    Defense Grid 2 is a good solid tower defense game. However, it offers a little improvement from Defense Grid 1 .

    Let's see pros and cons Pros - Still Good addicted tower defense game. Probably the best tower defense game in market (if not DG1) - Tower upgraded cards (new in DG2), add huge replayability of the game. - Cooldown skills (new in DG2) - Though I personally don't like    Defense Grid 2 is a good solid tower defense game. However, it offers a little improvement from Defense Grid 1 .

    Let's see pros and cons

    Pros
    - Still Good addicted tower defense game. Probably the best tower defense game in market (if not DG1)
    - Tower upgraded cards (new in DG2), add huge replayability of the game.
    - Cooldown skills (new in DG2) - Though I personally don't like this feature.
    - Boost (new) - allow designated tower to be able to fire from higher ground

    Cons
    - Outdated graphic ( I don't see any significant improvement from DG1 to DG2)
    - Tower Imbalance [ Concussion is clearly superior to Inferno, and Disruptor makes Tesla obsoleted]
    - Still very few towers and same number to DG1
    - Leaderboard cannot sort difficulties
    - Uninteresting story
    - Removing of air enemies (why ?)

    In brief, DG2 is still a fun tower defense game, but for those who have play DG1, you may be disappointed because DG2 is feel more like an expansion of DG1, rather than fresh new game. For new comers, I suggest you buy DG1 Awakening first in PC, the price is very cheap and difficulty is friendly to new comers (DG2 is a bit spike). If you like DG1 and urge for more, then DG2, but don't have high hope.    … Expand

    Tower wars, reminds me of warcraft 3 custom games mode. It's a really fun game to play, it seems to be laggy on the ps4 as during later levels the fps really drop below anything acceptable. Really short game, but it's fun.

    With its massive amount of modes and options its content is worth the asking price.

    An enjoyable but traditional outing capable of short-term thrills, which is just enough for some. [Dec 2014, p.87]

    Defense Grid 2 is an enjoyable return to Hidden Path’s dystopian future, though whilst the sequel features a number of improvements some key features of the original, in particular the engaging story, have been lost along the way.
