Empire of Sin reviews - our roundup of the scores

As 2020 draws to a close, one of the year's final big strategy games is about to land. Empire of Sin, the turn-based title set in Prohibition era Chicago, launches this week and the reviews are now pouring in ahead of its imminent arrival. Let's take a look at what the critics have made of it so far, shall we?

Starting with our own Empire of Sin review, Joe scores it a respectable seven-out-of-ten, noting that "it's hard to ignore the need for a little extra TLC to smooth out the edges, but the fundamentals of an arresting tactics-and-strategy game about building a criminal empire are in place". Joe says that, while the game features some "excellent foundations", there "are still some kinks to iron out" overall.

Across the board, however, there's a real mixture of scores. It's currently sitting at 70 on Opencritic and 69 on Metacritic (PC), but these reflect a pretty big range - for example, PCGamer has scored the title a 49/100, while Windows Central gives it a 4.5/5.
