We also have a Darkest Dungeon 2 review on the way, so keep your eyes peeled.ĭarkest Dungeon 2 is out in early access on the Epic Games Store right now, priced at £24. If you'd like to know where the rest of that conversation goes, I'll have a full interview with the Red Hook folks on the site soon. And you get to be the stressed out parent in that situation.'
