A really chill grappling climb your way up type game. Wouldve gladly paid a few bucks for it. A steal for free.

Entropy is a chaotic, open-world fever dream set in an alternate-history version of Stalingrad. A brutal, broken land under the iron grip of the axis. But don’t let the grim setting fool you: this game is an absolute blast. Literally. The explosions in Entropy are, without exaggeration, some of the most satisfying I’ve ever seen in a video game.

Toss a grenade into a convoy and watch it detonate in a chain reaction of fuel tanks, enemy screams, and shrapnel. Strap C4 to a jeep, drive it into a fortress, and detonate it mid-air. Call in a mortar strike and watch half the hillside erupt in fire. Everything in this game feels built to explode, and it never gets old. The visual effects, the sound design, the way the environment reacts, it’s pyrotechnic perfection.

The core gameplay loop is built around freedom of approach. You want to sneak into an outpost and silently neutralize everyone? You can. But why would you, when you can ride in on an elephant strapped with dynamite and blow the place sky-high?

Entropy knows its strengths, and it leans into them hard. The world is big and beautiful, but it’s also a sandbox full of flammable materials just begging for chaos. You'll find yourself blowing up guard towers just because they exist. Enemy helicopters? Shoot them down and enjoy the fireball as they spiral into a truck full of reinforcements. Also the explosions in this game are peak.

And then there’s Heinrich Himmler, the dictator of Stalingrad. He’s cold, composed, and utterly despicable, but even his heavily fortified propaganda centers can’t withstand the righteous power of a well placed rocket launcher. Watching one of his statues collapse into rubble after a carefully orchestrated explosive assault is one of the most cathartic moments in the game.

Co-op only amplifies the madness. There’s something deeply bonding about setting charges with a friend, counting down, and watching a military base light up like the Fourth of July in Hell. Every vehicle, every outpost, every mission is an opportunity to turn the volume up to BOOM!!1!
