Anyone checking this one out?  Evil Genius 1 was sort of a failed attempt at a great concept, basically Dungeon Keeper meets James Bond supervillains.  It was not a very good game, but it had a lot of heart.  This installment seems to be an attempt by Rebellion to do right by the series and provide a solid base management game.  The new game releases in about a week, but at $40 it's a bit steep for the series' rocky history and the tendency of base builders to have a rough launch in today's market.  Maybe it will be awesome - who knows?

never played the first game but always heard good things about it. i ordered the deluxe edition about a week ago. hopefully it keeps my attention as i just picked up crusader kings 3 in the last few days!

Yeah the first game became more of a puzzle solver rather than a base builder.

I am intrigued but going to wait for some reviews and let's plays drop to see if it is what I'm looking for.

Available now, 79% positive reviews so far.  Any takers?

I'm holding off for now. Some of the youtube reviewers I trust are saying wait for a deep sale.
