Monster Train 2 reviewed on PC by Dan Stapleton. Also available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S (on Game Pass), PC, and Nintendo Switch.
Monster Train 2 is a fantastic upgrade for what was already one of the best deckbuilding roguelites out there. Its new Equipment cards layer on even more ways to build a team of super-powerful monsters, and its five new clans of delightfully weird characters are every bit as ripe for experimentation and unexpected results as the original cast. You can play it dozens of times and not take the same approach twice – and even if you choose the same starting options you have to adapt and think on your feet to make the most of what fate decides to give you. I can easily say right now that its endless challenge and the pleasant surprises I’m still discovering within it will keep me coming back for hundreds of hours.
