Have You Played… Dungeon Keeper 2?

Rock, Paper, Shotgun has published a brief retrospective/recommendation article for Dungeon Keeper 2, Bullfrog’s dungeon-based RPG/RTS. Not quite the sequel the original deserved, according to writer Alec Meer, but still worth playing:

Most of all, it lacks the freshness that we’d come to expect of Bullfrog at that time, feeling like a straight retread rather than attempting anything wild. But I still feel so very warm towards it. It was comforting to go back to something I knew, with technological improvements and new levels to ‘˜solve’. And, at the end of it all, the My Pet Dungeon mode a true sandbox, wherein I could build to my heart’s content, trigger fights only when I felt appropriately sadistic, and best of all burn away hours simply tinkering. A fine way to avoid work or loneliness.

It’s not the sequel Dungeon Keeper deserved, but I could never hate it.
