The Verdict
based on 18 reviews
“Let's get this out of the way: Pandemic Legacy Season 2 is in my top 2 of gaming experiences ever. Right up there with Pandemic Legacy: Season 1.”
“Pandemic Legacy: Season Two is not my favourite game of 2017, but it is right up among them. It somehow manages to capture the essence of everything that I love about Pandemic, whilst at the same time flipping it on its head and introducing a few new ideas into the generally pretty tired post-apocalyptic setting.”
“At the end of the day, Pandemic Legacy: Season 2 is a great game. It's not as good as Season 1 simply because it doesn't have the same novelty factor, but it outdid Season 1 where it could (lore, artwork, player story-building).”
“Overall and overall I like this one almost twice much as I like the first one I really like this one”(15:43)
“I love the fact that they took Pandemic and put it on its head because in this game the mechanisms are basically Pandemic almost in reverse where you're trying to add supply cubes to two areas so that they don't get plagues.”(18:38)
“I loved Pandemic Legacy season 2. I thought it was great. The biggest complaint I have against it is I played season one first and season two felt not as good as season one.”(19:37)
“I have to agree with the Spiel des Jahres jury: this is the best version of Pandemic I've played. It's brilliant, and Rob Daviau and Matt Leacock deserve massive kudos for this outstanding creation.”
“With the right group of players, you'll find Pandemic Legacy Season 2 an increasingly engrossing experience. When you get to the end, you'll be finished with it and you won't be able to replay your copy.”
“If you enjoyed season one then I can't guarantee that you like season two, but surely you will, you know, you might not think that it's as good or better, but it's certainly a another amazing game and I'm really really glad that we experienced it.”(12:21)
“Season 1 I felt was a rare 10 out of 10 game. Season 2 started off as a 9, quickly became an 8, and every so often I felt a game would dip even lower than that.”(6:18)
“Well, on the whole we are really, really happy we played all the way through; we had a very, very good time from start to finish. And you know, I mean, there are several things that this does improve upon.”(2:17)
“I think there's a definitely a promising start there and if you were a fan of Season one I see no reason you would be disappointed with season 2”(3:15)
