Distant Worlds 2

Like the game but it just will not stop crashing when I zoom sometimes. Tried different visual settings, followed several guides, all my drivers are updated. It's a shame.

This is a great game with too much detail, and it has very steep learning curve. It is 4X grand strategy game. There are 20 playable races each with con, pro, and different technology tree. I played previous title and I needed to spend sometimes to become familiar with UI and gameplay. It is rewarding if you are a patient player and like to learn the basic. Overall, I highly recommend this game to 4X player.

I enjoy the depth and complexity of the play. I've enjoyed the game more once I turned off most of the automation and started micromanaging most aspects. Great fun and a strong recommend for anyone that likes depth to games. Or conversely, if you just want to go full automation and watch the galaxy unfold, you can do that too.

Stellaris on steroids

Beyond angry. That is how I can describe what this game has made me. A game with so much potential... ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ destroyed by the absolute worst execution possible. minute 1 crash minute 2 crash minute 3 crash minute 4 finally get the game working and stable. This game wasn't even improved with mods and has officially taken the top spot of Total War Troy as the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ worst game I have ever made the mistake of purchasing. This is not a comprehensive list, this is just the basics... Get your ♥♥♥♥ together devs. - Unfortunately it has the most clunky and extremely unintuitive UI - Very piss poorly executed economic and empire management system - A complete lack of event awareness assistance 95% of the time you don't know stuff is happening and IF you do it isn't until it has already happened. - My fleets or constructors receive orders to do something and decide to do everything other than the orders given. Constantly spreading out for no reason, refusing to attack targets even with fleet and ship behavior set to be as aggressive as possible no matter what. Orders to go to X system? Nah I am going to go to Q system because ♥♥♥♥ you player person... It basically seems like all of my individual ship commanders are collectively brain dead at the same time. - 0 depth to espionage - 0 depth to diplomacy - 0 depth to fleet engagements if you can even get your ships to shoot the target in the first place. No it is not because the pace of the game is slow. Speed up to 8x speed and still they just sit around with their thumbs up their ass getting shot with no return fire. - 0 understanding of queued orders for fleets or builds... Not even a destination marker... just a tiny little note hidden in the bottom left that says doing x or going to y and then IT DOESNT HAPPEN... THEY END UP IN ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ NOWHERESVILLE MILKY WAY... I am surprised they even stayed in the Milky Way galaxy to begin with and didnt take a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ left at Andromeda. - Terrible color choices, distinguishing friend from foe is a nightmare. Had to double check I am not color blind and nope I am not color blind the color choices are just that bad. - Zoom to system/Zoom to universe is jittery and feels like the game is stuttering constantly - Tech tree handling is trash. - Tech research is the one possibly decent aspect of the game and even that is stretching the definition to the breaking point. At least i can pay cash to focus research and cut down on research times. - The entire game just feels laggy at the macro level even though it is not actually lagging. My advice. go play Stellaris. At least that game is stable and finished, the only thing id recommend is grabbing a UI mod for it. As for this game... see below The ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ worst part of this game is that consistently without warning or even a mild heads up the game just randomly ends in some other factions victory even with ALL VICTORY CONDITIONS TURNED OFF... and sandbox mode??? what sandbox mode. ALL of the models are just taken away and the ability to do anything once sandbox mode kicks in is NOT THERE... I mean what in the actual ♥♥♥♥ devs??? You can eat my balls on me ever purchasing another thing from your company. Complete ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. The list of negatives for this absolute dumpster fire abomination of a game goes on and I would be here until December writing what I actually think about this game. For reference it is August right now . I am genuinely angry that I wasted my money on this game and I am more than a bit annoyed at the online reviews for this game as they are blatantly full of crap. Go play literally anything else.

You really couldn't put it at 65% off in the first place? This game is barely worth the 30$ I spent and now off the back of that sale it's now 65% off and even then it would be hard justifying 20$ for this game.

Still has a bit to go to catch up to the previous game, but it definitely scratches a certain grand strategy itch for me when I'm in the mood for it.

This game is one of my absolute favorites. Its not dumbed down. It takes a while to master - but its rewarding. It needs som late game content. But its great and the improvements since launch are great.
