[PlayStation 5] Monster Train 2: A Comprehensive Review

Hey, so there’s this game, right? Monster Train 2. It’s by Big Fan Games, Devolver Digital, and Shiny Shoe, and it’s, like, totally out there on PS5 now. And I was all like, “Alright, let’s see what’s up,” ’cause, you know, sequels can either rock or totally flop. No in-between, I swear.

So, Monster Train 1? Yeah, played that. This new one? Comes after those epic events—angels and demons teaming up. I mean, what? Crazy, right? Heaven tried squashing hell, totally backfired, and now Titans are crashing the party. And you’re like, “Why Titans?” Honestly, dunno. Just roll with it.

Anyway, you get these trains. The kind that runs through hell, heaven, everywhere! It’s got new clans—five of them, if you can believe it—and cards and items. You tweak the difficulty, so pros and noobs can both have a blast or, you know, throw their controller if things go south.

Remember Seraph? Oh, buddy, they’re trying to power up to handle demons. Unleashes Titans. Whoops. Can’t make this stuff up! So, you get angels and demons trying to get along. Good luck with that. These trains are your base for sending unit cards—mixing clans and everything—to tear through the story. Yeah, story. Like cutscenes and stuff, more than before. Covenant Outpost is where you see the drama unfold.

Back to the game itself: runs are random. I love random. Keeps things spicy, you know? Guard your Pyre, that’s your real job. If it gets beat up, game over, friend. Set your units, mix in spells and equipment, and hope for the best. Pretty sure I missed that detail at first, oops. My bad.

Oh, trophies! Got your usual list—Bronzes, Silvers, a Gold, and shiny Platinum awaiting. Much to do: big hits, no-spell runs, leveling up clans. Usual suspects. But why the chase? Because gamer pride, that’s why.

I dig it. Sequel’s a wild ride. Heaven, hell, and even those offbeat tangents—like, the whole abyss thing. Yep, all part of the journey. Unlock special stuff, like Pyre Hearts (sounds dramatic, right?) and clans. There’s this Endless Mode too, keeping you glued to your screen. Challenge accepted?

Anyway—wait, where was I? Oh, right. Monster Train 2. Give it a spin, especially if you dig deckbuilding chaos. Catch you on the train, maybe?
