    I honestly don’t think Empire of Sin knows what it wants to be. It seems like it wants to be something like Mafia or even Grand Theft Auto, but assumed a game about micromanaging criminal enterprises needed to play like X-Com. It shouldn’t have been this hard to make a mafia game this uninteresting but Romero Games sure found a way. Do yourself a favor and just skip this one.

    Empire of Sin is ambitious and features a blending of genres and ideas that can be described as very interesting. Unfortunately the way they come together and work as a game is an utter disappointment at best, and frustrating at worst. The poor visual performance could still be acceptable if the other components displayed more qualities, but a mediocre AI, some unsolved technical issues - even after several updates - and the redundancy of one of its major dimensions make Empire of Sin a passable and uninteresting effort.

    There are a lot of good things in Empire of Sin. The combat has a lot of room for variable play styles. The diplomacy systems make every play through unique. I love the neighborhoods they crafted. This is a game built around the idea that emergent gameplay is fun, and it is. That’s why the technical problems are such a bummer. Empire of Sin is a good game, but the Nintendo Switch is the worst place to play it.
