Ubisoft's launcher sucks. The game is exactly what it says it is.

In 2020, I would rather play the original Dungeon Keeper on a Dosbox than try to truly finish this.

I can no longer play the career mode because the servers shut off. Really makes one think.

Really interesting take on real time with pause gameplay.

X-COM: UFO Defense for the post 2010 age. Pretty faithful recreation of the original masterpiece.

Confusing gameplay design decisions make it feel worse than it's predecessor. It's not bad, but I'd rather play Enemy Unknown, Xenonauts, or one of the original X-COMs. Maybe not Terror from the Deep.

Probably the high point of the series. Not really saying much.

Genuinely still holds up as something you could play today.

The population manager and council delegator parts are very interesting and kept me intrigued and playing.

The RTS portion was awful.

It's ok. Unfortunate that it's tied to the XCOM intellectual property, since as an original it would be much better liked.

Play Recettear instead. This is a clone that came out ten years later but managed to be worse in every way.

I love tower defense games. This is a good tower defense game.

Worse than the original in every way.

The art and sound are outstanding. The narrative is good. The gameplay is ok. Not something I want to replay, but I enjoyed the first time.

Would be fine with less pretentious writers and a different title. Very little to do with BioShock but can only be compared with the masterpiece that was the first game.
