About Bearskull 2
Bearskull 2 is an open world RPG with adventure and puzzle elements set in a brutal Viking-themed realm. Developed by DreamStudios, it launched on PC in late 2027 and blends solo and co-op gameplay. You’ll fight ruthless raiders, navigate a harsh landscape, and tackle tough bosses while uncovering a story about power and survival. The game leans into Norse mythology with rough textures and a focus on team-based combat. It’s not just about slaying enemies, solving environmental puzzles and managing resources are key. The multiplayer mode lets you team up to take on raids, making it a mix of action and strategy.
Gameplay
Bearskull 2 tasks you with exploring a fractured world filled with Viking factions and ancient ruins. Combat uses real-time melee and ranged attacks, with weapons wearing down over time. You craft tools to solve puzzles, like using fire to melt ice blocks or building traps to redirect enemies. The co-op mode is its standout feature, you and a friend take on fortified settlements, splitting roles between frontline fighting and backline strategy. Missions often involve breaching walls, dodging environmental hazards, and coordinating with AI allies. The RPG elements let you customize gear and skills, but progression is linear compared to the expansive world. Sessions can drag in solo mode due to repetitive enemy types, but co-op keeps the pace snappy.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate Bearskull 2 4.2/5 with a 8.9 critic score from 1,200 reviews. Average playtime is 18 hours, and 65% of players hit 100% completion. The mood is mostly adrenaline-fueled and “camaraderie-driven,” with 72% of reviews tagging “fun with friends.” Co-op completion time is 12 hours on average, 30% faster than solo. Achievement hunters love the 500+ trophies, including “Savage Survivor” for beating all 15 boss encounters without dying. However, 18% of users call the world-building “generic” and the side quests “underwhelming.” One review notes, “The co-op is worth the price alone, but solo mode feels half-baked.”
PlayPile's Take
Bearskull 2 is a solid pick for co-op fans and Viking RPG enthusiasts. The $39.99 price tag matches its 18-hour solo runtime, but the multiplayer mode adds replay value. While the single-player campaign lacks depth, the 500+ achievements and co-op missions justify the cost for teams. Skip if you prefer deep storytelling or open-world exploration over action. It’s a niche hit with strong multiplayer chops but falls short of genre classics.
