Intravenous 2

You did your dad more than proud Roman... This is hands down one of the best stealth/action titles I've ever played. I would put this up there with the GOATs like Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, MGS3 and the Hitman series. This game is simply a pleasure for anyone who considers themselves a fan of the genre. I find the dynamism that came from the mainline Sean missions and the side Steve missions to excellent. I personally like to play the Sean missions full stealth while going commando/rambo mode in Steve missions. It helps to mix up gameplay so that you arenʻt just doing the same thing back to back. The audio design, the astounding music, the graphics, the little details of casing, blood and debris flying everywhere in gunfights, it makes for a supreme experience. This game doesnʻt have the ultraviolence of Hotline Miami (as much as I wish it did because it would make this game 10x better) but it definitely has superior gameplay mechanics. The shooting and movement feels tactical ...

Spoiler. I refunded this game after 84 minutes. But I would still recommend playing, with a few warnings to the buyer. This game plays well. It runs smooth and all actions are responsive. The graphics aren't anything special, but every item is recognizable as to its form and function. The gunplay feels rewarding, and there are some neat details (reload a haf full magazine, and youll have to pick up the ammo you just dropped on the ground). It seems like there is a good character progression, and weapons customization. That being said. This game is brutally difficult (playing on normal). I am a casual gamer, and couldn't make it past the second level (before giving up in frustration). It could just be me, but I could not get the stealth aspect to work, and both maps turned into frantic gunfights almost instantly, with intelligent enemies which will really mess your day up. This is a well made game, that is not for me difficulty wise. But if you want a well made game with th...

If Hotline Miami and Splinter Cell would make a baby it would be Intravenous I + II. This is a hidden gem on the Steam market that deserves way more attention. The game delivers amazing level design with plenty of replay value. There is a huge variety of weapons, gadgets and equipment, allowing for a wide range of playstyles. You can go in guns blazing, making every encounter a high-adrenaline shootout, or you can slip through the shadows and remain completely unseen from start to finish. Both approaches feel rewarding and well balanced. I had tons of fun playing through it and experimenting with different tactics. If you enjoy tense stealth gameplay or chaotic fast paced action, Intravenous 2 is an absolute must play. I can highly recommend buying this game! Worth every cent.

Intravenous 2 is a distinctive visual novel that delves into dark, mature themes with a hauntingly atmospheric narrative and deeply psychological undertones. Developed by the indie creator Team Intravenous, this sequel builds upon the unsettling foundation of its predecessor by offering players an intense and immersive story experience that explores the complexities of human consciousness, identity, and trauma. Far from being a conventional visual novel, Intravenous 2 challenges players with its eerie storytelling style, minimalist art, and thought-provoking subject matter. The narrative of Intravenous 2 unfolds in a non-linear, often abstract manner, reflecting the fragmented mental state of the protagonist. The game revolves around themes of inner turmoil, memory loss, and the search for self amidst an overwhelming sense of dread. Unlike many visual novels that rely on dialogue-heavy storytelling, Intravenous 2 uses a blend of sparse text, surreal imagery, and symbolic audio cues to...

Well made action-stealth game with a solid enough plot. Would be a ten out of ten if Steve and Sean kissed at the end.

Map design is so bad in this game, that it needs good save system as air. But it hasn't that either. You can't see far, so you can't plan ahead. You feel like blind mouse constantly. Controls far from good also. This game try to be Hitman, but faild that task miserably. i strongly do not recommend this game.

It's pretty good. As other reviewers have mentioned, its worst flaw is the elements that are very hard to translate from 3D to 2D. You will be bumping on obstacles you thought were floor dressing, seen through things you thought were walls, etc. The writing is also pretty goofy. I don't think it's supposed to be goofy. It comes off as a really juvenile right-wing vigilante power fantasy written by a 17 year old gun enthusiast. Hitman characters condemn arms dealers for selling to gangs, you're discouraged from killing cops. Kind of reeks of flyover state American default ideology. If you can get past those two things it's a pretty solid stealth Hotline Miami with a nice amount of gun customization. The steam workshop is one of the less developed ones compared to say, Rimworld. So don't factor mods into your decision to purchase. Get it on sale probably.

Fantastic game. Not usually the kind of game I enjoy, but this one was done exceptionally. Works fantastically on the Steam Deck as well.

[h1] TL;DR: [/h1] Best Stealth game in a long time. Highly recommend if you like stealth games or tactical shooters. [h2] Gameplay [/h2] Reminded me a fair bit of splinter cell and a tad hotline miami. You have a lot of options and routes to get the job done and the combat is fast and loud. Shoot out lights, hide in closets, crawl under bushes, hide bodies, you get your normal tricks of the trade but there is usually a twist with lighting and sound. The A.I. is surprisingly competent, especially on the true difficulty (which I recommend). Instead of the higher difficulty being artificial it instead takes the training wheels off of the A.I. and lets them react to you better. Bodies will make noise when they fall unconscious and hit the ground, just like in real life. Knocking someone unconscious is louder than putting a knife in their throat, but you'll leave a blood trail if you need to move the body. Guards will notice missing guards and start looking for them. It creates a non-artif...

Buy this game! New Game +! All of the combat music in the OST goes hard! Each gun feels unique, before and after the impactful customization. The story, though simple, is heart warming and serves it's purpose. The level design is excellent. The difficulty? Chef's kiss! None of that 'enemies have more health and deal more damage' arbitrary garbage; it's everyone does more damage and enemies notice when people go missing. Both DLCs are absolutely worth the money, so much so I'd recommend getting the IV1 Remaster over the original game. Buy this game!
