Now I haven't reached my 50 hour quota for reviewing games but given how I have clocked a few hundred hours on this game's prequel, I think I have an idea of what's going on.

I guess there isn't much else to say since chances are you've read a bunch of other reviews and you're either in one of two situations if you're reading this. Firstly, you're probalby busy downloading the game or already playing it, in which case, enjoy it. Don't take it for what it is on the surface, which isn't much but a really ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up dungeon crawler type thing. There is a lot more to the game than what initially meets the eye.

There are a lot of different enemies, items, powerups and secret areas for you to explore. There are also 20 unique and interesting challenges for you to take. There are a few characters, each with their own unique abilities or disabilites and a lot of interesting bosses. What I like about the bosses is that they don't follow the generic "boss fight" standard where they just follow a specific pattern. Their attacks and movement are unpredictable and I like that aspect. As you delve into the game, you will discover more and more. That's why there are people with 1000+ hours clocked, there's just that much to explore. There's just that much more stuff to find out before things get mundane.

If you haven't bought the game yet, do so if you can afford to. Not because everyone says its good, but because everyone says its an essential addition to any gamer's collection, it really is. Whether you like its play style or not, its just one of those games you have to at least try out. The developers have stayed humble and light hearted about their masterpiece and they deserve the small asking price of the game that they receive after you buy it.

A few things I like about the game: The music, it works really well and I like how it changes based on where you are. It has a sense of calmness to it or sometimes a sense of eeriness that really helps with the atmosphere of the game. Generic ear-bleed-inducing heavy metal crap just ruins some games, thankfully, this is not the case here. I would buy the soundtrack if I wasn't a poor ♥♥♥♥.

The enemies: Which other game lets you be a little naked boy covered in crap, shooting pee out of your eyes into a fat blob of a monster that opens its toothed vagina to shoot a stream of blood at you only to explode into a group of flies? In which other game, does contracting TB and Cancer give you power? In which other game do you have to kill gray flying buttholes covered in hair that shoot pops of blood at you with your powerful group of flies and spiders?

Its unique, its creepy and its just great fun. You can play for hours on end or you can simply get a daily 15 minute quick-fix after a stressful game of DOTA or whatever. Oh, and another thing I like is that they integrate with Steam nicely. With a crapload of achievements, trading cards, profile backgrounds, badges and emoticons. This may seem trivial, but its something I personally appreciate.
