naw naw naw man its a good followup. The only thing I need to say for people who played EG1 before this is that it IS way less kick you in the nutsack levels of hardcore.

Good.

The other note is that I genuinly think this started as a mobile game before pivoting. It just has that feel to it where you are building a base and waiting out a timer as your minions do missions. I dont have a probem with this, infact I like the dopamine! But well... if it filters you, sorry.

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.

It's a surprisingly deep game once you get into it. It runs really smooth, the art style is fun, and I laughed a fair number of times. I actually found myself roleplaying a little bit at one point having the top floor of my lair being an inner sanctum with an area dedicated to traps and a small prison area with one cell so I could humiliate captured agents and then throw them into a shark pit while my henchmen watched. This is not something I tend to do, so bravo on that.

The base building is very free form. You can get quite creative with it all, to the point that it could even be overwhelming. I found the easiest way to do things is keep it small until most of the research is done, however. Then, atleast you know what you CAN build, and then plan accordingly. You will be surprised how many different areas you will need over time, and it's easy to crowd yourself out if you go big early.

The soundtrack is awesome, and really sells the theme. The characters are all pretty clever with ok / decent stories with enough meat to be entertaining. Some of the voice acting is great, and some of it is so terrible it's almost funny. It can be jarring how bad some of the voice acting is, actually. You can definitely tell they had people pulling double duty for some voices, and they had a strong preference for one character over another.

There are some quality of life issues, like the fact you can't move or interact with items as a group, meaning if you ever plan to move a room full of items to another floor or shift it to another side of a floor you're gonna consider quitting the game entirely because moving a 100 gold racks individually between floors is genuinely painful. The combat can get weird at times with a lot of minions refusing to use their weapons or getting blocked off in certain situations from fighting causing war crime levels of minion massacres by the "Forces of Justice", but once you really figure out how to beef up your entrance and how to feed enemy agents into kill zones things get easier.

The world map where you send minions for missions is just... horrible. Tons of micromanaging. You will eventually find yourself putting every region on "reduce heat" missions just so you can avoid it all together. The actual networks on the map you build give passive income anyways, so save early game you dont even need to do anything but that and actual game missions anyways.

Overall, the game is great, but not full price great. I forget how much I paid, honestly, but it was a pretty deep sale, so I am fine with the experience I got for the price I paid. If it was full price though, yeah... I would be much harsher. This is not a 60 dollar game even with the expansions and DLC. 30, maybe, with everything included.

This is a great wishlist game. Wait for a steep sale. Even if you end up not liking the game you'll atleast appreciate the art, music, and characters.

I bought this second game after seeing a friend play the first one and getting excited about it. However, it has almost nothing to do with the first game. Traps feel completely useless. To kill the super agents you are forced to progress the main story, and you end up repeating the same “go there, kill this” missions over and over again. Unfortunately, the same repetitive loop also appears in the side missions.

In management-style games I usually expect a certain level of realism, and this game seems to have lost that completely. Some super agents simply spawn directly in specific locations rather than following a logical path, which means the game gives you almost no opportunity to prepare a proper defence.

In short, they managed to ruin the excellent formula of the first game. The result is a mediocre experience and, honestly, a waste of time.

This is another simulation/management type game but with a Spy/Action genre twist! It can be addictive and you can easily lose resources quickly if you aren't careful (That might be a me issue)!

"Review"!?! This implies viewing twice. YOU'D BETTER NOT BE CHARGING ME TWICE FOR READING THIS "RE... VIEW".

Now, I have a mission for you. Infiltrate Valve, then change all the reviews to positive! Of course, failure is not an option. And, if you find Steel: kill him.

What are you doing stilll reading this??? Go!

The base game is fine, but it gets repetitive after 10+ hours. The ammount of free DLC content is good, but there is also a lot of paid DLCs that do not really look like woth paying for.

Не открою Америку, если скажу, что это блеклый сиквел всеми любимой первой части. Визуал притягательный, юмор не стыдный, вариативность какая-никакая есть. Разные гении, наёмники, подход к строительству базы. Но как-будто много с чем не дожали и урезали. В перовой части проработка деталей была на голову выше и это удручает (Я сначала поиграл в эту часть, а только потом купил первую, о чём жалею). И я сильно удивился придя к такому итогу. Тем не менее, если вы любите стратегии в реальном времени с построением базы - эта игра в полноценной и интересной форме может предложить только второе, и то с оговорками :(.

К сожалению не могу поставить что-то между "хорошо" и "плохо", потому что игра именно такая - ни хорошая ни плохая...

Итог: Мне в своё время игра зашла, Stupendium прикольную песню сделал по мотивам и я могу сказать, что игра неплохая, но почти 500 грн для меня тогда были деньги немалые... Лучше скачать с торрента, потому что я не дождлся буквально день.

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.

There are a lot of game breaking bugs, I had to give up a gave as my new reactors were constantly catching on fire, even though the room was freezing. Just ridiculous. If you want to buy the game, just buy the base game, the dlc makes it way too unstable.

Great improvement compare to the original game. But need some game mode where you dont follow a plot and just building base. And DLCs are pretty overpriced. And some instructions need to be more clear, i was stuck few times because the game didnt bother to explain exactly what to do in order to move forward. At least its pleasing on the eye.
