Gameplay

39 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Though a lot more frustrating than its predecessor, Spelunky 2 remains a standout sequel that expands the franchise's world, mechanics and overall replayability by adding in tons of new content, quality of life changes, tighter controls and integrated online multiplayer.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Co-op is fun with friends too (can be frustrating with friendly fire, but honestly I think it should be taken as light fun than anything serious).
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If playing solo was hard, in multiplayer it is borderline impossible, but once again, I have to say there is just something fun about fighting an uphill battle in a team.
