Review at: http://darkzero.co.uk/game-reviews/magicka-2-pc

Explaining Magicka 2 is easy if you don’t want to go into much depth – it’s more Magicka. It arrived more stable, looks better, still contains the amusing humour and bundles of references, and its spell system remains hectic and unique, but slight changes in the game design mean that it feels less exciting and safe than the fresh-faced original, and that’s a little disappointing when so much could have been done to take it forward. It’s a good game that leads to bundles of fun when playing cooperative, but on your own, you are best to go somewhere else, as this combat-focused sequel just isn’t made for a single player’s mind and will frustrate more than the fun it brings when battling with three other masochistic wizards.
