Derek Yu, BlitWorks, and the rest of the team behind it have assembled a game that adds to what made Spelunky great without trending toward bloat or changing too much of the essentials. Spelunky 2 is a treasure in every way, one you'll be glad you've discovered. It’s yet another chance to play Spelunky with fresh eyes everything is just a little different, another stroke that proves perfection is imperfect. There are perhaps far fewer better ways to close out a console generation than this. PlayStation Universe - John-Paul Jones - 10 / 10Ī thunderous sequel that surpasses its already incredible predecessor in every way that counts, Spelunky 2 is the ultimate roguelike and ruthlessly inventive platformer that never stops surprising and delighting those who pick up the controller. Spelunky 2 is a masterpiece of procedurally generated platforming that stays true to the legendarily challenging original while also holding surprises around every corner. No matter how many times I yelled in frustration, I couldn't wait to jump right back into the ever-shifting caves

Either way, it sucked me back in.Ī legendary game gets a legendary sequel. But it innovates ever so slightly in so many ways to help give this sequel its own life. It doesn't wildly reinvent the formula, and even brings back a lot of the same hazards and enemies that tormented you the first time around. Newcomers might be scared away by the difficulty and seemingly impenetrable secrets, but the effort to get through this is well rewarded. In that way it's the perfect sequel for fans who have been playing this game for over a decade. Spelunky 2 enhances and expands on what worked in the first game without 'fixing' anything that wasn't broken.
