Endless Space

I enjoyed the few hours I spent in the game but took away two things from it. 1, it made me want to play Stellaris. 2, all of these Endless & 4X games are the same. Endless Legend came out 2 years later and is essentially exactly the same game set in fantasy instead of space - I prefer the fantasy setting. As usual this has science, money, production, buildings, population growth etc. I had a few resolution issues with this one (planet names fuzzy and too large) and I found the research tree quite difficult to navigate. The real time combat is also terrible.
