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.
