Easy Red 2 Reviews

Incredible gameplay depth and endless re-playability. Unbelievable value for the price you pay!

This game is awesome, and something to sink hours into if you're a WW2 fan or just want some old-fashioned FPS fun: Positives: +Gunplay is good. Weapons are snappy and era-appropriate reloads, which even HLL messes up at times +Maps are huge and varied +Collecting Gold dog tags gives me a reason to go back and play Campaigns again +LOTS of guns, equipment, and vehicles. It really is a WW2 Toybox +Inventory system is awesome. You can take guns, ammo, supplies as you need them from enemy or friendly troops Negatives/Areas of Improvement: -The AI; Planes, arty, and tanks will spot you very quickly and drop you fast, even through trees and foliage. -3rd Person is a little wonky and even controls a little stiff -Tanks and Aircraft are a little clunky, but work overall -Heavier weapons don't really meet their IRL counterparts. An Early War T34 or M3 is NOT taking a direct hit from a Tiger and walking it off. Overall, the game is great, and some of the most fun I've had in a game. What I would love to see: -Loadout Customization. Either specific factions for Campaigns or the 'player' to allow me to play with all the toys. Maybe moving the dog tags to that feature, so to use guns/equipment from that Campaign, you have to find the dog tags to add to your pool? -It's not very clear when you're the attacker on how close you are to being done. Sometimes you can tell, by how the map is designed, other times you think it's done and there's still more to cover. Not a bad thing, but a little more direction on that.

Fun ww2 sandbox. The UI and audio are the only real let downs but I can live with that. Runs great on the Steam Deck as well. Only issue is that settings appear to sync between the deck and my pc. I would like to have separate graphics settings for each platform but it still runs fine with the settings I have on my pc all things considered.

The game is nice and all but it has one fatal flaw. The enemy is far to percise to make the game fun at all. I just spent the last 3 hours spawning in, only to die before I could get my bearings. Less then 1 second and my team gets wiped out. This does not make for a fun game. I switched positions and even selected armored units. the first thing that hapens, is enemy artillary instantly wipes out the tank before the engine can even be started, or enemy snipers perfectly wipe out your team in one flawless moment. why play a game where you don't get the chance to play. I'm done

The enemy AI tanks are completely broken. They’ll destroy your tank from across the map the moment you spawn. In one of the campaign missions, the devs even throw three tanks at you while giving you no anti-tank weapons or vehicles to counter them. They just roam the map freely, wiping out your team with no way to stop them. The level feels impossible to beat. It’s a cool game, but some of the mission design just doesn't seem well thought out.

This is the dream game I have always wanted. Large scale WW2 battles with lots of AI and vehicles, with plenty of freedom! The editor on offer is incredibly powerful and basically make this a platform for making any battle you could imagine. Truly and insane amount of content covering all the front of WW2 and modders are adding in tons more. And it's dirt cheap!

A fun, laidback lower graphic WW2 game with a Steam Workshop, Map editor and a ton of classes and vehicles to use. you'll find this much more appealing if you're looking for something that's not too Arcadey or too Realistic and simple that anyone can pick it up, the main draw is the destructible environments like Battlefield and the swap to any class mid battle. Game has a ton of historic battles which can be played on any side and AI could use some work as they're either standing still to be shot or straight up aimbot. Devs are constantly taking community suggestions and feedback and showing off what they have in the works. For £4 right now in the summer sale it's a steal.

If you can tolerate some jank, it's great. No grinding, no season passes - just solid old school fun, and the occasional war crime.

At first the jank had me thinking I'd been conned but then I started to get the hang of things and tweaked some settings and this is at least for me the funnest WW2 game I've ever played. Beats Arma 3 by miles as far as offline goes, and there's vehicle combat with all sorts of different tanks and planes and I just can't believe how fun it is for the price. Tons of missions as well DLC is definitely worth getting. There's an inventory system so if your helmet gets blown off you'll want to grab another one real quick, cans of tuna act as health kits and bandages are for bullet wounds, medics get a minigame of choosing the correct tool to administer aid to fallen soldiers (of either side) and you can drag injured soldiers to safety. You can swap roles but choosing different team mates or by grabbing the items for the role you want to play. I found myself surviving as a tanker and then swapping out to medic supplies and combat gear and surviving entire missions just changing support roles. Vehicle combat is fun, surprisingly polished too pretty decent physics, ammo selection, different armaments like the MG or the rockets on the calliope can be used. Aircraft land or leave the combat area to restock bombs and ammo and there's first and third person for everything although you can't go into sights/scopes from third person when you're on foot you have to swap back to first person if you want to zoom all the way in. Just insanely fun, tons of options to customize the experience as well. Highly recommend if you want a fun game and don't mind some quirks.

If you're debating getting this game and aren't sure here's some questions I had before i got it: "Is this a milsim?" --- No, well, sorta, its much more arcade-y gameplay but you can bleed if you get shot "Is this game multiplayer?" --- Yes but not mainly, single player is the main mode of the game and there's multiplayer as a addition. "Is this game hard to run?" --- No, Its well optimised and has enough settings to tweak to make your head spin. "Is this like call of duty?" --- Think more like Battlefield but in single player where you spend multiple missions fighting across a massive map, Its alot like it's own sorta thing haven't seen other games like this really. "Whats with all the dlcs?" --- Don't worry this isn't enlisted, they are more like map packs that each add hours of content and new weapons/equipment, they also add free campaigns every time a new one comes out. "This game looks like shit." --- Its a unity game made by a very small studio of like 5 people with a small budget and the screenshots and videos are outdated, at the time of me typing this they are recreating every map to be of a much higher quality. "Why does everybody call this single player enlisted on youtube?" --- The gameplay is pretty simular, just with smarter bots and with missions during huge battle instead. "Should I buy this if I dont like milsims?" --- Yeah, totally. It looks jarring but its easy to figure out and its nothing like arma or games like that. "eveyone says the ai is terrible" --- The devs are trying to fix it right now and any review before 2025 had the game having different ai then it does now, you can always refund it before two hours if you find it that bad. uhh yeah try out the game i ended up loving it and ive been playing since 2023 so whatca got to loose
