Absolutely brillient, hours of fun and plenty to do/explore. PZ points out clearly that there is no possible way to win the game, your character is doomed to eventually die. However the challenge of being able to outlast everyone else is rewarding in it's own way. I look forward to see and play the game post alpha.

Universal Civilizations originally started out as a Galactic Civilizations 2 fan game. Slowely it progressed into it's own title.

While thsi game does many things well, it's lack of unique content is it's main hinder. Begin based off Galactic Civilizations 2 many of it's features, menus and gameplay experiences are the same as the 6 year old title galciv2. What this game could benefit from is a rework of it's menus and interface, as well as a graphical overhaul. While indeed they say you should nhever judge a book by it's cover Games are a combination of graphics, sound, playablity and interface. So graphics do play a big part in a games rating.

overall what i think Universal Civilizations needs most is content to make it stand appart from galciv2, being so similar in both gameplay and interface it's hard not to compare and judge this game in comparison to the successful stardock title.
