To date, ES has sold well over a million copies on Steam alone. While it was not a perfect game by any means, its revolutionary mechanics and fantastic storylines made it an instant hit with turn-based strategy fans.
Amplitude neglected the tutorial part in their first release.Back in 2012, Amplitude Studios almost single-handedly resurrected the Space 4X genre from a cryogenic sleep with Endless Space. Oh you can do that.sure BUT it requires some knowledge on your part to do successfully so you cannot really avoid the front effort which is massive.Įvery game with a certain amount of complexity has this problem and more recent titles in 4x try to improve their tutorial in order to make the break-in easier. At first you wont understand anything (I certainly went through that stage) but if you "want" to understand it then improving your matches is not all that difficult.Īpart from the guides available I think every honest question put on this forum is being replied to so you cannot complain that you dont have a chance to learn the ropes.Įndless Space is not a game that you pick up and play for a few minutes. All you need to do is play the game and pay attention to whats happening. If you are easily frustrated and have a low treshold for spending effort then chances are you ll never realize what kind of a game Endless Space is. Prior experience in 4x as well as a thicker hide when it comes to the learning process are assets in Endless Space. Reading "essays" as you put it certainly helps but its not a requirement. I guess its safe to say that todays generation isnt used to games which doesnt help them along but drop them into the fray without much assistance. The overall majority of the reviews sides with the positive side and IMO most of the negative reviews can be easily disregarded due to cusswords or pure venting vitriol and overall agressiveness from the author whenever someone "dares" to correct them. One review describes it as "fantastic" the other says its a POS. Whats becoming very obvious is that reviews often are extreme opposites in what they express. Sad thing for me about ES2 is that some great ES factions were either made minors or removed and there aren't enough factions now to even fill up a large game. But once you figure it out its a breeze.Īnother reason for bad reviews might be that it has ES2 to compete with now, which has a much more in depth immersive feel. The hard part part is, like people said, it throws a lot of stuff at you at the beginning and not a great tutorial.
I find the game pretty easy, somewhat too predictable now. Everything else as far as I can tell, combat and such, is the same. You used to be able to defeat an AI by getting them to surrender their last system in diplomacy. I'm pretty sure I've noticed a change in the past year. They just did it to Stellaris, and that game became zero fun. I completely agree with giving a negative review for a game that has fundamental changes made to it long after release.
