    Spelunky 2 is a wonderful, albeit flawed game design-wise, with brutal difficulty, often funny deaths, and TONS of replayability and secrets to find.
    The music is very fitting for each area, collecting gold is addictive and the enemies/traps tend to create very interesting situations you have to think your way out of.

    If you're a fan of spelunky 1, you'll likely be a fan of spelunky 2. Same concise design, same imaginative artstyle, a fine (if slightly bland) soundtrack and moderate difficulty will encourage replays in true roguelite fashion. Minor difficulty inconsistencies at launch have been corrected, and as it stands it has set the bar for games of it's type, much like it's predecessor.

The game has several new areas, a new secret path, and lots of new enemies. The frequent complaint that its too similar to the first game is definitely true. I don't view this as a negative because I love the first game enough that I don't mind, and I also believe that it would require changing something that is core to the charm of Spelunky to make it an entirely fresh experience.

    This part is not a critique but just a comparison for people interested in this game or in Spelunky HD.

    Spelunky 2 is more difficult compared to Spelunky HD for sure. The secret ending(s) are also significantly more challenging to get to. Spelunky 2 has more content overall, but ultimately less interesting level generation. Spelunky HD has several level generation events that have a random chance to occur. These events are present in the 2nd game but much less common or interesting. The events in the first game are much harder than a normal level, sometimes even unfair, but that is part of what makes Spelunky HD great. Dying in a funny or interesting way isn't a big deal because the game is short enough to beat in half an hour. That doesn't make subsequent playthroughs any less interesting because of these level modifiers. In short: The 2nd game is harder but is more consistent and fair in its rules, it also has more variety in enemies, areas, items. Spelunky HD is easier but relies more on RNG but as long as you can laugh off your mistakes it benefits because of it.    … Expand

    A shining example of how a sequel can improve on the original in every possible way. With its silky smooth controls, charming visuals and music, endless secrets & discoveries and rewarding, skill-based gameplay, Spelunky 2 is a true delight. Probably the best rogue-like platformer ever made.

    - it's, unfortunately, an epitome of the old saying: "if life gives you lemons, it really doesn't matter, as you will get blasted from the other side of the room with no way of predicting that". Some say it's just high and demanding difficulty level, some say it's what makes this game compelling, others that this is just unfair design choice. One thing is sure, some more visibility on the hazards would be nice, the game's still challenging without it.
    - The Olmec fight. It's definitely too long for the pace that this game has. I don't see any reason not to change it completely.

Perhaps this review got your back.

    Spelunky 2 still got the same core game mechanics as the first game but with a lot more features, and it is also a lot harder! In Spelunky 2 you follow the old characters footsteps all the way to a cave on the moon:

    Every time you start the game you will get a randomly generated and challenging map, keeping the game fresh and new for every playthrough.
    When you've completed about 4 stages you enter the next world/area. If you die you have to start over.

    Every stage got a 3 minute timer before a deadly ghost spawns to chase and kill you, so you have to think about your decisions.
    When spelunking you will find a lot different enemies, traps, treasures, weapons, power-ups, pets to rescue which gives HP and secrets.
    Gold you gather can be used in shops you find, or be kept for the high score.

    The game has a bunch of achievements: speedrun, no gold run, pacifist run and a few hidden ones too. Can be played 4 players: split-screen and online co-op, deathmatch, daily run and unlockable characters.
    Also unlockable shortcuts so you can jump to later areas.

    This is a true challenge only for the worthy. Get it if you like really hard platformers.    … Expand

Unlike other rogue likes where you will be able to finish 9 out of 10 runs, in this you'll finish probably 1 out of 10 runs even if you're crazy good at it. BUT the thing is, it's perfect for Spelunky because the game moves QUICK. A start to end in the game is 20-30 minutes if you're not doing the secrets and is intense AS **** Finally finishing a 30 min run is probably the most concentrated quality of purely gameplay you're gonna get. This is my "pick up and play game" where I just boot it up when I don't have much time to play more campaign kind of games and just want to have a quick round or so. This is perfect for that and a very well designed game. I do think the music was better in the original though, and they should've kept the default run at 4 levels itself.

There is so much variety in the gameplay, even better with all the alternate routes (not just jungle and volcana, temple and tidepool) with choosing to go for true ending, choosing to go shopkeeper-genocide or forgiveness, true crown, eggplant and all the NPC questlines in every run.

BTW I will be going into small spoilers in this game but not large enough to mark as spoiler

    I have played all games in order and fallen in love with classic and HD. This is mostly likely why I, unlike other reviewers are fine with the scale in difficulty as I have done everything in both games and enjoy the new challenge of Spelunky 2.

    Movement/enemies/items:
    The movement translates perfectly from HD to 2 as I went back to HD recently and it felt great. The enemies move the same as last game and any new monsters fit in perfectly amongst everything else even if they can be very annoying from time to time. Some items such as the cape, climbing gloves and jetpack had changes from the original games which was for the best. The inclusion of every new item was executed perfectly and they all fit in perfectly.

    Shops:
    The main part of shops are the keepers and these were balanced out nicely. Shop keeper movement is slower and more predictable but they can now climb ladders which adds another dimension of shop keeper combat through out the game. This new AI applies to every NPC in the game so strategies are transferable. The explosive items in shops force the play to plan their attack instead of just mindless murder of shop keepers in the previous games. The varying layouts of basements and attics in shops are a nice addition.

    Background levels:
    The addition of the background levels was very well executed as many secrets and bonus items are behind the main level. This adds more options for the player to get items that were more scarce in Spelunky HD. These items are mainly bombs and the change is very noticeable as I have never, in my 1000+ runs of Spelunky 2, run out of bombs when trying to get to the black market or back ground levels in general. This change is very nice as many of my HD runs have been cut short due to lack of bombs.

    Branching Paths/Multiple Endings:
    The Branching levels add nice alternatives if you are sick of one side and also add a tactical choice when going into world 2 and 4. Examples would be if you are lacking in bombs, the black market would be a good choice, if you didn't have movement, Vlad's cape is a good choice in Volcania. This is better than HD and Classic with only one path but HD has 2 bosses unlike Classic. Others can be said about the Temple or the Tide Pools. The multiple endings allow for newer players to set goals and slowly make their way to the large endings. Getting a shortcut, learning how to fight certain areas or bosses(Wont talk about as they are major spoilers) are all carry over from HD but well implemented into Spelunky 2.

    Overall this game is a full 10/10 and a great improvement of HD and Classic. The reason why I'm talking about Spelunky Classic so much is because I recommend you play the games in order starting from Classic. Spelunky Classic is the easiest game and a good starting block to get into the other games. Both HD and Classic get you used to the perma death mechanic but being fully dedicated to the games you need some dedication. Overall you need some dedication to play this game but its well worth as winning is very satisfying.    … Expand

    An improved version of Spelunky for the most part. Really though it acts as a shakeup to the original with a more pleasant art style and a litany of new mechanics. If you enjoy Spelunky you'll enjoy this. I will say though that it feels like a lot more could have been added to this sequel. Mods to the game add to the game, but it feels unfair to include that as a part of my rating.

    Blitworks took the best from 8-bit platformers (Rick Dangerous! Montezuma’s Revenge!), evolved it greatly, and wrapped it up in visuals worthy of 2020. The result is amazing but be aware that you’ll be dying over and over and over again, because part of the game’s retro heritage is its frustrating difficulty level. Other than that, I have absolutely no complaints and place Spelunky 2 among my top 10 games of the year. [12/2020, p.46]

    If you loved the original, you’re going to love Spelunky 2, and find it equal to its predecessor in all ways except one- where the original was a trail blazer, the new game seems content to, much like it asks of its players, simply plumb into familiar depths.

    Spelunky 2 takes the ridiculously polished foundation from the first game and blows it out with new content, mystifying secrets, and big-time cave mole jerks.
