This is hands down the best 4x/grand-strategy space game I have ever played. Never before have I been so invested in a game and my empire. In my last game, which spanned a week to finish, my race took to the stars already knowing how to build robots. Over the course of the game we upgraded them to droids and finally fully A.I. Synths. Finally we researched how to leave our mortal shells and upload our minds into machine bodies and merged with our A.I brothers. Then, in the end, two ancient empires awoke and started to fight each other while drawing in the rest of the galaxy into the conflict. Ultimately it was my robotic race that united the weaker non-aligned worlds and lead them to victory… just like Babylon 5. Can’t wait to start a new game!
