    How to Survive 2 is a much improved sequel, featuring some beautifully looking environments. There are plenty of upgrades for you and your haul, and you’ll lose yourself in the menus if you’re not careful. The music is wonderful at times and it makes tense moments even worse, even if it does remind you of the opening theme song of The Walking Dead. Whether you’re playing with friends, strangers or on your own, How to Survive 2 offers an authentic survival experience that has plenty of replayability.

    How To Survive 2 is an enjoyable experience in its mix of genres and aspirations, but if you're not used to co-op experiences do not expect great emotions.

    How to Survive 2 expands on the ideas of its predecessor with mixed results. On one hand, its enlarged scope and addition of base building adds longevity to the experience but on the other, its missions frequently feel monotonous and grindy.

    How to Survive 2 is a watered-down survival, and that's not necessarily a bad thing; it also means that the game will please mostly someone who approaches to the genre for the first time. The gameplay is a little shallow and repetitive, but the coop mode can put a Band-Aid on things.

    How to Survive 2 is a game that delivers on its promise. Without too much technical bragging, it manages to entertain and provides us with hours of zombie attacks. In cooperative much better than alone.

    It tries to ride the coattails of the previous title, but stands wobbly on its own two feet.

    All in all a fun game and time burner. Don't expect too much and you'll be pleasantly surprised. I'm a big fan of couch co op games and for the price (it's super cheap on the PS Store right now) and with a friend this a pleasant experience.

    I'm rating it a 10 since I got it for less than 5 bucks and it's a great little game for that or more, with decent depth and some fun combat/crafting.    … Expand

However, there´s a lot of things that it is worst than the first title. The thirst, food and rest it is not a problem anymore, taking out the survival element. This second title has more action. It is more arcade-like. It is still a good game, but I suggest to play the first one instead.… Expand

Mouse Pointer Control on PS4 when opening menus sucks. I like the 1st one when it comes to control and menus. I would give it an 8 if not for that. Gameplay and graphics are great though. I just hate the idea of this game not being an open world like the first one. It's like it's half open world and half dungeon based game. But still, I love this game. It has a good couch co-op. Me and my Wife are having a great time playing this together. Never tried the online though. :D… Expand

It is terrible. We quit after it turned out that the game have you to grind every quest 2 or 3 times in order to reach the level req. of the next one. And those quests are in of itselfs just the worst kind of boring "kill this **** a cauple of times". This game is just a lazy re-working ( mostly downgrading ) of the first version.… Expand
