I've been playing Spelunky 2 pretty consistently since its launch a couple weeks ago. Put in near 20 hours I would say.
And the short of it is: its fucking great. It's a fantastic sequel to the first game.
They didn't have to do much to win me over honestly. I loved the gameplay loop of the first Spelunky so much, and it introduced me to one of my favorite genres of games: rouge-likes. So when the second was announced, I knew I would be happy with more of the same, just with new stuff added. And Spelunky 2 delivers on this in droves. A pile of new levels, branching paths, enemies, items, weapons, etc. It's so good. It's so hard too, even as a veteran im not consistently getting very far through the game. The new caves area called the Dwelling can really kick your shit in quick if you are not focusing. Almost every death is telling you that you cannot drop your guard for a second.
Currently playing on PS4, but its also out on PC. There is cross play multiplayer to come out in a couple weeks too. So if you like rouge-likes and Spelunky 1, then pick up this game for sure and jam with me online.
