Easy Red 2

Better than many WW2 shooters these days! The amount of content youre getting is amazing and the gameplay is intense albeit a bit rough around the edges but hey its made by a tiny team! I especially love the Overlord missions which let you play every major engagement on D-Day.

This game is something special. My son and I have been playing co-op Gates of Hell and I saw this pop up. I've always liked the first person aspect of Gates of Hell but it was really basic. This is the real day. And man, I did 20 years active duty military, 5 combat tours. This FEELS like combat. More than any game I've ever played. I can't quite explain it but I started playing a mission. I took a rifleman, started "I'm up, he see's me, I'm down'ing towards an objective. And it's working. I get up, dash and as I'm hitting the dirt bullets are splashing around me. Now I'm feeling like billy bad ass again. I toss a smoke and get ready to charge the objective. A friendly tank pulls in close and starts engaging their armor. Perfect. A random richochet from the enemy tank one shots me. I never even saw it coming. It's the existential dread, this is how easy you can bite it randomly, simulator. But again, somehow it just feels real. Keep your ass under cover. You pop up and shoot? Better assume there are shooters you don't see and you have about 2 seconds to get your shot off before ducking down. Tuck in like a tick in a building and start taking shots with iron sights at a dude 200m away? He's gonna notice and he can shoot as well as you can. So you either kill him first or he'll dial his ♥♥♥♥ in. I'd legitimately pitch this to the military as a training tool. I have connections in this space, devs, let me know.

I've truly never played a game quite like this. It can be a bit janky (looking at you, vehicle physics) and the performance isn't perfect (though when my frames drop, they do so consistently with no microstuttering) but between the pretty good AI, the punchy weapons, the slightly more obscure campaigns it features, the well-designed control scheme (except in the mission editor), and the incredible diversity of equipment, I just can't stop coming back. I bought ER2 because I wanted something like Battlefield with bots or like a more modern Star Wars: Battlefront and it far exceeded my expectations in both respects. Much like Battlefield, it's one of those great games where you can stick to its greatest strengths and get super immersed or you can embrace the sandbox and screw around in different ways, often both at once. It's not as polished as a modern Battlefield title, of course, I'd say it's closer to Arma (albeit with far better controls) or the original Red Orchestra, but it still feels pretty good to play.

A hidden gem for the WW2 shooter genre. Probably gets overlooked by most because of the low price but well worth every cent and then some. Better than any AAA WW2 shooter on the market with no micro transactions or gimmicks. Highly recommend getting this game if you're an old school battlefield, day of defeat or even battlefront fan

its a cool game but its definitely quantity over quality. the playerbase isnt large enough but there are bots that can fill the slots

Are you as old AF? Do you complain about new games not feeling like they used to? STFU and buy this game you ancient, grumpy old tosser

Cool concept- AI behavior immediately put me off.

I was expecting Battlefield 1942 or CoD2 instead got Enlisted mixed with Band of brothers. Concept not bad just not what I was looking for

After seeing the Blood on the Danube DLC get released I decided to give Easy Red 2 a second chance and the game still unfortunately suffers from the same issue of repetitive AI behavior which creates an obvious mundane gameplay loop after 10-30 minutes of playing. Don't get me wrong, this game has potential and offers an impressive amount of content (if we're including all the DLCs) but I just personally can't enjoy the game until the AI undergoes drastic improvement.
