Anarchy Reigns: Review | Geek Time. Dear GeekTi.me readers, all 2 of you. Yes I’m talking to you! Have you played Anarchy Reigns yet? No? What the heck! That isn’t fair.

Good- Gameplay/Controls Anarchy Reigns is well built. Bad- Single player free roam (sort of) Free roaming areas in Anarchy Reigns should actually be called “annoying section between story parts,” but you can run around an enclosed area and beat up bad guys to your heart’s is content.

The music in the game is perfect. Bad- The puns. Ok, maybe this isn’t that bad. Good- Multiplayer Anarchy Reigns is made for multiplayer. So there you go.

It defies categorization. I like to think of it as a philosophical humorous travel memoir. It is all of those things, and more. For years, as a foreign correspondent for National Public Radio, I covered a multitude of catastrophes, natural and man-made.

Take a look at the infographic below for the world's happiest countries, and how global happiness has changed over the past five years. The findings above were calculated by looking at the state of well-being in 156 nations across the globe, using analysis from experts in economics, psychology, survey analysis, and national statistics to make a case for why well-being should be considered a measure of national development.

Happiness isn't only beneficial for individual mental and physical health and corporate bottom lines -- it may also contribute to the progress and development of entire nations, according to the authors of the report.
