A nice casual mining game for those who have nostalgia for mining in EVE but don't want to deal with CODE.

Do not drop $50 for this.
I get it is 'early' access, but it is not a $50 early access game.
Firstly, how do you hard-code a binding to F12? This has literally been the screenshot key in Steam for years.
Secondly a ship intended for anything extra-kerbin orbit takes ages to lift off. My retun/refund period was out before I even made it to the outer atmosphere.
And then there is the launcher. why is there a secondary launcher? just shove that in your pipe and smoke it.

Garbage and buggy as ♥♥♥♥. Needs a solid 2 more years in the oven before being released. Easybuild is the most opposite of easy as it can get. 4 hours wasted for nothing.

An excellent casual game with an intriguing story and excellent visual style. Not a fan of the voice actor for the overwatch guy but he is effective and doesn't spoil the experience.

I would like to have a shared mutliplayer feature, even though what I want doesn't matter in the end. Not a game worth full price in it's current state. I don't care if mainstream players only play super quick games on tiny maps. I want to play month long games with my brothers and some friends, spanning an insane map with countless other races ( at least 20 or so ) to trade, conquer and ally with. This is not possible. A great disappointment Stardock. I remember calling your support line years ago, (before gamestop bought Impulse) and there was a hilarious and unique phone prompt system in addition to the regualr options. I preordered 3 copies of this game for myself and my brothers. One of them works second shift and is not home when we are, hence why a shared save game would be ideal as we can each take a turn each day and just pull it off the shared drive.

Just don't buy the game at full price please, if you must buy it. Stardock needs to fix themselves and their game.


Cons:
All players must be online and have the game running to play multiplayer
No "Shared" save games for extended plays with friends.
A game started with 85 races and on an insane map will not get past turn 12.
(Rig specs are octo core amd, 32GB ram, r9 270x, etc.)

Pros:
Great depth and continued story from previous GalCivs.

Updated 2022:
Private Division can go ♥♥♥♥ themselves with their ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ retarded third party launcher.


ORIGINAL
Two Words: Invisible Cracken.

10/10 Would spontaneously combust on launch again.

There were these creepy people that always seemed to be on when I was and only just as far as I was. They also sucked at PvP battles.

7/10 Would talk with myself again.

Sorry, I just... I just can't.

10/10 Would Michael Bay that ♥♥♥♥ every time.
