never tried local coop but online can be a bit laggy at times.How's the multiplayer in this game? I enjoyed the first game well enough, but my interest in this sequel is basically whether or not I can play it with my girlfriend and have a good time. Would we only need one copy?

Local co-op is currently in, so is Steam Remote Play. So you can play the local co-op mode even if the other player is on a remote computer. Only one person needs to own the game to use Steam Remote Play.How's the multiplayer in this game?

A native online co-op mode is coming too, as far as I know.
Thanks for the info. Do you/anyone else have impressions of the local coop? Is it enjoyable? I can't remember if the first game had it. If so, is the sequel's better?Local Co-Op is on from day 1, online isn't available on PC at launch and I don't think a date has been set yet.

Is it as hard as Spelunky 1? ...because if that is the case, I have plenty of yet-to-complete levels in that one.

The general feedback seems to suggest that it's even harder. Some who were very good at the first one are having a lot of trouble but often that's also what they enjoy about it.Is it as hard as Spelunky 1? ...because if that is the case, I have plenty of yet-to-complete levels in that one.
Eh that's an issue but it's also just a legitimately harder game with harder requirements for the real ending as well. Lots of mechanics were made harder as well. The whip was nerfed, things in shops explode from gun shots as well as other explosions, robbing shopkeepers is more difficult, new enemy types are more difficult, the first biome is far more difficult etc.I think some of the difficulty comes from unlearning a few things from Spelunky 1. That's at least my impression from watching a bunch of Spelunky 1 veterans.
You can play the local co-op mode online with any of your Steam friends. Not quite the same thing but it's far better than nothing.That sucks about online coop not being available. Thats the sole reason I wanted to purchase this. Looks like I am holding off until it's in.

I haven't tested this myself but it should be possible to do Steam Remote Play even if you only have one controller on your end and one controller on their end.This is probably way more than you bargained for, but Ive tried to do the online coop for games like gangbeasts, but it appears I would need a 2nd controller plugged in for them correct? When we did gang beasts over Steam for local coop, it was making them use a keyboard.

This thread talks about this very issue:

I'm not quite sure what your use case is. I just know that Steam input is pretty great and you can probably get it working regardless of your controller preference.
Not at all, it can run on a potato.Is this game demanding in a pc specs way? I don't really know about that stuff and my girlfriend is really into this game

It's still a major adjustment from 1 but even after that adjustment it's quite a bit harder.
Is this the kind of game where you have one life and if you die you instantly have to start the entire game all over again (ie from beginning of World 1)?bought it and put an hour in so far - so much new in world 1 that haven't gotten to the second yet.
those arrow traps are tough to spot now.
Yes though there are shortcuts you can open by giving certain items to a character after each world.Is this the kind of game where you have one life and if you die you instantly have to start the entire game all over again (ie from beginning of World 1)?

And if I don't have certain item, then I'm totally fucked aren't I :)Yes though there are shortcuts you can open by giving certain items to a character after each world.
Yeah not sure I have the patience for games like this anymore.
