Reception

IGN awarded the game a score of 7.7 out of 10, saying "Though it may occasionally test your patience, Magicka 2's charm and depth make it a really fun co-op experience".[5] PC Games N awarded it 6 out of 10, saying " At the moment it’s functional, sometimes fun, but only something that should really be considered if you’ve got three chums who are guaranteed to play with you.".[6] GameSpot awarded it 6 out of 10, saying "Put Magicka 2 next to its 2011 predecessor and you’ve got a before-and-after comparison straight out of a weight-loss advertising campaign."[7] WGRank 6.2 out of 10 based on Good points: Skill based magic - co-operative - good combat system and Bad points: Some bug need to solve - difficult to point when doing solo.[8] It has a 70% rating on Metacritic.[9]
