    One of those multiplayer games you can just play with your friends. Endlessly. It's almost as good as lift 4 dead, but it is just a good one to play with the pals once in a while.

    loot system is a bit annoying but at least they give you chest on completing a level so it's don't get too annoying to get loot and you get a lot of resources that you can scrap to make specific weapons you like ,so it's is the best loot system I have seen.

    The game has every kind of medieval stuff you want the dungeons that are the castles that are the little villages it has all the fantasy stuff you'd like to see.

    The game isn't too punishing when you play with friends you can rely revive them very often so it's not one of those where one of your friends have to just sit in a corner be sad all game because you will not be resurrected dem.    … Expand

    After 1,000 hours in this game with a ~2 year break in the middle, I am so satisfied with the game. Multiplayer fun times! Having Voice Chat that is of decent enough quality, helps finds people to be friends with (and then use Discord more)... Scaling and itemizing is great. New DLC subclasses and this month new maps is amazing. More!

    Great co-op mass-slaying fun. Many builds cooperation necessary, lots to collect, and overall just a fun gameplay pattern.

    Vermintide is a masterpiece of a horde PvE game. Being easy to get into and tough to master, the gameplay/combat feels liquid, fresh and innovative.

    Discovered lately but a very very good co-op game at a very good price with lot of content and very addictive.
    Lot of loot, skills and a good group needed. If you like the Warhammer lore you will love this one.
    Graphics are quite good for what we need for this type of game.

    Un excellent jeu qui renferme beaucoup de mécaniques qu'on ne voit pas au premier abord. De nombreux défi et des combat très bien fait et agréable ce jeu est un pur plaisir qui mettra quand même au défi les réflexe et la stratégie même sous des apparences de jeu bourrin. Je le conseil très fortement, sans doute l'un des meilleur jeu Warhammer.

    Проведя в игре 45 часов имею сказать следующее, дамы и господа - очень противоречивые чувства вызывает творение. Ну, собственно, по порядку.
    Плюсы:
    + аутентичная рисовка (крысы и воины хаоса вызывают полнейший восторг) + довольно неплохая графика + хорошая оптимизация (лучше чем у вархамер тотал вар 3) + хорошо реализованные уровни сложности, которые действительно различаются.

    Плюсы:
    + аутентичная рисовка (крысы и воины хаоса вызывают полнейший восторг)
    + довольно неплохая графика
    + хорошая оптимизация (лучше чем у вархамер тотал вар 3)
    + хорошо реализованные уровни сложности, которые действительно различаются. Чем выше уровень сложности, тем сыграннее должна быть команда, иначе смерть. И это прекрасно
    + локации. Наконец - то они большие, красивые, проработанные, местами даже хочется делать скрины
    + игра отошла от псевдо-командной работы, как в других подобных играх, здесь нужна команда
    + желание нарезать, расстреливать не отпускает первые часов 10 пока ты не прохаваешь механику, и вот тогда то и вылезают минусы, которые уничтожают все то положительно-прекрасное, о чем написано выше.
    Минусы:
    - прокачка героев. Она топорная. Убогая. Хуже может быть только....да ничего не может быть хуже. 30 левелов на каждом из которых мы можем выбрать себе способность. Для каждого ГГ три перка. ВСЕ. Точка. Для остальных героев все одинаково. Я так понял это была попытка скопировать систему из Killing Floor, но вышел жидкий обосрайтунг
    - жадность Шарков. Требовать космические прайсы за мелкие ДЛС. Неистребимое стремление еще с первой части игры.

    ВЫВОД: покупать любителям вселенной Фентези Батлс однозначно. Всем остальным с учетом "поправок на ветер". Реиграбельности у игры ноль целых хрен десятых, если вы не имеете верную пачку товарищей для каток.    … Expand

    Such a fun game to play together with friends. The world is really cool and I love the fantasy elements of it. So gloomy and mysterious in the best kind of way. Fun and different characters. If you want some action and fight against Skavens this is a game for you.

    It's amazing how such a simple concept can be so much fun! You plow through hordes and hordes of rats, chaos warriors and beastmen to complete unique goal of level. And there are plenty of levels to choose from. Mechanics of the game are working perfectly, no glitches, no bugs, just pure pleasure. With every level started you feel more and more immersed into the world of Warhammer.

    WARHAMMER: VERMINTIDE 2 is a hack & slash fan's dream come true. 3D hacking & slashing does not get any better than this. The only downside is, it's co-op. I would prefer a single player version of the game, but at least you can enter a private session and the three other characters get played by bots. These act fairly well - I had no issues with pathfinding or the AI in general.

I would prefer a single player version of the game, but at least you can enter a private session and the three other characters get played by bots. These act fairly well - I had no issues with pathfinding or the AI in general.
    You have the choice between 5 characters: a soldier, a dwarven and an elven ranger, a witch hunter and a mage, each of which has another 3 sub classes that unlock with levels. I preferred the DLC Grail Knight who is heavily armored but may not use any ranged weapons. But what character you choose comes down to personal preference.
    The game is better balanced than it's predecessor which sucked if you played with only bots. The AI has been improved significantly and being grappled by one of the special enemies now no longer is a death sentence. As a matter of fact on the easiest difficulty setting this game is playable without much tactics - simple hack & slash with the 3 other bots holding their own.
    The graphics and fantastic, each map is very detailed and looks like an actual medieval town or castle complete with narrow cobble stone alleys. The architecture is just amazing! Weapons feel real and have superb feedback. Butchering hordes of ratmen feels like the lawnmower scene in Peter Jackson's Braindead with blood and guts flying all over - it makes DOOM look like a kiddie game. The environments look breathtaking and nail the WARHAMMER grittiness. Also, the enemy design is quite good with a good variety of ratmen and well more ratmen and then even more ratmen. OK, there are also chaos troopers, but the main focus is ratmen (Skaven).
    The sound and music are really good, too. swords or hammers striking armor actually sounding like it rather than someone beating a trash can with a stick, but what steals the show is the voice acting: my favorites are Tim Bentinck as the witch hunter and Alix Wilton Regan as the elven ranger.
    WARHAMMER: VERMINTIDE 2 is not a typical RPG in the style of SKYRIM. Think of it as skirmishes in the style of the WARHAMMER board games: you start a mission that has a clear objective. The map is NOT open world, they are maze-like and areas are blocked off, which is not always done in the best way, but open world would not have worked here. (You still can get lost and exploration is definitely possible and rewarded). It plays like LEFT 4 DEAD but with medieval weapons, and I personally prefer VERMINTIDE 2 to any of the LEFT FOR DEAD games.
    Character customization is limited but it's there: said 3 sub-classes per character, then there are Talents, 3 of which are unlocked every 5 levels up to level 30. Per tier only one may be active at any given time.    … Expand

    This is one of the rare few games that I've played for hundreds of hours, complained A LOT about how the devs could do better, but play for another few hundred hours. The maps are great, music, CHARACTER VOICES, enemies, specials.. everything is so canon and true to the Warhammer fantasy setting.

    The combat feels weighty and the different career types, weapon selections and team compositions give a lot of replay ability and fun to the game. The story definitely does fall a little by the wayside, which is a shame as the game is taking place in a universe with so much detail and lore to fill the story.
    Overall it is a very solid game and a lot of fun, but definitely not perfect.

    Sérieusement, quoi reprocher à ce jeu ????? Un aspect répétitif ? Le principe c'est bien de faire et refaire les niveaux pour améliorer son skill, son personnage, son stuff.

    Quand j'en lis certains, je doute aussi très fortement sur votre re-jouabilité des niveaux. Effectivement les refaire en mode facile/normal à chaque fois, sans chercher les tomes et les grimoires, y'a pas beaucoup d'intérêt et c'est pas du tout ce à quoi vous pousse le jeu. Mais bon, quand on voit des mecs niveaux 35-40 faire du contre jeu d'équipe et mourir en 1v1 contre le moindre spécial, ça me choque pas.

    BREF !

    Le jeu est magnifique graphiquement. J'ai lu qu'il était "decent" voire "potable". Alors désolé si vous jouez habituellement à un jeu aussi réaliste que "the real life" mais je vois vraiment pas ce qu'il vous faut. C'est cracher dans la soupe à tous les niveaux.

    Concernant la DA, c'est absolument parfait. Les décors sont magnifiques, les monstres flippant (et me dites pas que vous chieriez pas dans vos frocs devant un adepte de Nurgl !).

    La bande son est vraiment prenante et renforce l'immersion au maximum. Quand vous entendez les tambours, vous savez que les problèmes arrivent.

    J'ai vu des plaintes sur des game crash etc. Soyons clair, j'ai pas une bête de course niveau PC. J'ai absolument 0 freez, crash, bug etc. Le jeu est hyper bien optimisé et si vous rencontrez un problème, regardez plutôt vos specs avant de le reprocher au jeu.

    Le gameplay est relativement identique au premier opus. Donc si on était une brutasse sur le premier, on reste pas dégueu sur le 2 ce qui est cool. L'utilisation des compétences spéciales sur chaque perso rafraîchit le jeu.
    Mais surtout, le lobby. Quel jeu se paye le luxe de vous fournir autre chose qu'un menu bête et méchant ? Vermintide vous plonge dans une forteresse super classe, très grande, qu'on prend plaisir à visiter & améliorer. Mais surtout qui nous permet d'accéder à tous les menus d'amélioration, craft, objectifs etc.

    Je pourrais continuer des heures à vous dire à quel point ce jeu est énorme. Ce qui est sûr c'est que si un left 4 dead 3 sort un jour, il aura un sacré concurrent à détrôner parce que pour moi il est clair que ça surpasse left 4 dead en tout point.
    Parce que perso, je ne regrette pas du tout le joueur vs joueur. Qui était blindé de tricheur, de rageux et dont l'équilibrage était pas toujours au beau fixe suivant les niveaux.

    Foncez sur ce jeu !!!    … Expand

    Very fun game, Left 4 Dead like, except here the melee weapon is the primary weapon and the secondary weapon a firearm of some sort. You also have special abilities, talents, a crafting system. Overall it's a very fun and challenging experience. I'm loving it!

    Os gráficos são lindos, a física funciona bem, e mesmo com tanto inimigo vindo em sua direção, você sente que realmente está acertando-os, se tornando muito satisfatório.
    O background da historia é legal, a ambientação faz jus e os personagens, em suma maioria, são interessantes e gostosos de se jogar. Os bosses são chatos - de uma forma boa - e exigem uma coordenação por parte dos jogadores, principalmente em dificuldades elevadas. E falando em dificuldade... E jogo tem, como dificuldade minima, o normal. Pra quem já entende do jogo, ela se torna um pouco entediante por ser de fácil dominância, mesmo jogando com 2 bots no time. Mas quando vamos pro difícil, a coisa muda... Mais inimigos, com mais dano e mais vida; munição e poções escarças e teen play agora é mais necessário do que nunca - do jeito que o jogo deveria ser.

    Pra quem gosta do gênero, tá recomendadíssimo, e caso não tenha familiaridade com o mesmo, vale arriscar - principalmente pra jogar com amigos.    … Expand

    If I were to compare Vermintide II to other titles, I would choose Left 4 Dead and Diablo, with Dark Messiah of Might and Magic coming in a close third place due to how combat feels. The game will eventually wear you down with its repetitiveness, because replaying scenarios is embedded in its design, but before it happens you’ll spend dozens of fun hours with it. [05/2018, p.42]

    Vermintide 2 evolved far beyond a Left 4 Dead imitation. Using familiar concepts, Fatshark lovingly crafted one of the best cooperative action games in recent years.
