Critic Reviews
- Hammerwatch II’s graphics and world design are amazing, and the soundtrack fits super well into each area. The gameplay is still a little frustrating, though. And with the very real chance of losing all of your progress, I wouldn’t say it’s worth it. It’s sad to see such a well-designed game ruined by such fatal bugs.
KENNY MASSEY · Jan 26, 2024 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - For everything Hammerwatch II does well, there's a downside. In a series that is now a decade old, this is the worst game in it and it suffers from issues that the studio should have resolved long ago. Maybe it just isn't a good fit for consoles or maybe the developers technical skill doesn't match their ambition but whatever it is, we feel pretty let down by this one.
Richie · Dec 23, 2023 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - There are times Hammerwatch II can be a lot of fun. Exploring massive dungeons and taking down hordes of enemies is usually a good time, and Hammerwatch II captures that, at least if you pick one of the right classes. I can see a group of friends with a well-balanced party having an excellent time with it, and that’s really who these games are for, first and foremost. Ultimately though, Hammerwatch II makes too many poor design choices for me to recommend it to most players. There’s a good game in here somewhere, but it’s buried under too many flaws.
Andrew Thornton · Sep 08, 2023 Reviewed on PCRead full review - The game, sadly, often feels like a slog, The single-player is quite dull and a hard-to-recommend experience. Multiplayer is the main format of this game. On Normal difficulty as the Ranger class, the game is nearly impossible. My wolf is the only reason I am able to make it through.
MASON MARTIN · Sep 06, 2023 Reviewed on PCRead full review - As a solo experience, Hammerwatch II entertains but doesn’t impress. Your mileage may vary if you can team up with a party of friends. Don’t let that deter you from giving the game a try on your own, because there is still a lot of fun to be had here, even if the core loop can get grindy at times. We could do with a rework of the game’s day/night mechanics, but apart from that, Hammerwatch II offers a solid take on the genre, despite not bringing anything new to the table.
SebastiaanRaats · Aug 23, 2023 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Hammerwatch II gets into the meat of its gameplay right away. I loved looking for better gear and never felt like I wasn’t progressing toward something the entire time I played. I also loved the freedom to do side-quests when I wanted, no longer beholden to the linear story of the first Hammerwatch.
Elliot Hilderbrand · Aug 15, 2023 Reviewed on PCRead full review - I loved Hammerwatch II's fighting and gameplay, but the lacklustre narrative, unrewarding sidequests, and uninformative quests and world traversal leave much to be desired.
Artura Dawn · Aug 15, 2023 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Hammerwatch 2 is a delightful enough RPG romp held back by some issues that seem to cling stubbornly to the era that inspired it. A better map and more fast travel options would go a long way. As it stands it’s a lot of fun for fans of the genre, but doesn’t do a lot to really stand out in today’s market.
Mick Fraser · Aug 15, 2023 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Un discreto gioco di ruolo old-school impreziosito da una splendida pixel art, già questo basta a rendere Hammerwatch II un gioco degno di attenzioni, soprattutto se avete modo di coinvolgere un paio di amici. A nostro dire però la produzione Crackshell dà (o forse dovremmo dire “darà”) il meglio di sé con il supporto dei contenuti extra sfornati dall’utenza; l’editor fornito dagli sviluppatori è uno strumento molto potente, duttile e pieno di potenzialità, ma ci vorrà del tempo per trovare la quadra. Fino ad allora, la campagna principale delizierà gli amanti degli hack and slash più tradizionali. Qualche problema di natura tecnica da sistemare.
Jacopo Retrosi · Sep 02, 2023 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Un dungeon crawler che approfondisce un po’ gli elementi “ruolistici” del primo Hammerwatch rimanendo però ancora troppo in superficie e non offrendo particolari guizzi creativi. Se avete intenzione di giocarlo da soli preparatevi ad una discreta ripetitività di fondo, se invece avete qualche amico a disposizione il tasso di divertimento è destinato a salire un bel po’.
