It is indeed a stroke of genius that the game knew it was never going to be as emotional of an experience as the first game was and thus, it didn't TRY TO be. Instead, it became its own thing in a way that glorifies both itself and the original...brilliant! ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!
In my first playthrough I was determined to not go too radical In the end when push came to shove in order to restore order and made the city survive I found myself declaring myself the mesiah 10/10 this game made me feel like an evil politican except instead of doing money loundering and covering it up for my own usage I do evil things and cover it up for the sake of cities survival
Great review, but I disagree that it diminishes the emotional impact by taking a macro-view. I'm haunted by the callousness the game demands of me when I see the notification pop up that people have died, or that I have to subject people to the whims of fascists so I can survive confidence votes to maintain power.
A totally valid point. I was very moderate and chose to avoid enacting radical laws wherever possible in my playthroughs, which did not reveal many surprise terrifying consequences. After reading some outcomes on Reddit, I did go back to try more extreme things, and updated my thoughts that made it into this review. Maybe I'm doing too well and need to up the difficulty. 😉Glad you enjoyed the review. - Anthony
