More about Warhammer: Vermintide 2

3 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written December 2025 to October 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 51 percent of the 3,886 reviews written there were positive, against 85 percent overall, and those are 4 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (cosmetic); the score docks it lightly for that.

148,111 people have reviewed it, which is a big enough crowd to settle the number.

What players say

Nice coop game, nothing crazy. Just hits the right theme and playstyle. Warhammer fantasy + Left4Dead. :)

I've played this game off and on since release (~8 years at this point). I love these five idiots. The gameplay is tight, the classes are fun, and the writing is top notch. Darktide is a pale imitation of the OG, unfortunately. This is always the one I end up coming back to.

At first Vermintide 2 felt like another horde shooter. Coming back years later, I understood what sets it apart: melee is the heart of the game, and it is exceptional. Every swing, block and parry is anchored to a character holding a real weapon, with weight you can feel. Each weapon has its own moveset and rhythm, from the upward cleave of a greatsword to the precise thrust of Kerillian's spear. There's no sprint...
