Kane and lynch 2 dog days torture full#

Lynch is a far more rounded character in this game, not really being well detailed in the one prior. For some reason, he has a distinct lack of character in the sequel. He was the only character in Kane & Lynch: Dead Men to have a real back-story. Kane is an incredibly fussy prick who cares only for money, with the flimsy excuse that he has a daughter who he was never there for. I found myself only loosely connected to the main characters, who have all the personality of garden peas. Kane and Lynch are so pathetic that I want them to succeed not out of compassion, but out of pity for them.Do I want the good guys in Dog Days to succeed, though? That question cannot be answered, because: To put up with these annoying staples, games of this ilk require tight controls and exciting gameplay to keep the gamer interested, as well as amazing characters and situations where they indeed want the good guys to succeed. Meanwhilst you frantically scramble into cover like a shivering wreck, from which you can still be shot by the inhumanly capable AI.

Enemies spawn and run in, guns firing at your main player character with full intent to make you bleed. But even if Io Interactive is aware of how accurately they have described the downfall of the action shooter, this does not make the act of such ugly, cold-blooded execution forgivable.ĭog Days remains the same thing through and through, and through and through, and through and through and through. If this is what Dog Days has set out to do, then well done.

I am absolutely glad that there is a game that exaggerates every little detail of what has brought the games industry to its untimely death. In this previously nerd-exclusive industry, violence has become commonplace and blood is spilled by the pint. Being brutally visceral and disgusting, Dog Days is clever, whether intentionally or unintentionally so. Gore-feast Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days suits this category the same way the perfect cup of coffee suits Dale Cooper. Even delicious violence can become moreish and sickening.
