The Top of My 4X List

By Xbwalker posted 20th February

This game tops my list of favorite 4X games. It is timeless, and best of all, it runs great on older systems as well as newer ones. This is my number 1 "time filler".

An absolute must have for any 4X fan

By SirRoderick posted 24th January

One of the best 4x games ever made, especially this bundle with all the added content. Even ignoring the lengthy campaign this gives you, it's still great value. A highly customisable sandbox game will keep you busy for hours and hours, hell even just tweaking your ships in the editor will do that. The game's weakest point is it's rather bare combat. Wars are won by production, technology and ship designs, actual tactics can't be exploited since the battles are automated. Similarly ground combat is a pure numbers' game.

Its weaknesses are far outweighed, however, by all it's strengths.

Galactic Civilizations II: Ultimate Edition review

By G3xg3 posted 28th August 2012

Beutifoul turn based strategy game a must have for all the strategy and 4x game lovers.I would like a lot to see a new Gal Civ game. It has all you need farly big tech tree,Ship costumization,random maps,diplomacy,quite fancy war and invasion strategies.Verry few games can offer the kind of options that this does :).

An oldie but a goodie

By lazergazer posted 23rd August 2012

I missed this one on release on account of being out of gaming in the mid-00's. Have purchased this in the sale and am glad I did. Seems to have a lot of depth, but is fairly accesible if you are a strategy gamer like myself and have played civ etc. Only six or seven hours in but can see that I am going to be hooked! Graphically a little dated but that is to be expected and is still attractive enough for a 4x game. It has all the expansion packs and content, does need steam to play but that's not a problem for me. Certainly worth a tenner!
