Evil Genius

One of the first games I remember playing until well past midnight when it was released. That was when I had to use a CD to launch the game. Picking it up on Steam, the idea was to revisit those memories of good times gone. Instead I end up with frequent CTDs. And I forgot how annoying it is to get money. I'm sure there's a patch that will fix this game for modern systems. But that point of friction alongside the cash issue makes this game sit in the purgatory space of my library to be forgotten.

So campy and fun. I remember playing this game to death when I had the CD-ROM version and I've played the Steam version even more than that. That said, I cannot recommend the use of guides and the unofficial patch enough, as this game can be obtuse at times and straight up broken at others. When it's working on a technical level, though, you will find a game with a ton of style, humor, and replayability.

Building a secret volcano lair has never felt more right. Evil Genius scratches that supervillain itch in a way nothing else really does: managing your minions, setting up traps and watching secret agents stumble into your elaborate death rooms is genuinely satisfying. It's not perfect and the pacing can drag a bit mid game. This game is lowkey a hidden gem that deserves way more attention than it gets. If you've ever wanted to live out your world domination fantasy while micromanaging a bunch of hapless henchmen, this is it chief. [b][8/10][/b]

It is a very unique concept it is done very well the humor is very on point and is filled with tiny details Certainly a game that will let you flex your creative muscles have a bit of malign fun and still holds up despite its age. Truly A game that I hope receives a successor one day (Looks over shoulder) A different successor

OLD SCHOOL, but I like it! [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/28820007] Recommendations [/url] [url=https://www.youtube.com/@kreatorb] YouTube [/url] [url=https://www.tiktok.com/@iplaykreatorb] TikTok [/url]

A Classic That Still Holds Up Even after all these years and what feels like millions of games released since Evil Genius first launched, this game still delivers. Even in 2026, I genuinely think the original Evil Genius deserves a place on every gamer's list. It's one of those games that has a unique charm that modern games just don't quite replicate. If you've never played it, you're seriously missing out. It's incredibly fun, has plenty of personality, and is the kind of game you can easily lose hours to. If you haven't played the original Evil Genius, definitely grab it when you get the chance.

Sadly enough 2 did not cut it
