How it was received

Magicka 2 holds a critic score of 61 out of 100. That places it above 20% of the 7,525 rated adventure games in our database, which average 72. Games released in 2015 averaged 69, so it scored 8 points below the year average. Players rate it 69, 8 points higher than critics did — a gap worth knowing about before you buy.

How long it takes, and what that costs

The main story runs about 10 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 33 hrs, roughly 3.3 times the length of the critical path. At its current cheapest price of $3.59, that works out to about $0.36 per hour of the main story, or $0.11 per hour if you finish everything.

What you need to run it

The minimum specification calls for CPU: 3GHz Dual Core (Intel Pentium G3220 or higher / AMD A4-4000 or higher), 2 GB RAM and Nvidia GeForce 550 or better / ATI Radeon HD 5850 or better. At 2GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 3GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
