BRUTAL JOHN 2

IT WAS AWESOME! A cool game in the style of Duke Nukem, but it seemed a bit short. I would like some more levels in the main campaign, and in the future, I would like to see a DLC sequel, a story campaign with new enemies and weapons!

good game

Да годнота.Если заходят старые олд шутеры то самое то.Гейплей нормальный ,не надоедает .Кароче нормальная игра ждем первую часть.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥! That was the best game ever

Это было прикольно

好玩的，就是堆怪特别多，第一次接触这类游戏的建议先开简单模式，怪的血量和数量较少，爽感拉满

This game is all about kicking ass and chewing bubble gum. First let me get the negatives out of the way, there aren't a lot: -The English voice acting isn't very good, but it's campy and can be enjoyable -Valve knows that small enemies shouldn't have a lot of hitpoints, and should die easily from 1-2 hits -Sometimes the game is very stubborn in giving you ammo, like for boss fights Now let's get on with the real review. +The game shines that magic that 90s and early 00s shooters had, it's not old school , it's simply good +Kicking enemies feels amazing +All of the weapons feel like a joy to use +Weapon upgrades +It truly feels like an old classic, but modernised +The story is kinda stupid, but in a fun way +Love all the GPU/NFT/Crypto stuff going on +Vehicle sections +One of the main characters is a anthropomorphic dog +A character you meet is a anthropomorphic cat

If you ever grew up with Duke, this baby is made with love, just for you. Feels exactly like what a modern Duke Nukem game done right should be. The inspiration is worn proudly on it's sleeves and yet it also excels in being it's own memorably kickass creation at the same time. Games a fuggin blast, and a spanking new clasic in my book.

It's kinda difficult to review Brutal John 2 for me, as this is another one of those cases when I would really appreciate having a middle option. It's leaning more towards recommend, but there are some pretty major caveats to it. In the game's vernacular, I would recommend it, but by a skin of its (not steel) balls. BJ2 is, by all intents and purposes, a Temu Duke Nukem 3D. A lot of things that made D3D the legendary FPS it is are present here, as well, though a whole lot of them are usually watered down. From the humor, gore effects, to the protagonists, and the setting itself, all is basically Duke, but either half-assed, overplayed/underplayed, or flanderized. It's a strange mix of some things going further, more vulgar, and other things backpedaling, making the game more, I guess, Reddit-friendly? For example, in Duke, the shooting and explosions are notoriously meaty and impactful. In BJ2, it's all a bit floaty and has a lot less punch. In Duke, the gore is fantastic, putting G into Gibs. BJ2 has a nondescript, weak blood VFX. In Duke, there are strippers who will show you their tits in exchange for some currency. In BJ2, there are censored strippers (why even bother?). In Duke, there are cultural references from books, movies, TV shows, events, other games, and everything in between. In BJ2, the references are mostly from Duke or from Youtubers (who presumably shilled the game). In Duke, most of the one-liners are from great contemporary movies. In BJ2, most one-liners are from Duke. You can probably see where I'm going with this. A lot of the game is just derivative. Which wouldn't be inherently bad on its own, but in my opinion, it just makes the game a lot cheaper and less fun than it could be. I wish devs would try to step out of Duke's shadow a bit more. The other problem is that the game is VERY short. Not even six hours from start to end, and that's on hard, with copious screwing around, looking for all secrets. Don't get me wrong, BJ2 has its moments. Some levels are genuinely cool. The map design, in general, is definitely a highlight of the game; it's great. You will probably chuckle a couple of times, too. Coupled with its very fair pricing, I would recommend it. But it is a so-so recommendation.

Got all achievements in 6.2 hours (had to take breaks). Gunplay feels good, tons of secrets and easter eggs to find, humor is dumb in a good way. Some rough spots (Fatty boss ammo balance, a couple achievements are barely documented so you'll need to check the Steam forums), but still Early Access and devs are actively updating it. This game was recommended to me by a friend and it's so worth it.
