Intravenous 2 Review

Aug 30, 2024

The first Intravenous is an overlooked masterpiece, I only wish I had found it sooner. Once I did, it wasn’t long before I bought and had to pick-up my jaw off the floor with how intricate and detailed it was in and around its stealth. Playing the first game just blew my mind, it was everything I wanted a stealth game to be, and more. Developer Explosive Squat Games admittedly draws inspiration from “Splinter Cell, Dishonored, Deus Ex, Insurgency, and ArmA“. That’s a wide swath of games from stealth to immersive sims to military sims, and you know what? It absolutely works, every part of it. The sequel is the first game, cranked up to eleven, and offers everything a sequel should be. Intravenous 2 is deep and rewarding, and in order to satiate yourself you’ll wish you could inject it straight into your veins it’s so good.
