Stars in Shadow by pinback 02/17/2019, 12:18pm PST
I completed a full game of Stars in Shadow, which is the first full 4X game I've completed in years. It is a woefully overlooked/underrated game which proves that everyone for the last half decade has been clamoring for "the new MOO2", but doesn't really want it, because this is it, and it's gotten completely overlooked. The devs are still providing updates, too, which is cool. The interface is in turns brilliant and woeful, but it's such a streamlined, back-to-basics space 4X experience that you deal with it.

Anyway, I know I was the guy who said every 4X game was great, but I don't play them anymore. But I played this. Is good.
