Set in the early 2000s, the game casts you as an outlaw seeking a new life on Isla Sombra. Build a drug-dealing operation in a first-person open world, alone or with up to two other players.
Gather ingredients, buy or produce drugs, and process, mix, or purify them to make stock for customers. Take orders, make deliveries, and set up hideouts and labs with equipment and furnishings.
Grow the operation by making contacts, unlocking new areas and products, and hiring staff such as dealers, distributors, and lab technicians. Manage supplies, money, and regional reputation while choosing whether to avoid or confront hostile groups and law enforcement.
The supplied reviews are mixed. Players who enjoy the game often point to the satisfaction of growing a small operation through production, hiring, and business management, along with the island setting and co-op play. Many critical reviews instead describe the experience as less polished or engaging than the first game, with bugs, lengthy travel, and confusing menus or systems getting in the way.
