Gaming NexusEric HauterMar 20249.5/10Swarm 2 improves almost everything from the stellar first entry, while adding a roguelike structure that makes the game that much more addictive. At this point, if you haven’t played a Swarm game, you are failing at VR. There just aren't that many games that can grant this freedom of motion without a side helping of nausea. You owe it to yourself to experience the pure joy of movement that Swarm 2 offers.

God is a GeekChris WhiteMay 20248/10Swarm 2 features some fantastic traversal that works incredibly well in VR, with solid gunplay and a satisfying roguelike loop.

Wolf's Gaming BlogBaden RonieMar 20244/5 starsTaken on its own merits, Swarm 2 is heaps of fun and an incredibly cool virtual reality experience. Swinging around like a gun-toting Spider-Man is immensely satisfying. As a sequel, I think it’s a little bit disappointing because the roguelike elements don’t add much, at least for myself. Others may find the emphasis on gradually building up power more enjoyable than I did.
