Dungeon Keeper™ 2

Best game that EA killed

Also, it keeps crashing and I can't even run the game in 16:9 by default. Mouse even locked up once after exiting a possession (similar to mouse locking up after playing for a while in vanilla DK1, the DK series apparently loves holding your mouse hostage) Wish GoG would properly patch their older games, I know you guys aren't always wizards that can defy time and space and perfectly patch absolutely anciently crusty older than God game engines, but at least try a bit harder with the more than stubborn games/engines. And/or at the very least, put known good fan patches under the main installer download as an optional download (Like they should have with DK1 with KeeperFX, kind of mandatory to play that game without losing your mind to technical BS.) In some ways, the sequel feels less responsive than the first game, I don't know... things just feel... off. I'm sure DK2 is perfectly decent overall, but I got frustrated with it really fast, unlike the first game, which kept my attention until the very end. I fecked off at that linear puzzle lava limited gold level if you're curious. In short: First game is better, even if it's sequel adds some new things and some (arguable) QoL changes. Just play the first game (with KeeperFX, or you're in for technical BS)

Good game, visuals still hold up, only flaw I can say it has is the utter difficulty spike, it is quite hard and has one of the hardest campaigns ever. BUT WORTH IT!

Building undeground realm and training monsters is addictive :)

This game gets a bad rap compared to DK1 and it is a very different game but, it is still an enjoyable game and is definitely worth playing if you liked DK1. You lose a lot of the freedom that DK1 had and you're often being funneled though unbreakable walls but the monster management is more involved and you feel like you have more interesting choices to make. The game also features real missions with stated objectives which gives it a bit more variety than DK1. For someone who has never played the Dungeon Keeper series, I'd probably suggest playing this first as it is definitely more user friendly. For anyone who has played DK1 I'd say, give it a chance and keep an open mind. Just don't expect more of the same.
