A sadistic, precise platformer with an enthralling Ai spin, where a twisted entity tries to place obstacles in your path. The main story is enticing, but the real joy comes from the post-game, going into each of the delicately crafted levels, finding secrets, collectibles, and difficulty points. Great soundtrack, an interesting style, and a lot of juice makes this game a must-play.

I'd definitely reccomend this game to everyone - at least to try. Spelunky 2 is already one of my most-played game, with almost all the achievements and beaten the true ending multiple times (to clarify, I have it on ps4 as well). Once you put in the hours, the game becomes a beautifully designed smooth ride through the levels, where the only thing stopping you is the occasional mistake. You feel like a just whipping all the enemies and flying through the levels. There is so much variety in the gameplay, even better with all the alternate routes (not just jungle and volcana, temple and tidepool) with choosing to go for true ending, choosing to go shopkeeper-genocide or forgiveness, true crown, eggplant and all the NPC questlines in every run. I was not disapointed.
