Blood 2: The Blood Group

Great game, but there are a few issues. It's difficult to run on modern systems. To get it to launch, I spent 2 hours trying out different third-party patches and fiddling with my system settings. Eventually I got it working to a state where it has frequent visual glitches but is at least playable. Gameplay doesn't feel as good as the first one. Graphics are better and it's true 3D, but something about the way guns and enemies react feels slightly off. Especially the shotgun, which feels more like a toy than a powerhouse. It's alright, just not amazing like Blood 1. It felt like the developers left everything unfinished. After reading more about the development, turns out this actually was the case. Even with all the issues, I enjoyed the story and cutscenes more than the first one. The characters were better fleshed out and the dialogue is funny. Overall, don't get it unless you're willing to invest substantial time into getting this thing to run and putting up with the shortcomings. Needs a remaster with significant gameplay rebalancing.

Blood 2 is a great game, unfortunately the version on GOG requires you to download a couple of other fixes to be able to play it properly. Nothing hard tho, and definitely worth it

Yes its not the original but its fun. It doesn't take itself serious and the story is silly but its fun. People need to stop overthinking this. Redneck rampage, Postal and Duke are just as pointless but many play those

I remember playing Blood 2 back in 2002 (so it's been more than a decade then) for a few levels and do take note that I haven't played the original ever until I bought both the 1st and 2nd game from GOG.com recently. Now that I've got Blood 2 again + the expansion, I've enjoyed playing the game again from start to finish. The level of the game may not be from the likes of HALF-LIFE / UNREAL by the time the game was released, but this game is good to kill a couple of hour's time. The only things that warrant this game a 3/5 stars are the frequent crashes whenever I select a higher resolution, especially the expansion whenever I get to play Gabriella, the game crashes before the cutscene itself and the lack of a proper ending. The only thing that prevents most crashes is to set compatibility to Windows 95/98, running the game as administrator and disabling visual themes and desktop composition. The good: + Full 3D levels compared to the 1st game + More weapons (albeit some are gimmicky) The bad: - Frequent crashes - Missing humor from the 1st game - Less than 10 levels for the NIGHTMARE LEVELS

Well played gog.com . The screnshot nº 4 made me laugh a lot. XP And the game was one of my favourites. "Neveeer moooreee"
