The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

Playing Magicka 2 feels like a chaotic, humor-filled co-op romp where spells misfire hilariously and teamwork is both essential and absurd.

What players say

Players say Magicka 2 is a solid co-op romp with hilarious friendly fire moments, but the magic system is more limited than the first game. Many disagree on difficulty: some find solo play harsh, others say self-revive makes it fair. Long-time fans note support for both games stalled, and the original is now hard to run.
