Distant Worlds Reviews

Distant Worlds is a vast, pausable real-time, 4X space strategy game which models a "living galaxy" with incredible options for replayability and customizability. Experience the full depth and detail of large turn-based strategy games, but with the simplicity and ease of real-time, and on the scale of a massively-multiplayer online game. Now greatly enhanced with the new Universe release, which includes all four previous releases as well as the new Universe expansion!

87/100 Metacritic score - not bad! [8D]

For Metacritic that really is not bad. Lucky for me I didn't see that before I bought. Kind'a like movie critics. If the reviewers love a game - especially on metacritic - I find I usually don't and vice versa.

I've played many a 4X space game and they usually retain my attention for a few weeks at most. DW:Universe has got my attention and I don't see it going away for a long while.

Really deep game - love it.

Lots of amazing reviews for the game. Its not hard to see why. You can honestly dump hundreds of hours into it and every single gameplay will be different. The mods only add even more flavor to an already perfect game. Mods that advance the technology tree or add tons of more races makes things even more awesome. I've only put 50 hours in myself so far but I have no intentions of stopping soon.
I play and commentate games with a heavy emphasis on 4x, Strategy, Tycoon, and Roguelikes.

Agreed! I have come to see DW as my gom jabbar from Dune. For example; out of the four most recent people I have turned on to DW, three have run screaming that it was "too complicated"- the fourth can't stop playing it! [:'(]
