Nov 11, 2020I'm an not a hardcore gamer, that's true but i would really like to love Spelunky 2. It reminds me of Ricky Dangerous back the old days of Amiga. Anyway, it is very difficult and it annoys me the fact that you cannot save your progress and you have to go back to the start even you somehow reached 2nd, 3rd stage or further in the game. You will want eventually to use hacks to go on....

Sep 17, 2020Utterly beautiful in the classiest way and impeccable game design to the minutest detail by Derek Yu. The game to top in the next decade.

Sep 17, 2020Just fantastic. Feels like the first but with even tighter controls, sharper graphics and amazing sound.
More danger, more companions to find and tons of secrets to discover. If you liked the first game, you will love this even more, WOW. -
Sep 16, 2020Just what the doctor ordered. I'm only about 5 hours into it, but I'm having a blast. I loved the first one and I think they changed it just enough to make everything feel fresh and dangerous again while still retaining everything that really made it shine.

Nov 20, 2020Spelunky 2 is the perfect metaphor for life. Keep on digging, be persistent, stay vigilant, and you'll be rewarded. There are deep truths embedded within. It just so happens to be an amazing game too. Keep spelunking people, don't give up

Sep 29, 2020It's good, certainly, but the first area is very similar to Spelunky, except much more difficult. This makes the early game feel redundant and exhausting. I think I played the original Spelunky too much to really enjoy this. I'll change this review if I make it to the later areas, but frankly I don't think I ever will.

Sep 22, 2020I have waited so long for this game to come out and it was well worth the wait. This game expands on what I enjoyed about the original and seems to be packed with hidden secrets. I have always thought spelunky was a little niche, but for those who enjoy indie/rougelikes this game is truly awesome.

Oct 14, 2020A 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.
-
Sep 27, 2020I played the original quite a lot back in the day so it's good to see it get a sequel. I'd say it's almost perfect. To me, this is one of the few games where I think that the difficulty makes it more fun. I would definitely recommend it to beginners and veteran players.

The story is also hard to understand. -

Nov 22, 2020As fan of retro style games this one is a gem. Easy to pick up and put down without needing to invest tons of time into it. Its a rouge-like where every run is a new discovery. Very difficult but very rewarding when you get further then before. Overall worth a full price purchase on any platform.

Sep 20, 2020It's a real game (like Dark Souls, and Bloodborne, Breath of the Wild, and Gran Turismo Sport), it's a rewarding challenge, but also a piece of astonishing craftsmanship. A marble.

Playstation Official Magazine UKNov 15, 2020A worthy sequel to an indie pioneer that delivers countless surprises in a refined package. Not for the easily frustrated, perhaps, but essential for everyone else. [Issue#181, p.87]

Nov 4, 2020Spelunky 2 is a divisive game. A masterpiece for those who swear by the reward at the end of their suffering, it will be painful and boring for those who want a fulfilling and contemporary experience. Even more difficult than the first game, it is undoubtedly frustrating because of its lack of pedagogy and progressiveness. Even for a game that wants to be difficult, the shock will be rough from the beginning.

Oct 14, 2020Spelunky 2 takes the baton from Spelunky 1 and hits its stride immediately. Jumping into the caverns, whipping bats, chucking rocks, and smashing pots is just as fun and challenging 8 years later. Mossmouth has kept true to its original vision in a way that will satisfy fans, but packaged enough new content to ensure things don't feel like a rehash. As a result, Spelunky 2 isn't attempting to convert any who weren't fans of the first game. The game has a very specific approach and will not be for everyone, but those who adored the first game are guaranteed to feel the same about its sequel. At a time when gamers are less inclined to take risks with their purchases, Spelunky 2 offers the comfort of the familiar.
