Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The new graphics are gorgeous, from the backgrounds to the menus themselves there is some really good work her and I like the grotesque look, I think the characters themselves are hideous though and would rather have had soemthing a bit simpler, a bit less stylised.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
With its distinctive art style, refined gameplay mechanics, and engaging multiplayer mode, Nidhogg 2 delivers a fun and frenetic experience that stands out in the realm of competitive games.
42 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
I think the game's biggest strengths are in the multiplayer, but the fact that the FPS dips, the long wait times, and lacklustre design, it all leads to just a frustrating experience.

It's way more enjoyable to play this with a game controller, so invest in one.
