PixelJunk Monsters 2 released to little fanfare earlier in the year, and although isn't without a few issues, still retains the satisfying, deceptively deep strategy that fans know and love. One of the major changes to the sequel is a much closer camera that follows your character across the map, which can make keeping an eye on all your towers much harder than it should be.
Today on Twitter, developer Q-Games has teased that a big update will be released tomorrow. Details of what exactly will be included aren't yet known, but the studio seems to be pretty excited.
It's saying that the update will "change the way you think about Monsters 2 forever", which is a pretty bold statement. It seems as though the patch will address some of the problematic design choices, such as the close camera, the limit on how far apart co-op players can be, and more. These are things that have been fixed on the PC release, as well as new modes like Weekly Challenge and Random Stage modes, so hopefully this all will translate to the PS4 version in tomorrow's update.

Back on the radar again then. Did anyone buy this game?
I played the demo for about 3 minutes but lost on the first level b/c I forgot how to play and ran out of money just messing around randomly building stuff in useless areas.
I did enjoy the first game, my kids finished it in co-op, but I think I either got it with PS+ or paid $1, these aren't the type of games I pay anywhere near full price for, and this is just more of the same.
Battle Royale!
Battle Royale?
BATTLE ROYALE!!!11!!!!!!11
Never played it and have no idea if it would even work in the context of the game. But what the frick... everyone's doing it, so it's as good a guess as any.
... I did enjoy the demo, but from reviews, there was a severe lack of content and it was incredibly easy, even on the hard levels... still on the fence with this (absolutely loved the first, they've really dropped the ball with this one though)... will pick it up in the inevitable sale...
Surprised at the comments here, I loved the first game and equally loved the second, not to mention it looks beautiful.
It's easy to start off with but the harder levels do pose a challenge on certain stages.
My only gripe with the game is that playing multiplayer with friends is actually quite difficult, not at all intuitive and quite a frustration, so if that's fixed then I'll be very happy.
I bought it and enjoyed it but did not like the close camera. You had to memorize the whole level because there was no way to see where the next opponents came. It is quite hard so I needed youtube videos to beat it on the hardest mode. I will come back after the patch is out and then finally go for the platinum.
if it's like the last game, it is too freaking hard! i mean, you need to get "perfect" on stages to progress in the game... what were they thinking? if they make this game more forgiving i will give it a try since i did enjoy the first game up until the point i could not progress any further. the game was rage inducing at times
Forgot it even existed despite being a huge fan of the first. It's weird how we fans kept begging for a sequel for years and they kept releasing other games only for them to finally make it and have pretty much no one buying it.
Just weird.
Absolutely loved the first game, even though it could be pretty frustrating at times. Played it intensely with my girlfriend and two of my friends (one-by-one of course)
We all waited and waited for a sequel, but it never came. Until now!
But I must say that I'm not exactly hooked, primarily because of the super close camera. In my opinion it's such a huge step backwards and nearly ruins the game, especially when playing co-op.
So here is hoping that they'll fix the problems and I will definitely give it a second chance.
