Thank you all for your patience, this one has been a long time in the making, first time editing one of these reviews on Premiere as well, which had its benefits but definitely slowed me down. I may stick with it in future, time'll tell. Evil Genius is a game I mucked around in a lot as a kid, coming back now with an honest intent to beat it was eye opening in some ways, I adore its looks but the gameplay I found a bit trickier to get into.

Please ask afterthought questions below

Playing Evil Genius: Dawdling to Doomsday

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/tehsnakerer This time, we're playing the waiting game, there's some great visuals and base management along the way. Honestly, I think Evil Genius hasn't aged terribly well, I think it's charms are diluted by its gameplay and I hope this video explains well why I feel this way.

I'm rather surprised this game is how it is. NerdCubed put it at 100 in his top 100 games a while back, and that's the only way I've heard of this game. Maybe it was the OST and the aesthetics. Anyway, I'd like to ask a few questions. 1-How would you compare this to any bullfrog games you've played? 2-Would you give the game a stab again with a higher unit cap? 3-Completely unrelated to the game, are you thinking about looking at super cloudbuilt at some point?
