there's a ridiculous amount of enemies on screen.
   
   The graphics are great but more importantly the art design is a lot more interesting and varied this time around. There's a lot of nice vistas and lighting effects.
   
   The community is also pretty nice, not met anyone who was a prick yet. They could add short cuts for certain shout outs such as 'group up' which would be useful in quick play.
   
   Overall a pretty damn good game and easily worth the price imo. Just be aware that the game is designed to be replayed multiple times just like the first one. There's also little story, it's just about the combat really although there is a good amount of voice lines, environmental story telling and text pieces that provide some good context should you wish to look. Just don't expect the last of us. I'd happily pay full price for the game but the lower price tag makes it a lot easier to convince friends to try it out which is great for such a co-op focused game.
