Nexus 5X

Crashes on startup as of about a year ago. Guess they never fixed it, dead game.

Very well-made. Feels like a 4X game from the start. Quick to learn with satisfying depth. It reminded me of Twilight Imperium and Stellaris, and I felt I'd rather play this than both of them. Honestly, I'm really impressed with the balancing act that Whatboy Games pulled off.

Abondoned and lacks content

This review is not directed at the developers themselves, but at their choice of publisher. Following the recent controversy surrounding Paradox, including statements made about Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and the moderation of Turkish players, I no longer wish to financially support this company. Studios choosing to work with Paradox should be aware of the company they are partnering with, and I expect them to take a clear position when situations like this occur. Until this matter is addressed satisfactorily, I will not purchase or support games published by Paradox. Choosing a publisher is not only a business decision. Players are also free to make their own decisions accordingly.

Back when this was announced, I was really interested, but I never got into it. Now, much later, I gave it a go and completed the story that introduces the many mechanics one at a time. This game clearly takes inspiration from the board game Twilight Imperium, but is it's own version. If you like that board game style of 4X I reccomend this.

Does what it says on the tin pretty well.
