imageWarhammer: Vermintide 2 Review - A Sequel Done Right! - Not So MMO - MMORPG.com

Warhammer: Vermintide 2 succeeds in carrying over everything that was great about the first game while managing to push the genre forward in a fresh way. After spending several late nights hacking and slashing my way through hordes of ratmen and other evils I can honestly say that it's the most fun I’ve had in a co-op shooter in a long time. So grab that coffee, kick back and enjoy our review of Warhammer: Vermintide 2.

Read the full story here

    RPG(-like) without 3rd person mode = no go. Cannot roleplay a flying window with gloves.

    TBH this game is barely an improvement at all over the first one. This should have been a paid DLC, not an expansion. The new staging area, (tower) is worse than the inn in the first one. Same if not less RPG elements than in the first game also. Disappointed big time.

    Love this game and they seem to be committed by adding regular patches. Can't wait for the new maps, mod support and dedicated servers coming in the next 3 months.

    Played the first one a ton but was hoping for more classes/races. Warhammer is brimming with so many classes its insane !! Feels like such a waste

    I also wish 3rd person was an option in Vermintide 2 but i'm still having a lot of fun playing it.

    Awesome game, needs a few bugs ironing out but all in all great fun.
    All for the grand price of £20.

    My only complaint with the game so far is; while playing solo or in a private match with one of my friends I wish the bots would prioritize picking up a tome or grimoire over a health potion. Or I wish there was a way to command them to pick these items up even if it means giving up something else.

    To overcome this we had to intentionally down our selves so they could heal us and have room to pick up a tome.

    A game review without a link to the game's website? Awful.

    I get that feedback.  Doesn't seem like an awfully hard improvement to be able to command them to pick up something, honestly.  Seems a reasonable change.

    My only complaints are that I don't have a true Warrior Priest of Sigmar to play with.  Saltzpyre's flagellant career doesn't quite cut it!

    This game is a show case of how in games, less is more. Do not try to be everything to everyone, chose your angle and do that really well.

    I have not had this much fun running around and killing baddies since Dying Light.

    Very fun, much better than the first. Been putting in a couple hours after work every day, it's fun just slashing through packs of mobs and getting better gear, ect.

    Definitely Challenging and can be tricky to get all 3 tomes and 2 grims per scenario for the bonus exp. Nice Random stuff thrown at you at different spots as well. Very fun to play but does have a learning curve.

    Waiting for the summer sale to let them fix all the bugs people claim the game has.
  • ShaddyDaddyShaddyDaddy Member UncommonPosts: 193
    The game is pretty awesome! I've had a blast so far, for sure!

    I am interested in playing this with a few friends.

    Seems I am right to be interested in it

    no 3rd person camera again? so lazy



    Game is probably balanced around 1st person, would be too easy in 3rd to see mobs behind you.

    That has been part of the challenge for me. It's easy for mobs to get behind me. Like a real battle they try to flank me from behind.
    It absolutely is.  One of the loading screen tips even reads "Pro tip: Don't get surrounded."

    1st person works only for shooters imo. melee combat in 1st person is terrible, u cant see animations or anything. i guess 1st person is the laziest way to go nowadays since u dont have to work on the character and combat animations. hello kingdom come deliverance
    I'm pretty sure that there is nothing lazy about game designers. It's just a choice. Like/don't like it but designers seem to work exceptionally hard.

    To make the claim that the developers are lazy without knowledge of the game is just a bit silly and ignorant. It's a "4 player co-op game", of course there's combat animations for all classes as well as animations for 30+ different kinds of weapons including both ranged and melee. What do you think other players would be seeing? Just random floating weapons swinging through the air? The animations are very well done considering the different weapon types that require different handling. E.G there are different animations for the spear, glaive, 2h Sword, dual wielding swords or daggers, using a 1 hand sword and course the ranged weapons and that's just for the Waystalker. There's also fast attacks and heavy attacks that have their own sets of animations for weapons.

    Why not?



    well, shouldn't the question be why should we care that he has to see something to "play" it?
    rpg in first person is actually just way more rpg than 3rd person.

    i don't think he played PnP RPGs before, bc quite frankly, you don't even see your character's hands on paper, unless you draw em ^^

    or in short, i disagree. RPG ain't bound to certain views.

    uh, and for the first person melee part, you don't think it's working? lemme guess, you didn't play vermintide 1 OR 2, aight? :>
    this is EXACTLY why this game stands out so much, bc they made it work - like ace.

    and for the record, it worked in 1994 (check heretic or hexen if you don't know it), why shouldn't it work in 2018? ^^
