Plus, it ends on an unsatisfying cliffhanger, which made it feel like nothing was resolved and the whole journey was pointless. This is mainly because the game introduces and builds up a major villain, but you don't actually get to fight him. The story, however, is weaker overall than the one in the previous game. Plus, the population cap has increased from 50 to 120, which I loved, because it allows for more destruction. There are also quite a few new units, like snipers, and I had a lot of fun experimenting with them. Also, the campaign gradually introduces units to you, which is cool because it forces you to vary your tactics and learn the strengths and weaknesses of each unit. Instead, I found the best tactic was to use an army of hornets (yup, hornet spam is still a thing) but even then a lot of the levels were pretty challenging. In this game, they're way more expensive and it takes too long to upgrade your base to acquire them, so they're not really worth it.

For example, the previous game was a cakewalk with an army of scorpions. It's still simple and basic like its prequel, but I felt that it was more fun, primarily because there have been some major improvements and re-balancing. 80% PCI only played the campaign because I don't give a shit about multiplayer so this review is for the campaign only.
