incredibly addictive and fun. great progression

incredible game that you'll spend hours on. endless replay value. Can't wait for it to come out on mobile.

Lots of fun, dev feels like its moving along at a good pace. Devs communicate with the community.

This game has a very fun core, literally all they need to do is tighten up the controls a bit more and increase stability/reduce lag issues.

I'm a huge 4x fan which means I often end up buying bad ones. I'm happy to report that so far MOO has a great foundation. The art style is spot on, the effects and graphics beautiful. The sound is a great mix of old & new. I'm definitely getting sucked in already and experiencing that great "just one more turn, just one more turn" feeling that a good strategy/4x game will give you.

Bugs - Nothing really noteworthy so far, just a bit of barely noticeable frame stutter on a large, well explored galaxy during AI turns. There's some minor UI elements that could use some polishing/streamlining.

Some work needed - Diplomacy is a bit shallow, it would be nice to have some more subtle ways to make friends or enemies. It seems like all the AI will do right now is get progressively more angry with you even if you don't do anything to offend them, even buying them off doesn't really do much. The auto-build is way off base for what new colonies need. Pretty surprised that this got a public release without a working tutorial.....but that's the only real "buyer beware" I encountered. Even as a 4x vet, I always like to give the tutorial a whirl just to get a feel for the game and all its features.

Wishlist (not really a knock on the game) - I know its probably a tall order with all the art & voice work required but even more different races would be amazing. Bigger galaxies. More ship variants. I'd also love to see some sort of Ship Design Testing Room feature that you could access from the main menu that would take you straight to ship design and let you really play around with the ship building and then perhaps test them against some basic enemies. I love the ship design part of a good 4x but I'd love to see some sort of testing lab feature to really get to play with various ship classes and loadouts. With so much else going going on during a full game, you might spend some time on a new ship design, and never actually get to really get a chance to see if it performs well in combat. A ship lab/fight AI ship minigame that you can access directly from the main menu would be a lot of fun.

Summary - great game, definitely recommend (even in early access), I'm having a lot of fun with it. A few minor things to polish up and a few "above and beyond" things I'd like to see added.

Highly recommended. A lot of fun for the low price tag. Also I'm hoping that Microsoft & 343 use Steam for distribution more now that Games for Windows Live is dead. I would love to see more of their library come to Steam.

Incredible game, if you're a big fan of story-driven games and FPS, you have to play the entire Bioshock series.
