The good and the bad.

How I love MoO 1. It's been one of my favorite games for over 20 years. I've just started MoO 2 and am baffled by it. While MoO 1 excelled in elegant simplicity, MoO 2 has so many screens, options, and controls that I have no idea what to do. So far, I haven't even found a way to exit the game without closing the window. I may spend more time reading the manual than actually playing.

Highs and Lows of 4X

Master of Orion 1 is a great game, good exploration and pacing, great planetary management and tech development, memorable and iconic artwork, and battles which are although a bit abstract are great in that they scale well into the late game. Whereas Master of Orion 2 is frankly one of the biggest disappointments I've played. They thought it fit to include Master of Magic-style city management into a game that deals with galactic empires. In present day, developed world, about 4% of our population is in agriculture but in this game you're going to have entire planets growing wheat. Ships have too much detail, and for all their detail many battles against say the Antarans will see your entire fleet wiped out before you can so much as scratch your nose. Tried to get into MOO2 multiple times but always left complete unsatisfied. Unfortunate that 4X has been saddled with this model for so long. Moo2 2/5 stars

Changed my mind, one of the best games!

Thanks to GOG for allowing us to edit reviews. I used to rate this game as mediocre, but after playing it a lot, I've come to realize it's an amazing game—both the first and second installments. The key was reading the manual in-depth, which made everything make so much more sense. You can play with several races, not all of them equally capable, but it's a lot of fun trying to exploit your strengths and cover your weaknesses. Both games are about the same thing: designing your own ships and dominating a galaxy with different factions, but they do it in different ways. Both have adjustable difficulty and plenty of game options that add to the replayability. The game runs perfectly; I don't think it has ever crashed on me. Some people say that Master of Orion 2 has too much micromanagement. I don't think that's true, especially if you use the "Colonies" tab. I would even say that Master of Orion 1 is worse in that regard when you have multiple fleets moving around. I learned to appreciate this game when I tried others like Stellaris or Endless Space. I liked Master of Orion much more because it's simpler, but at the same time, it has much more creative mechanics. I'm referring to the technology tree—they aren't just simple modifiers; there's a lot of tech that can completely turn the game around and make you play in a different way. If you dedicate a little time to it, you're going to love it.

Amazing Deal

I only owned MOO2, but even though I still have the disk somewhere, I plan on buying this pack. This is the essential space strategy game collection. While I prefer the fantasy theme in Master of Magic, Master of Orion 1 and 2 are significantly deeper and more complex. Designing your own ships and taking control of the fleets that you have led to your opponent's base planet is a thrill like few others.
