Fantastic expansion, actually has substantial new stuff unlike the trend today to nickle and dime with rinky dink little add ons of little substance. Some of the best devs in the industry and this is worth every penny.

Still the best Civilization game. Runs well and with mods the AI is very tough without cheating! Interesting to return after playing Old World which is designed by the same dude.

This game is fantastic, probably the best competitor to Factorio so far. The UI really stands out and is super slick, one of the best game UIs I have ever seen. Try if you like factory designing and puzzles.

Fantastic puzzle train game. Not quite a train sim like Transport Fever, but it is a very good puzzle game with an enjoyable campaign.

This is a good medieval strategy game. The game is very similar to Empires but with some medieval mechanics and a more interesting time period imo. The game is challenging as you have to think about how to grow your empire and cannot just expand mindlessly.

Not the best Anno game but it is fine. The devs tried some new ideas that they used in 1800 much more successfully. I've played extensively 1404, 2070, 1800 and this one and this one is forth best. If you like the games they all are worth playing.

Recently a cool dude released an awesome mod called New Frontiers that makes the game worth playing again.

DSP is a decent factory game that needs some quality of life improvements. Ultimately I do not think it is not a better game than Factorio, but that is comparing to the best, this game does stand on its own.
I hope they give you the ability to automate flying from planet to planet. It's cool the first time but when you have to keep going across the star cluster it gets old fast. I also wish there you could see what you have on your other planets easier, right now you can only see the layouts on the planet you are currently on. The logistics system needs some work, right now the game is like an Anno game when you unlock the PLS but you can't control the shipping routes precisely. Instead you have to us the unintuitive settings to get it to work the way you want. In the end it's basically an Anno game but in space and no city to build.

This game has stupendous graphics and music. The coat of arms designer is great as well. Good solid city building mechanics. Runs very smooth as well. A good foundation, very exciting to see what gets added to these solid bones by the dev and moders.

A brilliant game! I knew pretty nothing about computer science and this game has taught me a lot! You just have to learn some Boolean Algebra and it will make sense as you go on.

A very good implementation of the boardgame. The hard AI in two player is really good, I've played the game a lot in person so an AI that is good is a pleasant surprise.
