Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
125 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay got improved a lot, lots of QOL improvements, like the 2 weapon selections, not a huge fan of the skill system, but it works, you can create your own party (which you should 100% do, IYKYK), classes and races is pretty cool, but seems theres already a set meta of combinations, so that kinda renders that useless in a way
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
99 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I focused on firearms but vanilla firearms suck, throwing weapons are superior.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
52 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There's much less reliance on dancing around enemies to stay out of harm's way, facing-off is far more feasible this time (on normal difficulty at least!) due to better character balance, progression, and smarter use of character traits.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
51 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If you like dungeon crawlers with good story and puzzle elements, you should have a good time.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
42 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Legends of Grimrock 2 is a Dungeon Crawler with real-time combat, lots of riddles and secrets, magic and potions, all wrapped up in gorgeous graphics.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Now it's a perfect balance of needing to have good character-stats, a good strategy, and needing to know/learn each monster's behaviors.
