I really think this game deserves an award for the most suicidal player character in a video game
Expand the review
it's rage inducing, and also strangely calming. it handles extremely sensitive themes involving guns and mental health really really well. it may not be a replacement for therapy, but it's definitely cheaper than therapy.

Came here for a gun simulator stealth game, didn't expect a mental health lesson.

I can't recommend Receiver II enough. It's the one game I can point to that is MORE likely than less likely to have maybe actually saved someone's life and in more ways than one. I typically review scripts in my reviews, and I'm going to here as well, it's got a strong script, but the gameplay philosophy behind the game so deeply ties into its working narrative that the two simply cannot be discussed separately. Receiver II is a game that is pretending, initially, to be a conspiracy thriller game. You find yourself in a realistic setting with video gaming's most realistic gun ever and you are tasked with finding and "receiving" audio cassette tapes, each of which contains recorded instructions on how to further wake from a dream you've been subjected to. The organization you are receiving these instructions from carries with it a shade of the sinister. Or rather- the lack of understanding you start with does. Because, and mild spoiler alert here, the more you come into contact with these tapes, the more you "receive", the more you realize that the organization is unreservedly good in basically every acknowledgeable aspect. Dedicated to truth, dedicated to freedom, and to personal responsibility and personal growth. What makes them appear sinister at first is the simple fact that you do not understand them, and the Receivers are encouraging you at every turn to lean on your own understanding and make your own informed decisions and judgments. So the conspiratorial nature of the game is still shrouded in mystery. So if I'm learning more as I continue to receive, what am I learning? The answer is- you're learning to question your environment. All of a sudden, these realistic settings make no sense. It seemed fine that a warehouse linked effortlessly into a gallery exhibition. You weren't thinking about it until it seemed to share the exact same space as a metropolitan apartment. The moment you question it, the less sense it makes. You, and the rest of the world, are being assailed by something called The Threat, and it is keeping you confused, upset, and cynical. Unlike the amoral Matrix, the Threat is a directly malevolent entity that seeks your suffering, seeks to break the world in half. Why? Doesn't matter, it demonstrably IS. And the theme is resting on what you can observe. In these tapes, you will find real, actionable advice on how to improve your life with no leaning one way or another for political or artistic purposes. Observable reality is the key focus here. "Maintain optimal effort" means not burning yourself out (which will make you LESS productive) but also keeping your mind focused and honed. Trauma is not a political term here, it is a description of a negative event that has permanently altered your behavior. Here's how you deal with it. But what's more- Here is how to operate a gun SAFELY. Not drawn in by the jingoistic recklessness that defines "pro-gun", not driven in by the learned helplessness that defines "anti-gun". A gun is an exceptionally dangerous thing that could save your life if used properly. So here's how. The game is a realistic gun simulator. Every aspect of the gun is individually simulated. There is no reload button, but there are commands to eject the magazine, insert and extrude bullets from it, place it back inside the gun, rack the slide, and inspect the chamber. And you can fuck up ANY one of these steps in a multitude of realistic and significantly dangerous ways. You are just as much a danger to yourself as any of the enemies The Threat has placed in front of you. Especially when you reach the "trapped tapes", which is a gameplay experience so profound you couldn't pay me to spoil it for you. But, as any trial in life, it may be worth doing despite the danger involved, and the key to overcoming danger is learning about it. Expanding your knowledge. And best of all, this game makes that expanding of knowledge fun- which could have been the entire review by itself. With themes of gun safety, self-preservation, self-improvement, common understanding of your fellow man, and a striking throughline of the realities of suicide, we don't know how many lives that Receiver II has saved and we never will. The answer could be zero. But the answer could, just as easily, be one or more.

Speedcleared a jam, shot down three taser drones, ran past an armored ceiling turret and dodged every shot, grabbed the last tape I needed underneath it, and got to safety in less than 15 seconds. I then, out of instinct, holstered my glock to reload a magazine and shot myself in the leg, killing me instantly. Brilliant. Cannot recommend more.
