Evil Genius 2 review: An entertaining sim let down by dopey henchmen

Rebellion's sequel retains a lot of the cult original's charm but still has its issues

VGC’s 3/5 Evil Genius 2: World Domination review praised the game for its sense of humour and inventive room designs, but said it was let down at times by annoying AI minions.

“Evil Genius 2 captures the spirit of the original and still provides plenty of entertaining moments as a result, but the fiddly interface and the lack of any options to manually control its often moronic minions makes it a real exercise in patience at times,” critic Chris Scullion wrote.
