Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days - Complete Edition

Not a game for everyone, but some people like myself will definitely enfoy it

It's a game that deliberately tries to be as ugly as possible, in its aesthetic, gameplay, I mean everything... there's a freaking scene where people get tortured by getting cut with a box cutter and a woman gets raped and skinned alive, does that sound like something worth your time? I don't know. I just don't know if I should commend a game for doing ugly, really, really well. I was just left after the entire experience with the feeling of, What was the point of it all? You know?

Skip the first and just play this one and yeah it's worth it. I do think they still tried way too much to humanize the characters, and thus stripped away part of the game's strength which is that these are not good people (I always wondered if Lynch was having paradoxical Xanax rage reactions like Travis the Chimp, since it'd also make sense why he was blacking out and the meds caused, not treated, his issues). I think its overall fun factor is pretty good, although they still should've spent more time emphasizing what damaged, horrible people these were to make it more fun and interesting experience than even to pretend these are like normal action hero American capecringe protagonists, and the idea that Lynch would really do all these things to avenge some gf after he murdered his own wife, rather than him simply Fing up and everything happening because they're incompetent, is a bit unbelievable. The no health bar is refreshing, odd to be able to headshot/get headshotted and get back up but whatever it'd be infuriating to play this game on any closer to realistic difficulty. Has a bit of a good Hardboiled-meets-Cloverfield aesthetic going on. I dig it. DON'T turn off motion/headbob things for this one; that's part of the point, and I do think it's a heavy aesthetic choice but it certainly works to me but ymmv. Also surprisingly intensive at 1440p in retrospect, I was surprised it made my graphics card warm iirc but obviously this old a 1050ti at 1080p is more than enough all ultra and it looks really good for how old it is. All in all, and saying this as NOT a fan of shooters and someone that hates most shooters, I'm glad I got this. A very fun game, real effort at creating art. Maybe a 4.5/5, I'm shocked I didn't hear about this game before.

Why dump them on a plane? Do they think they will get a drink and land safely on the other end of the flight lol?
