DO NOT BUY Darkest Dungeon 2 - Disappointing Game
Space play/pause · J/L seek 10s · [ ] previous/next
Summary
After four hours, he found Darkest Dungeon 2 spent roughly 75% of playtime steering a stagecoach, making progression boring. He disliked losing Hamlet recruitment and upgrades, one-hero-per-class parties, inability to replace fallen heroes, and restarting Denial at least four times. He rejected the 3D redesign’s reduced cartoon charm, calling the game an inferior add-on and rating it 4.5/10.
Insight
His enthusiasm again collapses quickly when novelty and progression fail to sustain engagement.
