Still the best 4X game along with Endless Legend.
It is sad that Amplitude dropped support this early but still it is worth every penny

----------
Pros
Every faction feels different
Game has amazing visuals and soundtracks
UI is very clean
Lore and world-building is SSS-tier
Endgame is interesting and meaningful
Opbot <3
Horatio is perfect

Cons
Again : Endgame. Endgame can be overwhelming because it has some kind of race mechanic that "overrides" established alliances.
If you go with pacifist route, minor faction assimilation quest will definitely be overwhelming.
Early game all out wars are absolutely discouraged if you are not a warmonger faction .
Academy's Vaulter or Librarian roles are absolutely worthless.
Spear of Isyander breaks the balance. Academy quests start too early imo
Audacity of Vodyani that asks for Dust every single turn
Horatio is not perfect

fish mommy
