Warhammer: Vermintide 2

Because vermins are resistant to eradication!

The Skaven are back, this time with the forces of Chaos backing them up and it's up to the same five heroes as last time to cooperatively thwart them in a 10 mission campaign.

The devs basically took everything that was good in the first game and just expanded on it without actually changing the basics which is awesome. There are more types of foes now with bosses, new skill trees per character, and a new keep/base that expands as you level up.

It's great when you can line them up.

If you only play for the story you'll be done over a weekend, but if you are a completionist and don't mind some grind then this will keep you busy much longer. I recommend this good co-op game and give it four ratling gunners out of five.

June 2019 Status

May turned out to be a mess but not for the reasons I expected. Death is never expected I suppose. The loss of my dad last month really threw a spanner into scheduling stuff, and into being inspired to do pretty much anything. It's amazing how much work is involved in arranging a funeral, and this is for someone who already had many things decided and paid for in advance with the funeral parlor. That might be worth a post all on its own.

April 2019 Status

Ever since my computer upgrade my brothers and I have been having weekly game nights (Dying Light and now Vermintide 2) which are really fun and last long into the early hours of the morning! There'll be a small break to that routine this month due to scheduling conflicts but that, as well as the extra holidays during Easter, also gives me a chance to finish off other items on the list.
