![]() The graphics are really good and easily hold up today, combine it with an incredible soundtrack and half the time I just like zooming around the map in awe at my new alien home.Īs for the aesthetic it's very subjective, but for me nothing beats the visual and interface of Endless Space 2.Īffinity, do you stay pure human, go pure alien or hybrid robot human? Mix of two perhaps? The choices are great and sure I'd say balance wise probably some are better than other but it doesn't matter, it doesn't impact the civ experience for me In fact most people were expecting an AC with better graphic, so no wonder they were very disappointed by the final product. If you're looking for a somewhat lighter experience with a really immersive and unique theme, check this game out.Ĭan't talk about others ofc, but for me the bummer wasn't about the game per se but about of how poorly compared with Alpha Centauri. ![]() If you want something really deep go check out some of the other games. Every few turns theres some decision to make and while small it really helps with immersion and many of them help with your affinity.Īffinity, do you stay pure human, go pure alien or hybrid robot human?

The thing that keeps me coming back to it is the theme, the production value and the quest/affinity system. Yes it's an excellent game, one of my favorite civs actually. It'll give you something to do until the new Age of Wonders is released and it can be deemed if Pax Nova will ever be anything good.ĭang, everyone immediately prattles on about other games when OP asked about BEYOND EARTH. Honestly what I'd suggest you do if you're really craving for some modern scifi 4X and don't mind possibly wasting money is to buy Beyond Earth with the expansion. Also a very similar new game (with the added bonus of space exploration) on Steam called Pax Nova was just released in Early Access yesterday, and they have an offer for a week that makes it about the same price as Beyond Earth+Rising Tide are on sale right now. The civilizations lack character as it doesn't feel like they have any interesting backstory behind them beyond some generic stuff.Īs someone said there's the Age of Wonders: Planetfall that's coming in August, and will probably offer more. Even though the expansion Rising Tide improved things the gameplay still feels like it lacks the polish of other games and just doesn't mesh in an interesting way, which is a flaw in this genre. Also it starts looking a little dull after a while. The graphics might look good initially, but they make different tile types blend into each other a little too much so they're not as easily distinguishable with a quick glance as they are in other 4X games. It's not a bad game, however I have had it since launch and I have 66 hours played vs several thousand hours spent in 4X games overall, so that's pretty telling.
