The first Overlord was like the new kid on the block who had a strange and interesting idea and ran with it until it won gold in its own race. Overlord 2 however disappointing in the way that the developers took no chances to make the game more fun, they doubled the map size but 3 quarters of it feel empty. The minion control concept is still unpolished and a struggle to make use of. The story is boring and railroaded unlike the first game where you decisions had an effect, this game seems to play the exact same no matter what you did or didn't do. The resources you need to to get upgrades can only be gotten with a ridiculous amount of grinding. I never really laughed in the first game but it was charming anyway. The second game felt like anticomedy, it **** comedy out the game with all the recycled jokes and lazy innuendos. I would say stick to the first overlord and stay there. I think if they just tried to add quality of life improvments instead of concepts that you only get to play with a handful of times then it would have been much easier to play.
