    Evil Genius 2 World Domination is a fun and satisfying experience, a very accessible and ironic management title.

    Evil Genius 2: World Domination is a brilliantly presented and deeply layered strategy game. Minor issues aside, it’s rarely been so good to be bad.

    Fun and accessible, yet deep and detailed, Evil Genius 2: World Domination is pure fantasy fulfilment for anyone who has ever quite fancied being Ernst Stavro Blofeld or Hank Scorpio, and holding the globe to ransom.

    An excellent console port of a deep, impressively addictive, and very amusing, sandbox megalomaniac simulator.

    I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of gameplay. Evil Genius 2: World Domination would be a game for you if you are a player that is willing to invest their time and effort in learning how to play efficiently. There’s a way to be an evil genius and if you’re going to do it, so you had better do it right. It’s a bit of a grind at the start, but I guarantee you, your evil dreams will come true and you’ll become the best and richest Evil Genius the world has ever known.

    Evil Genius 2’s strengths are its presentation and its base building mechanics. Building the ultimate Inner Sanctum, complete with devious traps and scurrying minions is a lot of fun. But the news isn’t all good. Less enjoyable are some of the game’s busywork missions, lack of clarity around goals, and overall feeling of outstaying its welcome. Playing in the sandbox mode helps with the tedium, but overall Evil Genius 2 would be a better game if lost some complexity and padding, and focused on what it does best.

    A promising entry to the long-lasting legacy of Dungeon Keeper that lacks in both variety and depth long-term. While the theme is fun and offers the occasional genuine chuckle between a lot of chliché-ridden humor a lot of the gameplay goes from fun to tedious in the later stages of the game. This game will have you hooked for a couple hours, but it’ll struggle to have you coming back for more once you’ve seen it all.

It revitalized a lapsed interest in strategy games and now I'm looking at what other games I may have missed since my days of playing Starcraft 2. The characters and art style are fun, the possibilities are rather vast and minion missions give more meaning to the empire-building as a super villain. This game deserves a lot of attention and I recommend Game Pass subscribers give it a try.… Expand

    L’interface notamment est entièrement à revoir et ne tient aucunement compte des spécificités et limitations de la manette… le jeu est donc injouable et d’une lourdeur incomensurable. Les dévelppeurs en sont bien conscients, eux qui proposent éhontément une option souris/clavier sur la console ! comme si on jouait sur console pour se faire chier avec un clavier sur les genoux… et la souris, on la pose où… comment ça, dans son cul ?!

    Enfin bref, de toute façon, cette grosse daube est aussi débile que le premier volet dont elle est issue avec un humour douteux hystéro-bouffon (encore pire) et une gestion déficiente (pour ne pas dire ingérable), d’où l’ennui si dense qu’il est à couper au couteau lorsqu’on tente de jouer à cette daubasse. Il faut donc juste tirer la chasse par dessus et basta !    … Expand
