Play it like a gacha game with a lot of tanks
Play it like a tryhard and break its long term high ceiling gameplay and mechanics
Play it cool for lol physics and awesome audiovisual graphics
Play it listening to epic, immersive and worldly music
Play it with a warm or semi-professional community in clans
Play it like a chessboard with actual people as characters in Clan Wars and Advances
Play it because the devs see it as their golden son

Play it just because it's literally free
Still here with 4000+ hours on my non-steam account and still learning since 2012.

One of the few programs out there where I stared for hours for the amount of immersion you could get with music, themes and moods you can creatively make.

Have a 32" 240Hz, OLED monitor that can show the colors,
Rig that can run the buttery smooth frames,
Stereo and music to fill the room
and a mind in creating a theme

You will stare in awe and admiration

A brilliant hero story maker with complex sandbox game mechanics and extremely rich lore.

Depending on how good you are, you will either live mostly as a lowly cockroach getting beaten up all the time and even to death by anything or a notoriously elite individual seeking adventure fully cared for and supplied by multiple cities.

Learning curve is extremely high and you will suffer because repetition is only one part of the key, being smart is another. NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED.

A good preference of micromanagement, depth, gameplay and concept.

A difference in knowledge and logical reasoning, your gameplay can feel like a sick old man full of problems or a very young CEO of a bustling company full of opportunities to expand.

We all know Counter Strike since 2000

but now it's just a game milked by valve
neglected and full of cheaters and hackers who wallhack

you join a match, you see someone blocked or muted on the other team
it's warmup and shows how obvious they wallhack
then your teammate toggles on his ragehack

aaaand I'm just gonna go for a 30 minute cooldown at round 3

Valve, fix ur ♥♥♥♥, or am I the one to blame for playing this game that is sorely neglected and left to rot.

I admit, ever since I have played Evil Genius 1 years before, I loved the game for its variety, depth and new kind of gameplay.

I would recommend this game for those who are villain wannabees, a knack for management and are into beautiful and functional base builders

I could however recommend the developers to have better notification for the global map schemes as I find myself trying to find which schemes were finished the moment I open the world map. There's also the Genius and henchmen situation where I have to click on the full portrait instead of just a double click on the list to follow the character.
I also feel like the traps part of the game would need more new devices, the first game had more compared to the sequel.

Small things like these makes life easier for the ones who are busy, y'know, trying to dominate the world.

Otherwise it's a solid modernized sequel, but of course, I am biased after all.
