Overview
- SteamDB records a peak of 574,638 concurrent players, placing the sequel among Steam’s 20 most‑played games ever during its launch window.
- Mega Crit says it is “totally blown away” by player interest and softened a joking post about Bungie’s Marathon after the sequel far outdrew it on Steam.
- A weekend hotfix resolves notable issues, including a co‑op exploit that generated infinite block, a post‑multiplayer run lockout, and a launch blackscreen linked to a crash reporter.
- Patch notes also cite fixes for a Whispering Earring softlock, a Pael’s Wing timing divergence, Doormaker battle music transitions, and several localization errors.
- Early impressions describe an evolution of the original with sharper art, fresh mechanics, and four‑player co‑op, while Steam user reviews sit in the mid‑90s percent positive.
