Is Monster Train 2 worth it?

I am not giving the game my own score. These are the published ones, with dates.

Metacritic showed 87 from 35 critics when I checked the critic page. OpenCritic, via PCGamingWiki, showed 88. Steam showed 95 percent of 5,119 English reviews, inside a total of 8,807 reviews. PureXbox's launch story quoted a Metacritic of 89 in May 2025. The later page says 87. I keep both, with the dates, instead of picking the friendlier one.

Named critic scores on Metacritic's list: IGN 90, PC Gamer 91, Game Informer 93, GamesRadar+ 90, Shacknews 90, Screen Rant 100, Noisy Pixel 95, Siliconera 90, Hey Poor Player 100, Try Hard Guides 100. I did not find a Nintendo Life or Push Square review at the slugs I tried, so I will not say how it runs on Switch. Worth-it is your price tolerance against $24.99 and whether you want a floor-defense deckbuilder. The scores above are the evidence, not a command to buy.
