Machinima: "When almost any game can be pigeonholed into a three-word genre, Anomaly: Warzone Earth confused everyone in 2011 with its sort-of-but-not-quite tower defense gameplay. Dubbed 'Tower Offense,' the game tasked you with protecting a column of tanks as they rolled through a path skirted by all manner of turrets. From my time with Anomaly 2, the sequel looks like the best kind you could hope for: one that expands and adds to the gameplay of the original without losing what made the game unique."
gamrReview's Brent Galietti: "Strategy and Simulation games suck us into their worlds by putting our minds to work. We predict all the possible moves we can make and how the enemy can respond. Or we try to make our dreams come true in a virtual world that is tailor made to reward us for expressing our freedom. Whichever way they do it, these games keep our brains in the game, and that's true of this year's nominees."
Game review of the tower offence game Anomaly 2. It's an interesting take on strategic defence, but does it hold up in comparison with its predecessor and competitors?
From the review: "It's all about the multiplayer this time around in the Anomaly franchise. 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. Either way, there are fun and interesting gameplay ideas hidden away in Anomaly 2 that can keep you busy over a boring weekend."
