Easy Red 2 is an awesome sandbox indie game that feels a bit like Hell Let Loose but more on the arcade side with incredible scale at times.

It's got various single-player campaigns for the different factions/countries with epic scale battles. There's a ton of variety with different armies/countries, unit types, squad classes, weapons and vehicles, so you never get bored and can switch up your play style at any time. If you're into big, diverse battles, this game is a blast!

Just beware of the AI. Sometimes they seem to act quite intelligently, attacking objectives by advancing from cover to cover, supporting each other with cover fire and reviving and healing wounded soldiers, pushing objectives hard as they're about to be lost and even calling in support such as tanks and artillery over radio's. However, sometimes they just seem to break entirely, usually when you set the population to as big as a map allows and usually the defending team. They will sometimes just stand in a big clump out in the open and fail to shoot enemies up close or cap objectives at all.

Their aim is also very inconsistent and they seem to prioritise targeting the player. They either cant hit you point blank or can blow your head off from across the map the second you stand up, despite there being 50 targets closer to them than you etc.

Still I highly recommend for anyone looking for a game where you can jump in and have immediate fun.

Also, you can capture enemy soldiers and then commit warcrimes with POW's so that's pretty cool.
