Get personalized picks →Receiver 2 is an action-simulation hybrid from Wolfire Games that challenges players with meticulous gun-handling mechanics. Every firearm is modeled down to its internal components, requiring manual chambering, reloading procedures, and malfunction clearing. The solo campaign features procedural enemy placement, making each encounter unpredictable. Players describe the experience as atmospheric and stressful, with one-shot kills forcing careful tactical planning rather than run-and-gun approaches. Reviewers highlight the uniquely realistic gun-handling as the primary draw, while some note the tapes blend gun safety with mental health themes in unexpected ways. Environmental interaction and ammunition conservation are essential survival skills. Released in 2020 at 19.99 USD, it runs in playable condition on Steam Deck. The game has earned a 91 percent positive rating from over 2,400 Steam reviews.
