Game is trash, utter stinking trash. And i'm not talking about the messed up RNG, The graphical Glitches and Bugs in a 5 year old game (ambidextrous gunslinger? Second gun is worn on the forearm ! Thug dies ? he stays up and at a glance appears to still be a threat ) or the fact a common thug has an almost full armor bar whereas you seem to be entirely dependant on luck to see what equipment you MIGHT get. Game balance seems totally questionnable. No, when i say trash, i mean it in the ways of : Each 1 hour or so session of gameplay i did, whenever i closed down the game ? the SECONDARY LAUNCHER ( yes, because buying the game on Steam still forces you to install Paradox's launcher to start your GODDAMN GAME ... ) basically dies and REFUSES to start my game, unless i uninstall and reinstall it ... The Game CRAPS ITSELF TO DEATH each time i close it, forcing me to reinstall it ... HOW !?!?! WHY !?!?! THEY CHARGE 50 $ FOR THAT !!! At least it IS in theme witht he game, clearly it w...

I really love Paradox. Their strategy games are almost always worth hundreds, if not thousands of hours of game play. I cannot recommend Empire of Sin though. Having spent countless hours building my dynasty in CK3, growing my galactic empire in Stellaris, and getting steamrolled in HOI4, I found EOS and was immediately intrigued. I've always liked prohibition era mafia media, from movies to books to games. I had high hopes coming into this. Empire of Sin is unfortunately just one of Paradox's weaker titles. There's countless game balance issues, both for and against the player. The diplomacy is lackluster at best, even after the update, there's very little replayability, and several bugs, ranging from annoying to save corrupting. The game balance issues are the most minor of the lot. Player controlled mobsters move faster than AI mobsters, allowing you to react to situations far away from you with ease. On the other hand, the AI gets to deploy multiple groups of dispensable mobster...

this is like Godfather should have been. map is hard to get used to. BUT the concepts are freaking epic!!!!!!!!!!! Very fun to play get used too. Crashed sometimes, but still very fun! If u liked Mafia 1 2,, Godfather very good.

So, I played this game years ago and enjoyed it. Bought it again even though I saw all the bad reviews. After a few months of not playing, I guess the game decided to erase my save file. I do NOT recommend this game.

Game is alright, it is rather enjoyable for the first 10 - 20 hours of game play but gets rather boring after you get high level associates and main character. The development of your precincts are quite lacklustre and just boils down the money maxing, I never had police attention even once. Get game on sale if you really want it, but this game seems semi abandoned and isn't worth anyone's time.

The Empire of Sin Soundtrack perfectly encapsulates the prohibition-era Chicago atmosphere, with its blend of smoky jazz, brassy swing, and noir-inspired motifs. Each piece feels like it has stepped straight out of a 1920s speakeasy, enhancing the game’s narrative of intrigue, ambition, and organised crime. The music lends weight to both tense strategy moments and story-driven encounters. Technically, the soundtrack demonstrates strong orchestration and immaculate production. Brass sections are punchy without being overbearing, rhythm sections swing with authentic groove, and melodic lines cut through the mix with clarity. The attention to period-accurate arrangement ensures not only stylistic immersion but also musical credibility. Overall, the Empire of Sin Soundtrack is a well-crafted and thematically rich collection. Essential listening for anyone who enjoys jazz-inspired game scores, or who wants to keep the spirit of the roaring twenties alive long after the game is closed.

kinda gets boring after a while

I like the ability to shoot with two guns at the same time — it makes combat more dynamic. With new DLC the fights are pretty intense.

Good update, makes the game fun again. New story, new characters, Vanguard class, more missions, weapons, new challenges, and even a dog.
