Darkest Dungeon 2 is the sequel to the brutally difficult game about dungeon delving with your parties. The sequel follows a similar theme but with some significant differences that we cover in this gameplay review.

What is a "Review"? They are for games that I have partially completed but have a good enough grasp of the gameplay to comment on it. All opinion and footage is the author's.

==============================================

00:00 - Foreword
00:28 - Brief overview of gameplay
01:21 - Classes vs Characters
This is a key difference between DD1 and DD2

02:00 - Reducing the grind
A lot of the mechanics in DD2 seem to be aimed at reducing the grind ..

03:19 - Shifting the grind
.. But they didn't take it far enough.

04:38 - A perception problem
The total grind *is* reduced compared to DD1. But people perceived it to be *worse* in DD2.

05:44 - Lack of permanency
Many players are fine with grinding, but there must be a reward for that.

10:01 - Alternate approaches
Addressing that lack permanency would do much to keep players emotionally engaged with the game. An example would be keeping your parties across confessions.

11:52 - Final words
