👍 Strengths

140 reviews find Chivalry 2 fun, describing huge, chaotic battles and absurd moments that keep them smiling. 32 enjoy charging into fights together with friends, and some love the voice emotes and silly interactions with other players. 30 praise the combat feel, calling the controls easy to learn and the melee visceral and skill based. Gameplay ranks 402nd of 1396, and Story & World ranks 331st of 1096.

👎 Where it falls short
