Once you zoom into the system the game offers you a parallel view of each planet and its speciality. Once you start the game, you’re met with your home system, with a rather interesting live representation of each planet in orbit. This extends into the multiplayer as well, and I suspect the multiplayer in this game will be more fun than the single-player, as I have found. The game also offers you the ability to change options such as how big the galaxy is, and how many opponents you have. From being the leader of a tribe of trading families to some oddly religious empire setting out to convert everyone they meet, the options are numerous. You start off by selecting your civilisation type, in this case being offered quite a number of different array of options. But alas, Endless Space 2 doesn’t really change from this mechanic, and I found myself waiting for minutes on end for something to happen until I facepalmd myself and continued playing.Įndless Space 2 is set in a fairly familiar galaxy system.

Endless space review 2 Pc#
You might call me a grand-strategy or real-time strategy fan, and even one of the biggest simulator fans when it comes to PC games, spending most of my time on the PC playing only these games-unless tasked with reviewing the odd indie game-and the biggest issue I have with turn-based games, in general, is that I end up forgetting to advance to the next turn. Now first off, I’m not the world’s biggest turn-based strategy fan. Amplitude and 4X decided to take on the turn-based genre again this year with the second instalment. Endless Space 2 returned after a five-year hiatus after the first instalment released in 2012. Turn-based strategy games have seen a resurgence after Civilisation returned triumphantly, and X-Com took the world by storm with their second entry on PC and consoles.
