If you still long for the days when Valve still made games like Left 4 Dead, pine no more. Warhammer: Vermintide offered an incredible alternative for folks who wanted some first-person co-op action, and now Vermintide 2 will crank everything right up to eleven. In the upcoming sequel there will be more rat men to fight, more ways to fight them, and more places to fight them in. Hell, there will be even more to fight than just rat men this time.Vermintide 2 Key Info
