ENDLESS™ Space 2 is a Strategic Space Opera set in a mysterious universe.
Your story unfolds in a galaxy that was first colonized by God-like beings known as the “Endless”, who rose and fell eons ago. All that remains of them are mystical ruins, powerful artifacts, and a strange, near-magical substance known as Dust.
One More Turn
ENDLESS™ Space 2 takes the classic “one more turn” formula to new heights. You will explore mysterious star systems, discover the secrets of ancient races, build colonies on distant planets, exploit trade routes, develop advanced technologies of unthinkable power; and, of course encounter new life forms to understand, to court or to conquer.
As a leader, you have to manage your populations like never before as they react dynamically to your decisions and to their environment, expressing their will through political parties, dictating the laws that your Senate can pass. Will you be a beloved natural leader or will you manipulate your populations to your benefit?
Epic Space Battles
Watch your fighters fly past huge cruisers while lasers rip their hulls apart in epic real-time space battles. Detailed after action reports will help you adapt your strategy for the next confrontations.
Design your ships, assemble your fleets and carefully adapt your battle plans to overcome your enemies. Once you think you’ve done it all, take it online against seven other players.
Strategic Space Opera
Immerse yourself in the ENDLESS™ Universe. The galaxy belongs to the civilization that controls Dust and uncovers its secrets… but were the Endless alone in the galaxy? What is the true origin of Dust?
Lead one of eight civilizations, each with a unique playstyle affinity and story quest, and build great stellar empires capable of imposing your vision on the Galaxy!

I don't know why it worked, but here's how I managed to changed my username when setting up a new game.
1) Open 'New Game' in the main menu
2) Under 'Competitors' hover over the AI name and it will allow you to edit it
3) Backspace and change the name however you want and click 'Enter', this should change your username
I've got this working only by playing offline againts bots with no mods, do try out this method if it'll work for your game. Review posted for version 1.5.60
I really enjoyed the original Endless Space, played it time and time again, so I was looking forward for more enjoyment here.
Instead, I ended up quitting for good during my second game. Why? In short, because the game sucks. It has good graphics, but that's literally all it has to go for itself. The tutorial was already kinda messed up, it gave me tons of systems to the point where everything started rebelling and no hint about what to do about it, and then a warning came that another empire was close to winning the game because it had even more systems, gave me quests I had no chance of completing, and so on...
The second game fared not much better, trolling me left and right. Systems that I was specifically guarding with a fleet suddenly turned into pirate systems just as my colony ship arrived, neutral empires that I was about to assimilate suddenly disappeared for no apparent reason, and hacking is an absolute joke! The game constantly prompts you to start hacking, then warns you about hostile traces (still no idea what that is), asks if you want to cancel your operation, but says that you'll incur a penalty for doing so, but if you continue then the hacking fails and you get a penalty anyway, and gives you no hint about what to do about it all.
All together, it feels like this game has been developed by several teams that did not talk to one another except via mail or Jira tickets, and that's why it's a jumble of moving parts that do not fit together at all. Unlike you enjoy suffering from poor design choices and such, better give this game a pass.
Positive aspects are the good graphics, catchy soundtrack and interesting playable species. I would have really liked to try them all out, only it turns out the game is actually not fun to play at all.
This game ticks all the boxes of Civilization in Space for me. Exploring and colonization of new systems, researching advanced technologies, building fleets of space ships, interacting with minor alien civilizations...
I have always liked space operas and I like Civilization games. For me, Endless Space was ideal combination.
The main positive of this game is that playing the game as a different faction really makes difference. Although they share the same technology tree, they have unique pros and cons that change the gameplay.
The ambient soundtrack is superb.
This game can take many hours of your life, if you let it (just one more turn).
I've loved Amplitude's games for ages, and Endless Space 2 is another of their great entries. It's definitely worth a try. It's beautiful, has very dynamic gameplay, and a lot of depth if you're willing to peel back the layers and explore how the game actually works.
I'm seeing a lot of concerns about how well the GOG version runs, and I've not personally had the same issues, and I run it on Linux. It seems to expect you to be on GOG Galaxy for some services which I regretfully do not have, but this is not a deal breaker for me. I'm not saying the other reviews are wrong, just that I don't see the same issues.
All in all, it's definitely a great game, and I don't see any reason not to buy it on GOG.
Re-Awakening Update s a bombshell. The best surprise anniversary update I've heard for any game. Fixing a game that I believed was very broken (battles) and unbalanced. This update doesn't just fix the dlc that it's named after, but also every other aspect of the game (including all dlc's).
I'm forever a fanboy now of AMPLITUDE studios.
As of March 2024 this is a confident must buy!
