User Rating: 8.8 | Galactic Civilizations PC
By stephencasey | Review Date:
This game has the best AI, bar none. Every game randomizes the galaxy and you can play from gigantic, loosly clustered galaxies with abundant high grade colonizing planets with 5 species from pure evil to pure good, from fool AI to Genius AI. - to - tiny, tight clustered galaxies with little high grade planets, and just a couple AIs. This is a deep strategy game not a tacticle shooter. There are plenty of those. The AIs have personality and will surrender when it is hopeless. You can alley up with some when it is advantageous then stab them in the back to conquer them later. It takes a about ten hours to get your mind around it, but once you do it is easy to customize a game that is right up your alley. Endless replayability, endless.
