Critics reviews
Game Informer
8.3/10
A polished renewal of the classic franchise that’s more suited for genre newcomers than for fans looking for a highly complex strategy game.

73/100
A fun, serviceable update to the 4X legend that brings little memorable to the genre aside from its personality.

7.1/10
There’s not much that’s outright wrong with Master of Orion, but there’s not much memorable or endearing about it either. It’s built on a moderately successful but bland execution of the inside-the-box space 4X formula. The moments when its flair for leader characterization and an enjoyably complex combat engine take center stage are the only times anything about it really stands out. There’s definitely enough game here that I wouldn’t turn anyone away from giving it a spin, but I also can’t say you’d be missing anything special by skipping it.

Good but limiting
Limits you depending on how you customize your race. Even if you have it on very easy aka designing a game where you don't have to fight from day one it limits you even then. Still though good game
