Warhammer: Vermintide 2 Review (Potato)
Really recommended this game for you if and/or only...
- L4D2-style Gameplay.
- An FPS LOTR setting-like but on a darker toner.
- Good continuous content update (The game has been running for 4 years now).
- RPG setting.
Rest assured, my review does not have spoiler content
Let's get to the point. Vermintide 2 fun game-play is similar to Left 4 Dead but melee-focused with some magic and ranged weapons. I already have experience with L4D, Payday, WWZ, and KF1/2 so I felt right at home - Although with a different setting.
What I deeply appreciate with Vermintide 2, is the bigger emphasis on melee combat over ranged weapons as it's a bit more unique compared to the other horde-style games. The Elites/Specials (Specials in L4D) add some variance in the gameplay as you have to treat them differently than the trash mobs, for example. You have a ranged enemy that you can't reach far due to a melee weapon, so you may need to pull out your bow/gun or call out your range ally to clear the elite/s out.
There's a lot of melee and range variety that can offer everyone to use their play style available here; Crossbows hit harder but generally reloads slower, bows can fire quickly and accurately, single-shot pistols, rapid-fire repeaters, and any guns deliver great firepower but can attract the horde, etc~
There are 5 characters in-game, but each character has 4 classes (Called Careers). Which can cater as mentioned if you prefer to be more melee or range approach general play style.
Overall! Vermintide 2 is a beautiful dark game with hard-hitting melee/ranged weapons to choose from. Tons of fun play styles and customization options to discover. Additionally, you can also mod the game to support more than 4 players, all dwarves-run, etc.
