Evil Genius 2: World Domination

This is a classic example of how not to make a game. It's a Minimum Viable Product; a lazy version of "What is the absolute least amount of effort we can expend while still legally being able to charge £40 for it?" The fact that it is still on sale at full price only reinforces this. You can keep your CBE's, they didn't help you make a decent game, Rebellion.

how do you release a sequel with worse pathfinding than a game that came out 2 decades ago? if you cant control your minions directly, there needs to be some kind of logic to direct them to stay in hallways instead of walking through multiple doors because "the path has less tiles." Thats seriously your logic for pathfinding, distance ... in a game where you're essentially designing a maze. this game makes me hate video games and developers more than I do at bethesda. At least their excuse is being too big to not be greedy scumbags, so whats yours?

This game was fun at first but the further you get into it the more you observe the lazy game design. 1. Mobs of investigators and soldiers just come through the same entrance over and over. 2. World map is too needy. 3. A lot of copy and paste side quests. 4. Some units are pretty bugged and don't offer enough control over. Only worth it on a super special... Unforunately they missed the mark on this one. Farily fun but not recommended. 6/10.

Beginning has a good pace, but the mid to late game is [b]very boring[/b] because you need to wait for every single thing in this game. Missions are boring and extremely repetitive, even the main story. Research is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ slow. Enemy agents just spawn randomly in your base to mess you up and don't react to your traps. Combat is unbalanced, top minions get two-shot by most enemies. The world map is extremely cluttered and unintuitive. Graphics look cool and polished, with very good performance. Base building has a cool concept, with the fake front for tourists and the evil lair in the back. You need a comical amount of generators to power your base. I get what they are doing with the three-level rock build limit, but imo that just makes building awkward.

got it on a whim and it was fairly decent to spend my weekend, however, i've encountered a game breaking bug that labeled by entire base as invalid placement space when using Build mode. reloading old saves, resetting the game, verifying the files and even a fresh install, nothing fixed the issue. i can see why the community for this game is basically nonexistent despite being a decently recent game. it's a shame, it's actually a pretty fun little base builder when it actually worked.

At first its fun setting and building up your base, but after a while the game becomes the definition of tedium and frustration, so I'm rather proud of myself that I did my first (and most likely only) playthrough of this on Normal difficulty. Its not completely horrible and it has its moments, but if you want a game that makes it fun to play the villain, I'd look somewhere else. This one will be entertaining for a short while, but I can see why less than 20% of the player base were determined enough to keep playing until being able to fire the doomsday device on full power. Lots of timewasters, setbacks and just generally boring elements make the game very tedious long term. The difficulty of the game does not lie within the challenge, but rather the frustration and wasting time with how long things take and how much you have to restart progresses until anything gets further.

Did not enjoy this game. Feels too much like a big budget freemium cellphone game.

Me apeguei muito ao jogo no começo, achei muito divertido e interessante, e cada vez que eu entrava pra jogar só dava vontade de evoluir mais e mais. O jogo é muito bacana no geral, com uma boa proposta, a mecânica e jogabilidade é boa. Depois de um tempo jogando e já estava bastante evoluído, os guardas simplesmente decidiram bugar e não fazer mais nada a não ser ficar parado encarando a porta. Tentei de todo jeito ajeitar esse bug, achando que era um simples bug, mas tentei de tudo e não funcionava. Eu comecei tentando apagar o posto de guarda e colocando e colocando de novo(fiz o básico), fechei e abri o jogo, desinstalei e instalei novamente, e depois de um tempo cansei e decidi procurar a resolução no youtube e na comunidade e vi que era um bug ridículo e muito recorrente com todo mundo, mas mesmo assim não consegui achar um jeito de resolver. Enfim, era impossível jogar sem os guardas no covil e os meus estavam bugados, então, infelizmente tive que parar de jogar e desinstalei, muito frustrante...
