PC Critic Reviews

No More Room In Hell 2 has won us over with fantastic objective based gameplay, letting us pair up with up to 8 players to survive the madness. The maps are huge and offer plenty to explore, the new Survival mode is a great change of pace, and the constant risk of losing it all feels well balanced. If Torn Banner can sort out the buggy menus, we’ll have one of the best online multiplayer games we’ve played this year on our hands.

No More Room in Hell 2's 1.0 update is a solid representation of what happens when a developer commits to delivering something special for that 'graduation' point in an early-access lifecycle. It truly embodies everything meant by the word 'upgrade'.

Though No More Room in Hell 2 clearly leans into decades of zombie history, it feels, most of all, like a great mash-up of two of my favorite zombie games: It has the dread-inducing, life-or-death stakes of State of Decay wrapped in a tight co-op experience reminiscent of Left 4 Dead. Though some subpar shooting mechanics keep it from being as enjoyable as either of those, that’s also a very high bar in my mind, and No More Room in Hell 2 still accomplishes a hell of a lot.

It’s remarkable to see the tide turning on No More Room In Hell 2, going from a botched early access launch that brought in a large number of negative Steam reviews to one of the best action coop experiences of 2026. Torn Banner Studios have really turned things around for this game, and I’m excited to see what the post-launch support will bring.

This is still tough, tense and genuinely terrifying. [Issue#428, p.114]

No More Room in Hell 2 is a fun, fairly priced co-op survival game built above all to be enjoyed with friends taking down zombies together. If you have a group to play with and fancy a tense cooperative experience where survival genuinely matters, it's well worth the purchase. Its slow pace and focus on resource management set it apart from the instant thrills of other genre staples, but that's not a flaw, it's its personality. Those chasing constant, pure frenzy may be left a little cold, though the new Survival Mode might just win them over.

If you're playing No More Room In Hell 2 on PC and comfortable parked at a desk with a mouse, you're going to have a great time. But 1.0 is supposed to mean the training wheels are off, and on controller, they're very much still on.

This is the second time that you and your comrades-in-arms have had to face hordes of zombies swarming in from all directions. Is it still fun? Yes, but the combat system and visuals could have been better.

No More Room in Hell 2 has potential. I think you only need to play one match to see it. A cooperative zombie-based extraction shooter is a fun idea, and the gore system makes it satisfying to tear through hordes of the undead. However, the game really needs to work on its latency issues and fill in an understandable yet very present lack of content before it’s ready to leave Early Access. [Early Access Review]

Whatever vision the development team had for No More Room in Hell 2 is squandered by bugs, a dismal gameplay loop, awful permadeath implementation, and more. Even if it's eventually technically sound, the concept needs a lot more work. [Early Access Score = 50]
