    Anomaly 2's singleplayer portion is basically identical to the first game, so if that was your jam, then by all means, go weapons free. If it wasn't your jam, then maybe the multiplayer will keep you interested.

    An interestingly designed take on the tower defence genre.

    Anomaly 2 preserves the unique twist its predecessor brought to the tower defense genre but does little to expand on what came before it.

    Anomaly 2 builds off the first Anomaly with some fresh, new ideas, and is an intelligent, strategic game with plenty of replayability value. It is not perfect by any means, but for the price ($14.99), it is a pretty fun game.

    An enjoyable single player tower offense game that unfortunately suffers from a barren and empty online multiplayer.

    As much as I enjoyed Anomaly 2, I have a very hard time recommending the console version to anyone. Even this non-PC gamer thinks I would have had a far better time with a keyboard and mouse.

    Without a strong multiplayer community behind it though, I would say skip the PS4 release and head straight for PC if you have the means.

    Too much flashy, shaky, distorted camera. Pain for the eyes.
    As to the concept, it's much worse than the original series.

    Don't be fooled by cinematic trailers, this thing is not worth a minute of your time.    … Full Review »
