Spelunky 2 is a hell of a game, what else could you expect out of the mastermind that is Derek Yu? It's also really, really hard - to the point that whoever is reading this is probably never going to completely beat the game. Is this a good thing?
Err... Yes.
As weird as it sounds, whilst Spelunky 2 is obscenely hard, it's also got one of the best approaches to difficulty The Architect has ever seen - and it's at the forefront of a bunch of recent games that cater to expert players and newbies using a cool new technique called Granular Difficulty.
