    Warhammer Vermintide 2 doesn't just reinvigorate the template that Left 4 Dead established all those years ago, instead it stabs, sets it aflame and proceeds to kick it through the nearest wall. This is one of the best co-op games available and toweringly fine way to close out 2018.

    Vermintide 2 is probably the best co-op multiplayer fantasy action game I have ever played. The systems have depth, the visuals are good, and it feels like the writers and level designers actually care about their product. Now all it needs is some more players to partake in the adventure.

    We had to wait a little bit to see Warhammer: Vermintide 2 on PS4, but it was worth it. Fatshark's co-op action game is frantic and compelling as always thanks to many new enemies, huge maps with some interesting design choices and a solid progression.

    Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is a precious title who aims for a specific type of gamers, those who are ready to sacrifice everything in order to just have fun with their friends, and that fun factor is exactly the reason why you wouldn't care about the game's problems that much.

    An excellent coop game that mostly excels in coop only because the single player experience forces you to fall back on less than helpful AI. The engine overall is outdated a bit but the progression system, the challenging opponents and the great gameplay provide plenty of entertainment value. Recommended.

    With just 13 (visually interesting and welldesigned) levels, the long-term appeal lies in loot grinding; earning chests for better weapons and accessories, while levelling up each character individually. Otherwise, it’ll only last you about five hours. Bot AI and server activity can support this approach, though whether your tolerance for playing the same levels again and again can is another matter.

Much better than a few triple A games that claim to be a full co-op experience, then fall short. However, I wish they had made an actual 4 player co-op campaign. With a story to absorb us into the wonderful world of the Warhammer universe. This game is just multiple map modes, where you go through the map, killing enemies, then move to the next map. Then go back and redo the same maps to grind out levels, with no story to keep you absorbed. But the gameplay is great.
    Due to the lack of story, it can get boring fairly quickly. It's awfully grindy, so that's another bad thing.

    One great thing, is the Twitch Stream mode. As I stream on Twitch.com/JesterTRT this is a great function that more games need!
    It allows the viewers to interact and change what we fight. This function needs more work, and needs to be edited slightly. More added to it. Such as setting up so streamers gain coins in stream by chatting. After obtaining so many coins, they can have a list of a dozen good, and a dozen bad. And they choose what happens by spending their coin. The more coins they earn, they can send a large boss. Or get a few coins and send a small horde. Or gain coins and send us a health pack.
    Overall, it's an awesome function, regardless.    … Expand

Why isn´tThe worst feeling is when you almost continued a Chaos Waste Run on a high difficulty and then an Error appears and you get NOTHING! Why isn´t there a feature which always allow reconnects, sometimes it does but sometimes you just waste 50 minutes or more for nothing.

    The game in general is not bad and i like Warhammer. It can be a lot of fun but the disconnects/crashes destroys it. Without that i would give it an 8.    … Expand

    It gets boring, hard, and repetitive quickly, the melee combat sucks
    Just play ranged, and at least skill based shots feel a bit more interesting
    Champion and above difficulties are extremely unfair, for terrible rewards.
    It feels like a slog, its amazing for what it is, but that loot box grind mechanic is awful
    The devs have great potential, but its just lacking in depth, and variety
    Left 4 dead 2 is way better, but its still fun, and i bought 3 ultimate editions to play with my brothers

    Requires D r M, so thats a huge negative, you always have to be onilne
    that kills the heart of the game. pass on it    … Expand
