Warhammer: Vermintide 2 Review (Gary-the metrosexual fruitcake)
Well, I guess it's fun for a few hrs.

Jokes aside, honeslty one of the best coop experience I've ever come across.
A (most of the time) wholesome and helping community, I've met some new friends there, with which I also play other games or just talk in general.
Well crafted combat-system with a high skill-ceiling going to higher difficulties.
Good variety of melee and ranged weapons, as well as build variety on every character-class (5 characters with 3 classes each), though some builds just being stronger though than others.(if you care about meta stuff that is)
Lots of story-missions, Chaos Wastes a fun Rogue-like game-mode and a few DLC missions (some paid, some as free updates) which hold some secrets for you to find. (and one, where you play drunk and need to keep drinking, honestly one of the most fun missions ever made)
Negatives are:
Highest difficulty Cataclysm (was added later after release) is behind paywall together with another game-mode, the Weaves.
Paid DLC for some of the best weapons in the game, not to say the base-game weapons are bad, those DLC ones are just better in many situations.
And a 4th class for every character (also added later after release), which is behind a paywall, some being a bit overpowered in comparison to the base-game ones.
As a finishing note I'd like to mention one of the strongest argument for this game, the Characters. The dialog of the characters and their interactions in hub-area or on missions between each other (even different depending on your class) is probably the greatest aspect of this game. So much passion and talent was put in to this, delivering most memorable voices to those characters. They will very likely grow on you over time, developing favorites and saying their voice-lines along side them.
So yeah for me personally a 10/10, but considering the negatives more of a 7 or 8... so I will meet you at the middle and give this a 8.5/10.
