## Key points

- The sequel adds depth while keeping its accessible co-op action.
- New gear and randomised loot expand character customisation.
- A sprawling map and tougher enemies encourage exploration and teamwork.

## Summary

Minecraft Dungeons 2 builds on the original’s approachable, co-operative take on Diablo-style action role-playing, adding more depth while keeping its simple, accessible feel. After five or six hours playing with their children, the reviewer says Mojang and Double Eleven have struck a successful balance: the sequel feels richer and more flexible without losing the straightforward pleasure of fighting enemies together.

Players still have no fixed character classes, but new equipment slots, upgradeable Talismans, more varied random loot and a more flexible enchantment system offer greater scope to shape a character. Combat remains immediate, though tougher “soul-corrupted” enemies encourage co-operation and tactical play. The game also introduces the surreal Sift dimension and replaces the first game’s linear chapters with a sprawling map of main and side quests, dungeons and secrets; navigating it with a party can be challenging.
