A video game with a deep and well-written story.
A fascinating context that achieves the objective.
Difficult, yes, but so rewarding and complete in every choice.
The player has his hands in all the decisions.
A more refined, fluid, and improved play structure.

Review Darkest Dungeon 2 by Checkpoint Gaming
Combat is more strategic and enjoyable
Every failure leads to tangible progress that helps you in the future
Navigating the Stagecoach adds an additional level of high risk/reward
Failure isn't too punishing and death isn't permanent
Veterans of the previous game may struggle to adapt to the changes

Precise and entertaining combat system
Deeper at the narrative level
A fantastic atmosphere and remarkable artistic work
It offers a greater variety of situations.
Although more accessible than its predecessor, its difficulty can become a challenge.
The enormous amount of information is overwhelming at first.
Sometimes luck and RNG have too much weight in the battle.

Well-executed role-playing gameplay and mechanics.
Technically well done, with a unique dark graphic style all its own...
Many hours of guaranteed gameplay.
...but the optimization needs to be improved.
The Italian localization is poorly done.

The idea of the carriage as the main focal point is pleasant.
Interesting incipit...
Pleasantly brutal and horrific setting;
New captivating graphic design;
Available in Italian language.
but with a rather veiled plot;
Slow learning curve;
Not suitable for everyone.

Challenging and fun in equal parts, most of the time.
A lot of content to release.
Subtitled in Portuguese
Good variety of heroes, with skills and equipment.
The relationship system is not very cool.
Some points seem to have regressed compared to the old one.

Review Darkest Dungeon 2 by Vandal
The fights remain very fun and captivating.
The new dynamic of relationships between our heroes.
The number of difficult decisions and risks it forces us to take. Its graphical section.
The duration of each of our attempts may be excessive.
There is a need for a greater variety of events.
Less inviting to experimentation.

Review Darkest Dungeon 2 by GamingBolt
The jump from 2D to 3D is stunning, while the aesthetic remains as grotesquely detailed as ever
Excellent soundtrack and voice acting
New combat mechanics provide more agency without diminishing danger
Rogue-lite structure affords some interesting choice-based gameplay and resource management
Plenty of replay value thanks to unlocks
The structure, especially with its difficulty, makes replaying the same Acts repetitive at times
Some enemies feel like they need more tuning, especially when Ordained
Story starts interesting but grinds to a halt due to being drip-fed over runs
Lacks some of the original's charm
