If you're here, you probably liked Spelunky or Spelunky HD, and if that's the case, you'll love Spelunky 2. If you want more Spelunky, times ten... well, click that Add to Cart button. And that's what you'll get. Much, much more. Spelunky HD is arguably a perfect game, and Spelunky 2 expands upon that greatly, with a ton of new content, more content, and balance changes.

One of the most pure games I've ever played. Easily an all-time great. Cruel and punishing, yet fair and honest.

Did you grow up on Nintendo Hockey, Blades of Steel, Tecmo Bowl, World Cup Soccer, and Super Spike V'Ball?
This is your game, absolutely 150% this is your game.
If you have no idea what any of those games are, but you did like newer arcadey sports games like NBA Jam, NBA Hangtime, NHL Hitz, and NFL Blitz when you were growing up?
This is also your game.
I love hockey; hockey is by far my favorite sport over every other sport (yes including American Football).
But that being said -
Even with this having no real players, no licenses, and pretty basic gameplay, it is addictive and fun as heck.
What's the point of the game? Pass - shoot - score.
It is the video game equivalent of air hockey or bubble hockey, and it is just as fun as both.
The only negative I have is that there is no online play. Whether that gets added or not at some point, I really don't care.
This game is an easy "Yes, I recommend this game!", I HIGHLY recommend this game. It is ridiculously cheap, and it is ridiculously fun.
The dev (1 guy!) is active on the Steam forums for the game, and is taking suggestions and doing bug fixes as they are reported.
Absolutely top notch dev, and yes, please - support this guy. Buy this game.

Developer has confirmed that all future work on FT13 is dead. Do not buy this game.

It's not perfect, there are bugs and problems sometimes, but I usually still enjoy DBD.
The community is the worst though.

I went from "liking" this game on a free weekend (when I bought it at a discount) to absolutely loving this game. Once you level up and unlock all the weapons, augments, and shark abilities, and you get in a good "Blood & Gold" match, it is a constant back and forth chess match between the divers and the sharks. Most matches end up going down to the wire and ending on the final trip back to the diver cage.

The developer supports this game better than AAA companies support their games (cough Evolve cough). All non-cosmetic content for this game has been 100% free from the start; this includes several maps as well as new shark classes. They also push out Holiday updates that add to the charm and bring a smile to my face when I see S.T.E.V.E. in a sheet like a ghost or with Christmas lights and jingle bells. It's fun to play as both sides - shark and diver. Both have their perks. The Depth community is full of friendly people and fairly active, and I've made a lot of great friends. The game runs & looks great on almost any hardware, new or old.

Some people have complained about the matchmaking but I can't really say I've had any issues with it putting me in an unfair match.

Yes, the game is short; my playtime is 4.2 hours to completion. The story amps up real good, and then kinda falls flat at the end with the big reveal. However, the game itself is enjoyable. The dialogue between Henry & Delilah, the writing, and the world itself (both sights & sounds) makes this game worth playing through. I do wish there was more, but I'm happy I played through and I thoroughly enjoyed the game.

5/5. This game routinely scares the crap out of me but never quits being fun. Awesome value!

4/5. Blends stealth and FPS very well and changes based on your behavior.

5/5. As close to perfection as a game will ever get.
