Developers had a vision, a vision that would never be fully realized. But that vision is clear, and if you pay attention; Choosing to seize from your constant whining about feeling nauseous about the camera movement and janky gameplay, you'll see that vision. I understand the frustrations of many; I stand by every notion that states the issues this game has. But to call it a terrible game is short-sighted. Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither was Kane & Lynch 2. With more time to properly be cooked in the oven, we could've had a phenomenal game on our hands. K&L2 depicts life of crime in a really grim and depressing way. It's not glorious or romantic. It's dirty, it's insane and it's vile. We are playing as two irredeemable psychopaths and the game tries to make no excuses for them. The story is way too short to warrant the full price the game was sold for, but the online content is definitely worth looking into. Too bad in the current day, no one is playing. Because arguably the heist mode of Kane & Lynch 2, known as Fragile Alliance, is a far more interesting game of heist than Payday games ever managed to be.

Murphy's Law is applied really well in this game. There isn't a single time to stop and think, all but a fast downfall for the duo. And if things get better, they'll just get worse down the line.

Like a survival game of sorts, everything is against you. The camera, enemies, story and even the shooting mechanics.
