Grezzo 2is a first-person shooter video game developed by Italian game designer Nicola Piro and released in 2012. The game is a total conversion modification of the 1993 video game Doom and its development began in the early 2000s, with the version called Grezzo 1, when Nicola Piro attended high school. The plot follows the adventure of pagan farmer Piro which, annoyed and disgusted by Christianity, plans to kill Jesus Christ to prevent the rise of his religious phenomenon. Gameplay requires the player to face various levels, defeating enemies and bosses and using a wide range of weapons. Many well-known personalities of the culture of Italy appear in the game, as well as references to extremely satirized social, political and religious issues of the country. Following the 2012 release, Grezzo 2 received significant attention, both inside and outside of its country of origin, due to its extremely blasphemous, vulgar and violent content.

Most shock games are pretty predictable at this point. You've seen South Park, you've played Postal. That kind of thing is why Eggwife was kinda disappointing, it didn't go any further than I expected it to. Grezzodue is not that. Grezzodue is the first game in a long time that I had to play only after making sure nobody else was home. I am 23 years old and my parents have seen me play postal 2. It's great. It's exactly the kind of dumb shit I would have made if I was 14 and surprisingly good at designing levels. Some of this is lost on me because I'm not Italian but I have played Blood so I understood about 90% of this game I think.

I grew up in Italy, it really helps with understanding all underlying references to Italian pop culture. The game is simply trying to be as offensive (and blaspheme, most importantly) as possible, and captured a certain common way of thinking within young Italians and the milieu of the internet culture at that point. The game is quite hard at the boss fights, for even Matteo Montesi managed to kick my ass and he's the first boss you encounter.

i could not comprehend a single thing that happened during my entire playthrough of this doom wad, i legit felt like i was being labotomized during this whole thing
