    We’ve enjoyed playing this game for hours. It takes the formula from the original game and does something that feels fresh, improving mechanics that were once a bit tedious and adding new ones. Turning the game into a roguelike was a great decision, it makes each playthrough feel unique, as you get different items and the characters have varied personalities and relationships with one another. It’s a worthy sequel to the original Darkest Dungeon, though it’s somewhat marred by the first few hours of gameplay.

    Darkest Dungeon II is a hardcore game that offers a unique roguelike experience. It’s important that fans of the first temper their expectations going into the second, because it is vastly different, and expecting more of the same will only set those individuals up for disappointment.

    I have said many times that I am not a big fan of these roguelite games, and while that remains true; I did enjoy all my time with Darkest Dungeon II much like I did the original. The first few runs are going to feel absolutely unfair as players will fall long before reaching the boss of an area. But there is something to be said of finally figuring out the perfect team and finding success in the ashes of defeat. I do wish this game had a campfire or some sort of checkpoint system because its not a great feeling to be hours into a run and have to start ALL over because of a small oversight. But even with these small issues I still couldn’t stop thinking about new strategies to help my heroes find success in this dark and gothic world. This is a dangerous journey, but it’s one worth taking.
