Better then most!
I solely started writing this review because of the, maybe mislead, author of the first review my eye was placed upon. I'm sure there are more valid reasons for starting a review but hey.. guess what...
so in a quicky... The first reviewer probably missed the option of building farms on aquatic worlds and later on the option of being able to build farms on toxic/ non atmosphere worlds. Is this important.. Yes it is because this is a 4x that stays true to its roots. Expect to juggle with resources, science, food and population while being harassed by pirates and maybe an empire or 2. Make friends, fall in love, design the whole night through and never forget too... you know... just don't forget a thing.
Space combat is really something you need to adjust too, this being a slitherine production and all. I haven't played enough to see if the a.i. acts basic on the tactical level or the strategic level but there being difficulty settings and all so that should say enough. I do can tell that its not simple to win a fight!
If your bored with Paradox standards or Galciv's hatefull a.i. setup look no further and buy this game today!
( p.s. i did look if i could text the first reviewer but alas.. his privacy settings are set on high! )
