While I honestly wanted to like this a lot more than I ended up liking it, I can fairly confidently say that that's due to 4X not really being my thing personally. I can kind of tell this is a very high quality game regardless of my bias - all the right stuff is there, but at the same time the developers have tried to shake up and experiment with the 4X formula rather than just follow the usual plan. There is a LOT of stuff available to do but new players won't feel overwhelmed by it all either - there's something for everyone here.

That and good lord is the soundtrack absolutely fantastic. It's like a choir of angels having a climax in unison.
