If you pretend that you're a mental patient with triple-schizophrenia, the game takes on a whole new meaning.

A solid little space sim that really isn't all that little, Star Ruler gives you an entire galaxy to play around in and conquer. Hundreds of planets (destroyable of course, because why not) give you plenty of room to spread out your empire and take over everything.

And with the ability to easily design your own ships, there's always an answer to whatever an enemy's throwing at you. Sure, just go ahead and design a ship twenty times bigger than your home planet and arm it with a cannon that'll detonate a star in a single hit.

You no longer have a reason not to play this game at least once. Get on that.
