Overlord II - Microsoft Xbox 360

The sheer chaos of leading that rampaging minion army never gets old, especially when you unleash the new magical spells on unsuspecting villages. It’s a solid sequel that keeps the dark humor and destructiveness flowing from start to finish.

I’ve been playing through the campaign for a few days now and the minion chaos is just as fun as I’d hoped—they really do feel like a proper army at your command. The magical spells you unlock add a nice layer of strategy to the action, too.

The minion-raising mechanic is far more satisfying than the first game, and the chaos you can unleash feels genuinely powerful. I've spent hours just experimenting with different creature types to burn down the elven villages.
