ENDLESS Space™ - Definitive Edition

本质上我只是为了补票才购买的，十五年前，我还未成年的时候，我的家庭不可能会允许我用钱去购买游戏，我在逗游游戏盒子上下载你这款游戏，很荣幸，您的作品是我星际殖民类游戏的启蒙，甚至是我会玩P社游戏的启蒙。期待未来有佳作吧，因为我大概只玩过你们开发的本款游戏。

Would be a great game, if the company hadn't decided to go into data grabbing business. Now its just a contagious corpse in my hidden games graveyard.

The computer players are just bad. The game is okay overall and the music is good. Yet, the initial few turns are just dull. Your first war will either be a boring stomp as you destroy their ships without taking damage or you will be wiped out in one battle. I don't care about creating a custom race for bonuses against the AI. The AI always grows faster than you because of the discounts it recieves to account for the fact that it starts wars it has no chance of winning. Fun as a brief distraction. The other games by this studio are better than Endless Space but it was tolerable when it came out. The story of dust and the Endless are also better explored in their other games. At least they ended development and made a sequal. Not as bad as Sid Meier's Starships. FTL and Stellaris are much better space games.

This was the first "clean" space 4X I'd ever played. I greatly enjoyed Birth of the Federation, long ago, but it was a buggy mess, especially on later operating systems. Sins of a Solar Empire, as well, always felt messy to me, despite being a grand ole time. Endless Space felt smooth and uninterrupted, bug free, and it was new for me, someone who always loved sci-fi and desperately wanted a premier empire management game in that space. I return to this every few years to play a handful of games, much like I do with the Civilization and Total War series.

Замечательная пошаговая классика!

A beautifully sleek, atmospheric masterpiece that proves spreadsheets in space can be genuinely gorgeous. Endless Space is the foundational game that launched Amplitude Studios' critically acclaimed "Endless" universe, and it remains one of the most stylish and polished 4X strategy games ever made. In a genre that is often plagued by cluttered menus and overwhelming data dumps, this game is a breath of fresh air. The user interface is an absolute triumph of game design—it is incredibly clean, intuitive, and visually stunning, making the daunting task of managing a massive, sprawling galactic empire feel remarkably smooth. Coupled with a hauntingly beautiful, atmospheric soundtrack, you can easily lose dozens of hours just zooming out to admire the glowing starlanes of your territory. What truly sets this game apart from its competitors is the sheer variety and depth of its factions. This isn't a game where every alien race feels like a simple palette swap with a +5% laser damage bonus. Playing as the knowledge-obsessed Sophons requires a completely different strategic mindset than playing as the Cravers, a race of relentless insectoid cyborgs who literally consume and deplete their own planets to fuel their eternal war machine. The asymmetrical design encourages you to completely change your playstyle with every new campaign, and if you somehow get bored of the base races, the custom faction creator is deep enough to let you design your own perfect sci-fi empire. The only aspect of the game that might divide players is the combat system. Instead of frantic, real-time tactical micromanagement, fleet battles here are handled through a cinematic, rock-paper-scissors "card" system across three engagement phases (long, medium, and short range). It is much more hands-off, relying heavily on how well you designed your ships in the dockyard beforehand rather than your reflexes during the fight. However, if you prefer the grand, big-picture strategy of exploration, economic dominance, and political maneuvering over clicking individual laser turrets, Endless Space is an absolute must-play classic of the 4X genre. 9/10 — I conquered the galaxy not with mighty armadas, but by buying out the entire galactic economy with Dust.
