Game is fun, although incredibly buggy, and it's clear the developers are prioritizing new content to sell in-game currency over fixing major issues. Given the broken state they left Magicka in, this isn't too surprising. Hope they can focus on polish and less on new content. That said, the core gameplay is wonderfully engaging and will keep you coming back, even when glitches can try your patience.

Community management team at Arrowhead is also absolute cancer. They can't manage their own emotions, let alone a community.

Since Sony walked back the PSN account requirement, I have no problem recommending this game.

Developers are removing content from all versions of the game despite vocal opposition from the community. The original team is no longer at the helm. Spare yourself and don't give them money. There are better fighting games out there.

This game is really nothing like the first. Many spell combinations have been toned-down. Enemies are mostly just damage sponges, and higher difficulties just make the problem worse (and gives them regenerating health). In the first game, the most effective strategy was almost always to use the enemy's weaknesses against them; failing that, you could just summon chaos and hope that the enemy died more than you did. That doesn't really apply here. Your best strategy is to find something that does excessively high damage in a single strike and to spam it. Anything else will just get you killed. It's a shame, because doing this isn't nearly as fun as throwing everything and the kitchen sink at an enemy until they go down. Worse, the AI is practically braindead and will just chase you like children with a soccer ball. Likewise, this just isn't very fun. Running endlessly from damage sponges is just not a great experience.

Add in that the writing is terrible. The first one was full of references and not amazing but the writing here isn't even trying most of the time. It's just incredibly bland and seems more like it's trying to be bad than it is self-aware that it is bad.

Physics are also a straight downgrade. Projectiles can now land in one of two places: right next to you or outside the arena. There is no aiming for intermediary targets at medium distances. You are basically offered the choice to just shoot a rock or to charge it all the way, because anything in-between is just a waste.

They've added a hotkey system to let you cast Magicks more easily, along with a cooldown system. I guess this makes it easier to use common magicks? Except you can still just cast them the old-fashioned way. This seems like an attempt to raise the skill floor for newcomers. Ultimately, that's all it is: a crutch. But I think it distracts from learning the game.

In that same vein, there is also a familiar which can provide resurrections during solo play and act as a backup in multiplayer. Also makes the game much easier, since you can just resurrect it when it dies. Effectively infinite lives. What bothers me the most is that they clearly felt that the changes to enemy behavior and difficulty were warranted to balance-out these simplifications. I'd argue that the simplifications reduce the game's complexity to the point where it is too dumbed-down, and then the enemy difficult removes any fun to be had because you really can't goof-around anymore. A lot of spells are just off-the-table because they're too ineffective. I appreciate providing a backup for solo play, but this just goes too far.

Ultimately, these changes mean you have only a few spells which are actually useful, a series of useful Magicks that are easier to cast via hotkey unless you want to spam them, and quite a bit of equipment which is also quite useless, although somehow better than the random assortment of outfits from the first game which ranged wildly in balance. Overall, despite the flaws of the first game, I'd recommend you spend your time and money on that one instead. Maybe someday we'll get an actual sequel to Magicka, but this isn't it.
