95% off? It's exactly like a free game.
I spent a few hours playing it, and it's a really enjoyable team-coop game with a welcoming community.
This game is similar to WWZ / Left4Dead
It's really satisfying to break every rat's head with an axe.
Strongly suggested 11/10

Teamwork makes the dream work — until someone forgets to block and 400 rats make you their dream.
At least the rats had good coordination — can’t say the same about my friends.

fatshark is a very questionable game developer.
fatshark's -tide games provide unquestionably the best horde melee/shooter gameplay on the market.
so you want to play the games because they are good, but you have a hard time loving them because the devs make it so much harder. it's a conundrum that me and other people playing these games are stuck with for 10+ years now.

Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is a brutal, fast-paced, and highly satisfying co-op experience. As someone who loves both action and the Warhammer universe, this game hits all the right notes. It combines intense combat, a rich fantasy setting, and cooperative gameplay in a way that keeps you coming back for more.
The game's combat is visceral and relentless. Whether you’re cleaving through hordes of Skaven or facing off against the Chaos warriors, each swing of your weapon feels impactful. The weight of each character’s unique playstyle—from the tanky dwarf with his powerful hammer to the agile elf with her bow—is felt in every fight, and there’s a real sense of progression as you level up and unlock new abilities. The satisfaction of chaining kills and coordinating with your teammates in the heat of battle is unmatched.
The setting, of course, is fantastic for fans of Warhammer. The grimdark world is beautifully realized, and the environments are both detailed and atmospheric. You’ll traverse through ruins, forests, and desolate villages, all while facing waves of enemies in a truly immersive experience. The soundtrack adds to the intensity, creating a sense of urgency during combat and providing a fitting backdrop for the game’s dark tone.
What sets Vermintide 2 apart is its emphasis on teamwork. This isn’t a game you can breeze through alone—cooperation is key. Whether you’re coordinating attacks, defending an objective, or reviving fallen teammates, the success of your mission relies on the collective effort. It’s that sense of camaraderie that makes Vermintide 2 stand out in the crowded co-op genre.
The game does have a few issues, though. The difficulty can feel punishing at times, especially when facing the harder challenges. It can be frustrating to get wiped out by a single wave of enemies or to fail an objective just because of one mistake. Also, while the loot system and progression are solid, there’s a bit of grind required to get the best gear.
Overall, Warhammer: Vermintide 2 delivers an incredible cooperative action experience with a real sense of reward. If you enjoy intense combat, tactical gameplay, and teaming up with friends to fight back a relentless horde, this is a must-play. It’s a chaotic, thrilling ride through the Warhammer universe that leaves you wanting more.

Probably the longest I've ever played a single game ever and it not being an MMO.
It's an amazing experience, the learning curve is not too difficult but the difficulties themselves are well balanced.
I want to point out, that for a hardcore VT2 player, Cataclysm is simply not enough, Cata + Twitch with 300% setting and no bonuses is also not enough.
There are very few players like that and forming a team for such an adventure can be very difficult to manage.
There's plenty of mods that increase the difficulty that makes it fun but I prefer to play on the original realm.
Overall, I'm happy to recommend this game to anyone who is a fan of the genre and wants to have his blood pressure raised for a bit until you get used to all the craziness around. It's a wonderful experience.
Game definitely needs balance and there are still many obvious bugs that should definitely be fixed but in the grand scheme of things, this game brought me lots of joy and many new Steam friends.
