Easy Red 2 Reviews

AI is terrible, vehicles can barely move in a group god forbid fight

The physics in Easy Red feel incredibly outdated, which really hurts immersion. The ragdoll system is stiff and unnatural—when enemies die, they just drop like lifeless mannequins, with no weight or reaction to the environment. Explosions barely move them, and their bodies don’t interact realistically with their surroundings. It feels static, like an old arcade shooter rather than a gritty, realistic war game. Another major issue is how dead bodies behave. In Source games, bodies react dynamically even after death—you can see them shift if hit by bullets or explosions, adding to the realism. In Easy Red, corpses are completely static and non-interactive. If an enemy dies in a prone position, they stay frozen like a prop, immune to further gunfire or environmental effects. This lack of physics makes the battlefield feel artificial and outdated. The blood FX are also underwhelming. There’s no real impact when you shoot an enemy—no satisfying particle effects, sprays, or visual feedback that make gunfights feel brutal and intense. For a game that aims for realism, these effects feel like a step backward, lacking the detail even older games nailed years ago. If these issues were fixed, the game would feel much more immersive. Proper ragdoll physics would make deaths more dynamic, adding weight and impact to firefights. Interactive bodies would make the battlefield feel more alive and reactive, while improved blood FX would enhance the brutality and realism of combat. Right now, these outdated mechanics hold the game back from reaching its full potential.

As a game, this is very entertaining. Low requirement for system and great gameplay!

Great Game, its worth to buy it and worth to support developers like Marco Amadei which proofs that you don't need to be big studio to create great games.

This simple game is one of the best WW2 games out now. It s fun and mission editor is just what i wanted. With own mapmeking tools And only 16 euros with all DLC.s.

One of the best shooters of the Second World War with a campaign mode of many hours of content and with many scenarios including the South Pacific, unlike other shooters of the same theme you can also play with Italy and France, graphically the game is correct and is well optimized, the fact of being able to collect objects from dead soldiers gives it a greater realism, the AI is superior to other titles like Enlisted although it can be improved further if possible, personally I think it would be interesting to include an extra difficulty mode making the AI even more “professional”. I've been playing it for a few weeks but it has already become one of my favorite war shooters, the creator of the game updates it very frequently and takes into account the suggestions and reports from the community, the price is very competitive and offers more than the big companies, to put a downside the sound of the explosions does not reach the immersive levels of Squad 44, but considering the involvement of its creator sure that sooner or later it will improve. Highly recommended.

Infinite fun. I bought the base game and all the DLCs but what's special is that the developers care, the mods are fun, and there's so much content in this game. I don't have any complaints.

Easy Red 2 delivers on the massive battles, authentic gear and weapons, but damn it, the AI is braindead, so your own squad is a liability (and you only have limited command over them anyway), and the SP campaigns just aren't fun to fight because you're just mowing down dumb bots. The casualty treatment system is barely there because 99% of the time, a guy is just killed outright. If treating casualties was tied to preventing ticket loss, even if the trooper in question didn't get back into the fight, it would be much cooler - just like tank crews already get the goal of retreating if they lose their tanks. The maps are also fairly sparse outside of objective areas, so trying to find a covered approach is both vital and hard. The artillery system not really working doesn't help either. If these issues were resolved, I'd recommend this game in a heartbeat.

For a project made by a small dev team this game has quite a lot in it. Feels very much like a simulator version of Battlefield 1942. Turn on realistic difficulty in the campaign menu for a much faster TTK, similar to games like Hell Let Loose. Frequent updates and new content drops keep things fresh and the devs are very open to feedback. There's some jank in it but never enough to ruin the experience. Highly recommend it (clearly I've spent enough time in it).

Fantastic game! It takes those epic moments of playing BF1942 with mods and bots, and multiplies it by a factor of 100. The dev is really on top of this project and there is a constant release of new maps and factions. I hope this game continues to recieve support, because it has the potential of including a lot more factions and campaigns. It is a game worth buying just to support the development.
