Space Games

[Plutonius]

Wow, I remember when this game came out in the 90s. Talk about a blast from the past

Looks like the game was re-released/re-mastered.

Yep, they did a great job on the re-master.

Like any other game on Steam, I would wait until it goes on sale.

I have always had a sweet spot for space games but over the years I have developed more mix feelings.

Starting out with Escape Velocity in the 90s.
After playing Sid Meyers Alpha Centauri, Iwar, Homeworld, X2, Kotor 1&2, Civ: Beyond worlds, Mass Effect, Elite Dangerous and Stellaris and seriously considered Eve Online, X3&4, Star Citizen, No mans sky and Starfield I have hard to find something that match my current preferences.

- I have limited time, so Eve online and other MMOs are out, I also prefer co-op instead of pvp.
- I prefer games where you control the game pace. Realtime action or long cinematics with dialogs you cannot stop is not on my wishlist.
- Spaceflight simulators is not my thing, I struggled a lot with the flying bit in Iwar and ED.
- It is very hard to both show the vastness of space and also fill it with meaningful and varied activities (so long ED, No mans sky and Starfield)

Guess I am stuck with Stellaris for now, dreaming of a rerelease of Alpha Centauri.

I recently tried Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion and said no thanks. If I want to do this, I'll pull out Homeworld remastered, although my understanding this is a broader scenario vs Homeworld.
