Still the Best in it's Class (MOO2)
As a disclaimer: I hadn't played Master of Orion in the past, so nostalgia isn't playing a factor here. I have played many of it's descendants though (Stellaris, GalCiv, Endless Space) and I can say with certainty that MOO2 remains the best 4X space game on the market. Overall, the game leans into its strongest mechanic: the tactical combat. There is a wealth of different weapon types, modifications to those weapons, and positions you can place those weapons on a ship. All of which matters significantly (especially at higher difficulties) and which will change depending on the race you're playing and who you're fighting. Not to mention it's just plain fun taking a ship you've built from scratch into a tactical battle with other ships to absolutely vaporize them - or to find out which loadouts didn't work. The tactical ship design is truly unsurpassed and unlike anything developed since then. This is to say nothing of everything else MOO2 brings to the table - a decently competent AI, excellent replayability, many races to choose from, a custom race designer, tons of research options, etc. Get this game if you're even remotely interested in space 4X, or even generally in 4X games - you won't be disappointed.
