While we wait for GTA VI, Hood Warfare 2 arrived on video gaming platform Steam earlier this month and has since taken over social media.
Designed by independent game developer Trapstar Games, Hood Warfare 2 positions fictional Chicago gangs against each other. The game also pulls from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare with mode names, including Turf War, GangBang, Hit a Lick and more, while characters can venture to the downtown area, the suburbs and other locations. According to Insider Gaming, Hood Warfare has peaked at 4,491 players and has 74% positive reviews. First priced at $5.99, Steam is currently running a introductory ten percent discount on the game.
The game has met with some criticism for indulging in stereotypes and reducing Black communities in Chicago to gang violence.
