Empire of Sin, the strategy game from Romero Games and Paradox Interactive, puts you at the heart of the ruthless criminal underworld of 1920s Prohibition-era Chicago. It’s up to you to hustle, charm and intimidate your way to the top of the pile and do whatever it takes to stay there. This character-driven, noir-inspired game puts players smack dab in the glitz and glamor of the roaring 20s, all while working behind the scenes in the gritty underbelly of organized crime.

Lords Of Gaming
By Chris JonesEmpire of Sin has plenty of good ideas from the great 1920s Chicago setting and atmosphere. From a great diplomacy system that can make or break your playthrough at certain times in the game, to turn-based combat which I love in games shows some promise. But the game is mired by lackluster map design, bad AI, unbalanced abilities, and some clunky controls. I did enjoy the roleplaying aspect of being able to lead a criminal empire as a historically inspired gangster. Empire of Sin manages to capture ambition beautifully in its empire management systems, and its allure of everything is strong.
Gaming Professors
By Michal MrázMaybe you can forgive the game for its horrible repetition, boring, practically zero story and useless diplomacy, which probably serves only as a gameplay enhancement. What you get is a promising title that's really great for the first few hours. But unfortunately, really only for the first few hours. It's a huge shame, because this title could have been just as great as, say, the aforementioned XCOM 2. Empire of Sin has great graphics and a 1920s atmosphere that could be sliced up. This experience is accentuated by the great historical music. However, the positive aspects of the game end there.

By Jordan BiordiEmpire of Sin is definitely an offer you can refuse.

By Jakub KadlusThe first hours of the game had a lot to offer, but the gameplay quickly became repetitive, and all the smaller and larger mistakes began to surface, which in the end hurt the Empire of Sin more than it should.

By Joshua RobinThis 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.
