    Played this game only cause it was free on ps plus and only 2 player coop. It was amazing and fun. haven't laughed playing a game for a long time. It wasn't long thought which I don't mind because it was free but there are dlcs out.

    Anyone, who doesn't like this game is a human-being I can't understand. Fun, old style game with new magic dynamics that rely on the combination of different elements. For me, it is a blast. Thanks, Sony, for giving such a nice game for free. I can't stop playing when I get my hands on it once. And I didn't even try the multiplayer yet, which I'm sure will be double-fun.

    If you only liked first magicka it would be absollutelly best thing you ever played . Its something like skyrim but WITHOUT vampires (rly). Good on PC , but still better on PS4. 10/10

    This game is a masterpiece, when playing singleplayer, the game is VERY difficult and punishing, so people who like a real challenge will enjoy that. However, when playing with up to 3 fellow wizards, the game becomes very chaotic and fun, you look to one of your friends and he's burning a bunch of enemies, you look to the other one, and he's being brutally massacred by a group of orcs,This game is a masterpiece, when playing singleplayer, the game is VERY difficult and punishing, so people who like a real challenge will enjoy that.

    I played solo and had a great time, though I'm sure it's much better if you play with friends.
    + Great gameplay. Different and clever types of enemies.
    + Great challenge! Those saying it's crazy hard, I disagree, you just have to figure out new stuff and the game puts you in those situations. For example, if you are wet, you can self cast fire and you are back to normal. Another one, It    I played solo and had a great time, though I'm sure it's much better if you play with friends.

    + Great challenge! Those saying it's crazy hard, I disagree, you just have to figure out new stuff and the game puts you in those situations. For example, if you are wet, you can self cast fire and you are back to normal. Another one, It took almost half of the story progression for me to figure out I could self cast a water shield so I would not get wet when it was raining and then I could cast thunder without problem. These are just examples, but be sure to explore the possibilities, the game rewards you!

    Cons
    -The story is mediocre
    -Some mechanics can be very frustrating and you can end up dying in a very silly way and starting all over a difficult encounter.

    *This isn't either a pro or a con: don't expect RPG elements, there is no leveling or progression whatsoever. Just the "Magickas" that are a few and you unlock them as the story progresses, but that's it. To me it simplifies the game, specially since the spell system is quite deep already. If you enjoy games like diablo I'd totally recommend it, specailly on sale.    … Expand

    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]
