I don’t usually establish with slasher horror villains, however the party-hating serial killers in stealthy murder-puzzler Party Hard 2 simply need to safe themselves night time’s kip. Murdering everybody and every little thing on the noisy get together subsequent door wouldn’t be my first selection, however there’s methodology to their insanity. Out right this moment, Party Hard 2 is sequel to Pinoki & Kverta’s unusual slasher sandbox, now with 3D graphics, extra story, extra advanced goals and much more methods to lacerate, immolate or pulverise cloth-eared partygoers. Below, a synthy, neon-drenched launch trailer.
Party Hard was a bit like taking part in Hitman improper, however very well. Wiping out completely everybody on the map, whereas making as a lot of it appear to be a convoluted accident as attainable (or simply eradicating any witnesses) is order of the day, with subtlety being a distant secondary concern. The sequel appears to construct on that whereas dabbling in additional conventional stealthy antics, with gangs and even an alien conspiracy getting between you and a peaceable night time. Sometimes you’re not even attempting to kill everybody, only a few particular targets. There’s some boss fights in there too, by some means.
Party Hard 2 additionally has native co-op, and for the very on-line crowd it additionally has Twitch integration, assigning viewer’s names to random partygoers, and letting the viewers contribute some extra chaos by way of chat key phrases. There’s 4 completely different characters to play as this time, starting from the normal grumpy man with knife, to what appears like a rave-themed Predator, if I’m studying the trailer above proper. Still, the game balances this out – one stream I simply poked my head into had the participant being stalked and menaced by a legally distinct NotTerminator as a random occasion.
Party Hard 2 is out now on Steam, Humble and GOG, and prices £13.94/€15.11/$17.99. It is printed by TinyBuild.
