It's crack

Spelunky (the original) was a perfect game IMO, so when I saw the first trailer for this I was excited. Spelunky 2 is more of the same, it's a little tighter in some places, a little less tight in others (hitboxes for some enemies are a bit rubbish). This same-ness is ultimately disappointing and I can't see myself dumping the amount of time I did with the original on this one, Spelunky is a game of simple systems, it doesn't feature complicated movement or RPG systems it's just a hard as nails platformer.

There is so much the Dev's could've done with the concept of taking the original to the moon, they could've played with gravity (which would've incredible with the new liquid physics), or had you fighting your way up, left, right, in any direction. Instead we get the first game with a bit extra, Spelunky+, Spelunky 1.5.

It's not a sequel, but I still recommend.

This is a fantastic game. The most fun playing a game in a long time, the simple act of going to point A and getting rid a gunch of goons is infinetly more enjoyable than in and majority of AAA games. Gunplay feels better than any game in the Deus ex series, so unlike Human revolution it never feels like a chore to go into a level loud.

Intricate maze like level design is one of the big factors as to why gameplay is so good as even in the smallest of rooms you steel feel free to do what you want. This doesn't just apply to the main story either as each sidequest feels full and well thoughtout with interesting characters and difficult situations.

The game's story however falls flat, feeling like it is missing a prologue and an extra few chapters added to the end. Which is sad because Human revolution Felt like a self contained story, this just feels like an intro to a more interesting story. However I think that a lot of the ideas the game explores are complicated and it is probably the deepest plot your going to get in a AAA game.

Most of the reviews on here speak in hyperbole, it's a good game, a worthy sequel to what was one of the best games last generation.

I feel like a lot of reviews have been nagging on the technical short comings of this game alone rather than looking at the game as, you know a game.

To be honest, great gameplay. It takes what made Blood Money such a good game, and combines them with the parts that absolution did correctly to get the best gameplay in the series.

You'd have to be a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ to deny the fact that some very poor decisions went into this games technical side (locking off the texture options, always online) But you'd have to be equally retarded to deny the games fantastic gameplay. Ultimately if you honestly can't look past the technical decisions because you:

a) don't have a stable internet connection
b) are a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ from /v/
c)are just looking to get angry at something

then don't buy this game. However if you liked Blood money and/or Absolution (or you know good games in general) grab the intro pack at least.

It's Like Eve Online without simplified and without the Online, so nothing like Eve online.

A great game if you enjoy Turn Based Strategy gameplay and the stealth is well implemented.
