    a potentially awesome game ruined by zerg rushes and mechanics that are more self destructive than helpful. awesome premise and controls ruined by exaggerated consequences to the player and not to the enemies.

    Single player 0 over 5
    Multiplayer 4 over 5.
    Game does not offer something special but shallow hack and slash fun during multiplayer. For single player, well there is simply nothing for interest

    Sony, what possessed you to give us this garbage for free this month? Awful isometric 90's style PC game. I cant even play it for even one go. The trailer alone put me off.

    If I had a physical copy I would smash it. But I don't, and even for free on ps+ I feel I need a refund because you may has well given us a digital picture of a dog turd this month!

    Epic fail of a game.

    The single-player mode of Magicka 2 is fun... for a while. Then it gets impossibly hard as if it was on MP difficulty without the MP. The monster hordes give you close to no time for creative casting, and when you respawn, you're likely to be put into their midst with almost no time to revive your sprite (can't use the single-press D-pad cast because it's on cooldown after respawn).

And if you die before you do, it's back to the checkpoint. Even using the 2-combo revive spell by casting is problematic at times because it relies on lightning, so if you're wet, you die. And any level with water makes it possible that you might respawn there.

    There's no difficulty setting less than "Normal", so if you plan on playing solo mostly, you should reconsider.    … Expand

    This is probably the hardest dungeonbasher i have ever played. Its full of humor for adults wich probably is very entertaining if you dont have any grip of reality. If you like spellcasting so much you can live with this it might be bearable, but for me the difficulty together with the "he he" makes me want to throw the game through the window.

    This game was literally unplayable, every time I tried to make or join a game, the game would crash. I attempted to give it a chance, I tried 5 times to play, every single one, a crash. I don't know how anyone got this garbage to work, but I already gave up on it so I don't care.

    If you liked the original game, you'll also enjoy Magicka 2. Without much improvement, this sequel is much more fun in co-op.

    Nobody is shooting for the moon here, just aiming to give the fans more of what they enjoyed. [Issue#163, p.110]

    The pad controls are something of a compromise, but a good one for the most part. [Aug 2015, p.90]
