Darkest Dungeon 2 is a hard game to love at times. Just like with its party of heroes packed into an armoured coach and sent rumbling down the road towards their oblivion, negative feelings are somewhat inevitable. It might be when an untimely series of crits kill a hero and leaves your party in shambles, or when you arrive at the mountain after four regions to find a final boss you're completely unprepared for. There are myriad perils that can end a run and banish you back to the shadowy edges of the map to lick your wounds and grumble. As with its predecessor, love and hate spin on the same strange axis, and it's ultimately up to you to decide if the eventual triumph is worth the tribulation it takes to get there.
