Spelunky 2 is becoming an addiction for me. The roguelike, Indiana Jones-style action is something I just can’t get enough of right now, and couple that with the mega-smooth control style (a huge upgrade over the previous game, in my opinion), and you’ve got a recipe for all-night spelunking fests.
Spelunky 2 just received a patch on PS4, updating the game to version 1.07. It’s mostly just bug fixes, but there are a few oddities here, like changing the witch doctor skull shape.

Honestly, I’ve had a bug-free experience with Spelunky 2, despite all the time I’ve invested. Still, it’s good to see the devs on top of squashing bugs so everyone ends up having a better time overall. Plus, I’ll take any help I can get in killing those blasted rolling lizards, so the mount change is definitely appreciated.
