Master of Orion

No DRM on GOG, please

I will not purchasing this game cause of the Multiplayer DRM .The game it self looks pretty cool but as you only can use multyplayer with the online DRM i cant buy it. And BTW DRM and GOG dont go well together ;-)

The design is nice with a modern feel - clearly inspired by the classic games but nicely polished and some of the more repetitive micromanagement removed. I didn't mind the combat changing as much as others, since a pausable real-time system moves faster than turn-based and avoids some of the cheesier abuse of a turn-based system. Unfortunately, I've hit multiple UI-locking crashes where the game got into an unresponsive state and never unlocked. In some cases it just hung in the map view when running a turn; in others a dialog partially rendered but appeared to have hit some sort of bug in the animation system where it didn't finish painting and there was no way to unlock it. In my longest game this appears to be irresolvable – reloading from the save causes different but similar hangs. (I'd give this game something in the 3-4 range if it worked; left it at 2 because there's a chance that this only affects the Mac port or low-end hardware)

The most average game I've ever played. Graphics are nice. Sounds are fine. Gameplay is average, it is enough to keep you interested for a single playthrough at least. Interface has some flaws, but it isn't bad. I've played and enjoyed the original MoO and MoO2, and I prepurchased and really tried to enjoy MoO3. I understand that the creators of this reboot has tried to follow the recipe of MoO2, which is understandable, but when doing a reboot you either need to add something really good or copy the original completely (which I would have found extremely boring). The reboot simplifies some things and adds some minor details, such as starlanes added pausable real time tactical combat. Problem is that the simplifications removed good things (governments) and the few new additions weren't very interesting. Personally I found MoO3 (possibly the most hated sequel in gaming history) much more interesting, it had some amazing ideas (the terraforming system for instance) covered in an disastrous execution, a horrible user interface and a fair bunch of bugs. MoO3 really tried to add something new and incredible (and failed miserably). This MoO reboot doesn't really try with anything spectacular, which also means it doesn't fail with anything spectacular either. Maybe future patches and mods/dlc will improve the game, but at this point I will only recommend purchase on a good sale. I would recommend getting MoO2 instead (if you for some bizarre reason don't already have it), where the gameplay and interface is better. Graphics isn't that important in a 4x game anyway.

Someone already explained this (look for most helpful review), they require you to accept their own EULA. I have no problems with custom EULA's, but I have problem when devs/publishers are trying to use my personal data in undefined ways. Now I feel bad for buying it (I don't want to support this business model). 0/5 thanks to EULA
