The original game is a classic. The "Enhanced Edition" is a near-clone, with some additional content. If you haven't played it before, or would like a deep RPG to put on your tablet, this is a good buy. It is $20 for the Enhanced Edition vs. $10 for the original + mods (some assembly required) – give these guys your money so they can make "Baldur's Gate 3".
A TBS with a sense of humor doesn't come along every day. Don't mistake light-hearted for light-headed, however - "Warlock 2: The Exiled" is a solid, if limited, game. It can provide hours of fun in an attractive package without overwhelming the player with detail.
Does a good job walking the thin line between economy-sim and RTS. Gives a good "build it and then knock it down" feeling with varied and colorful units.
Another success in the line of Civ games. It does a good job of setting the scene and taking the player along on a story of hope, struggle and triumph. The ability to customize your side both before and during the game will lend itself to long debates over the "best " strategies. Replayability and the inevitable mods and expansions will keep this on your hard drive for a long time.
Welcome to the new king of fantasy turn-based 4X strategy. While not perfect, this game has achieved many of its lofty goals. A must-buy for any fan of TBS games, Endless Legends could put a dent in the sales of that other big game coming out soon. It is that good.
A standard space-based RTS. Short, but also cheap, worth picking up if you are a fan of the genre or are just itching for some old-school RTS action. Otherwise, you won't miss anything.
A good game marred by bugs and lack of documentation. Once it is fixed it should be back on top but it does not justify a higher score.
Tried and true mechanics combine with flexible customization and an interesting asymmetric challenge to create a fun, challenging game. Worth playing for both newcomers and fantasy TBS veterans alike. A dash of humor and sense of progress make the time fly by.
Fans of CivBE will want to pick this one up. While nothing groundbreaking has been added, the new features flesh out some gameplay from the original, and add the new frontier of aquatic colonization. Perhaps a little heavy on the micromanagement, the overall pace of the game retains that "one more turn" quality.
In summary, if you like GalCiv3, you will like this expansion. The primary problem with it is simply the lack of new material. Other than the Bazaar, this has the feeling of a well-done couple of DLCs. Not really worth the 20 bucks except for fans of the series.
