10/10 game. loved the freedom. absolutely peak.

I've just finished the game for the first time. True difficulty.
I've never been a huge fan of stealth, in fact i've played most of it in john wick mode. But I was surprised at how complex and fun it is is even if you stray off from stealth, the AI feels responsive and dynamic, each enemy truly feels different. I loved how the game never forced me to go silent, it just made me suffer the concequences when I insisted on being a jackass, and this made me ironically learn to use stealth and integrate it with my playstyle. You'll probably never see me running a silenced pistol kevlar kit but I had my fair share of stealthy takedowns and distracting, even if just to get somewhere convenient before I started blasting everyone with a remington or my beloved hk417.
Highly reccomended to any 2d gritty shooter fan, especially if you've enjoyed titles like hotline miami 1 and 2 like me, and to any stealth enjoyer who likes realism.
Graphics, gunplay, in depth stealth, gun customization, great enemy ai, story, progression system, choices. This game wasn't afraid to do everything at once and it managed beautifully. 10/10 on all fronts.
I dont remember the last time a game captured me and held me hostage like sean's dad like this one did.
I will definetly try a slightly stealthier approach in NG+.

sounds like you preferred vietcong esque "stealth", hit and runs and such. yeah, the stealth is deep, flexible, and most importantly "loud" stealth is very much a thiing.

glad you enjoyed the game

The game seems great, currently playing Police Stories, also really fun, seems kind of similar.
Wish i could afford to buy this right now but bought 3 other indies + one full price game this month.

I agree 100%. I'm very picky when it comes to my stealth games and stealth mechanics. But Intravenous 2 handled it perfectly. When Splinter Cell first came out and you could shoot out lights, I thought we'd see that in most games going forward...
