Endless Space 2

I have stellaris, es2 and gal civ 3 incl dlc for all.

Stellaris isn't really comparable its real time and not turn based and very much a grand strategy in space more akin to other paradox titles. Especially with the utopia expansion it encourages making your own story allowing you to create your own race from scratch.

Es2 takes a lot of mechanics from es1 and their other title endless legend and aims to improve on them, it's turn based not real time. It's more narrative driven with a lot of background lore to the playable races and race specific quests. The races are all very distinct and have different play styles. For instance the trade driven lumeris don't colonise planets but rather can buy outposts to colonise and can then trade them to other races for money which no other race can do. The assymetry between races is a key selling point to the endless series.

It's shaping up to be a very good game in its own right but there are improvements needed to ai etc. I'd hold off for at least a month post release.

Thanks, I will hold-fire on the buy trigger then for a bit
 
So this went full release recently right? As I saw a bunch of adverts on youtube and it caught my eye. Grabbed it last night, only got 5 minutes with it so didn't even do a tutorial!

Looks awesome though and the interface is very sleak and easy to use.

Anyone know of any guides out there?
 
I had a quick go last night and its basically Civilization in Space ! I'm enjoying it so far , You colonise planets and meet new races and you fight , The choice is yours , its a very polished game and works well & the sound track is very nice and relaxing.

It's a turn based game.

You only have to look at how many positive reviews it has too see its a very good game over 1.4k postives to 400 Negatives

I''ll be streaming it to Twitch live tonight at around 22:00 if you want to watch :) Name : JasyBabyYa.
