Evil Genius 2: World Domination

good

[hr][/hr] [h2]Evil Genius 1 was my childhood. This is... fine.[/h2] I grew up playing the original Evil Genius. Building the perfect lair, torturing agents, world domination — it was pure fun. So when this came out, I had high hopes. Evil Genius 2 is a solid follow-up. The core loop is fun: build your base, train your minions, execute operations. It's noticeably less hardcore than the first game, which honestly isn't a bad thing — EG1 could be brutally unforgiving. This one is more accessible, and there's something genuinely satisfying about the dopamine loop of sending minions on missions and watching the chaos unfold. [b]The problems:[/b] The fun starts to wear thin once you've built your base. You can only pursue one side objective at a time, many of them repeat, and you end up just... waiting. The end game feels unbalanced — power management becomes a chore and the minion economy gets frustrating. Controls still feel floaty, which is hard to excuse years after launch. [b]The elephant in the room:[/b] The game feels abandoned. No mod support, no meaningful updates. A lot of potential left on the table. [b]Bottom line:[/b] If you loved EG1 as a kid, you'll enjoy the nostalgia trip. Just don't expect it to fully recapture that magic.

三块钱澳币买的游戏 物超所值非常好玩 但是千万不要建造机器人手下 这些机器人死时候会爆炸而且还会让你的设施着火非常麻烦

好玩 但有點耗時間

I love all the cartoony villain antics. I hope there will be a third game.

Shame there are no neutral reviews. It's a nice game, which has improved on the original in a lot of ways: fewer bugs, more mechanics, more quality-of-life features. But it doesn't live up to its predecessor's humour! Torturing enemy agents by moonwalk and singing "heee-heee"? Nope. Stuffing them into science devices (probably) built for an entirely different purpose? Sadly, no. Sure, you can put them in traps now, but the animations are exactly the same as if the trap were triggered normally. Yawn... Currently, I've played around 12 hours on my playthrough and I've only found two pieces of (boring) loot. Reading the heist descriptions is also not as fun as it was in part 1, everything is just a boring box to tick. Plus, I'm playing on medium difficulty and I've never been in a real situation where red alert was warranted. So yeah, it's fine, but doesn't live up to expectations...
