Buggies game I have played. And I am not talking about terminids.

TinyBuild quietly shutdown the developer. The money wont go to the devs so do not buy. The game is a good tycoon game and worth a try.

Long time veteran of franchise. This went to ♥♥♥♥ some time ago. The game is full of cheaters, people who do not want to communicate in English or spam some other language in voice chat all the time. Tick rate and peeker's advantage make the game unplayable from time to time. Sometimes you get dragged to your death behind a corner because of bad tick rate and how the game registers hits.

This game is fun, but it falls short on some things. The campaign writing is not nearly as good as the first one. The game has a lot of mundane clicking and the world map is a huge game of "where is waldo" trying to spot how to make money, how to lower heat, and how to do other stuff on each area. The first one had better world map and was way more intuitive.

Traps are kind of fun, but ultimately useless. First you don't need them and then when you think you would need them they are not powerful enough to do anything.

I think the henchmen and agent quest lines are unnecessarily long with 4 missions per destroying/recruiting with mundane feeling tasks.

What I do like is that the base building has improved a lot, the characters have more personality, and the game feels a lot more polished game play wise. I loved the first one, and this is an ok sequel/relaunch. Without the first one I am not sure if I would think this game is better or worse than I do now.

In the end I would recommend this game, especially if you have not played the first one. If you have, then I think it is a coin toss, as this game does some things better, but some things are not nearly as good.

Meh, no content, the release was a joke. Many of the promised features are missing.

I was afraid that this would be the same old game with a couple of new jokes. I was wrong, and I am happy to admit it. The archipelago system brings new gameplay and challenges, the buildings have been reworked. This absolutely feels and plays liek Tropico, but it has something new too.

0/5 Electric Sauna is not true Sauna.

It's a time machine.
Just one turn since call to power.

Great game, but it should focus stealth more. Stealth is an option in many (most) jobs, but it's almost always either too easy or too hard (playing with friends).
The game has pretty good weapon options, but I think it, again, lacks stealth options like carrying a sub-machinegun and a pistol at the same time.
If you want to go guns blazing with harder difficulty levels you are going to get difficulties, too much of them in my opinion, you are most probably going to be overrun by enemies.
