Interstellar Space Genesis (ISG) is made with loving care to detail. Sure, the graphics are not cutting-edge but who cares? IMHO the game projects a wonderful charm and it's fun to play. One aspect of the game that I really appreciated was the detailed in-game tutorial for every screen. It's so good that you probably won't ever have to go to the manual for help. Also, the developers took great care in providing pop-ups explaining the drivers of production, income, research etc. You'll always know where you stand against the other empires and what you need to do to improve your numbers. The research tree is pretty deep and provides varied paths to success or failure. If you're a hardcore 4X gamer then this may not be the title for you, but if you like a game that has innovative and varied mechanics, not too much micro management, is challenging, gives you that one more turn feeling and is pleasing to the eye - then give ISG a try.
