“Man this is my favorite 4X game I have ever played. I love this game. However I do not know what the dev did but it is unstable now. The game keeps crashing and it keeps taking steam and discord with it every time it…”
“A great game overall that is sadly still marred by bugs, some of which are sadly game breaking. For example the Unfallen need to connect space systems via "vines" (they are a tree race) and if this connection is severed…”
“Endless space 2 is a 4x game that ticks all the boxes for me. Its unique enough where it has its own distinct feeling, but not so unique that the mechanics would feel alien or strange. For me Endless Space 2 is the…”

“Overall, an excellent game! Been playing this for a long while now and I always come back to it. Great art, visuals, lore, musical scores, sound effects and of course, the UI and how intuitive and user friendly the game…”
“I think this is the game that has convinced me that turn-based 4X Civilization-style strategy games are just not for me. I can't think of anything this game really does wrong. It's got good graphics and animations,…”
“game is great with unique mechanics, beautiful art and animation. unfortunately, it's riddled with bugs. some factions are way too strong and the game is quite imbalanced which spoils the fun. AI is dumb. mainly due to…”

“Yes. It's really good - story, atmosphere, design, gameplay, voice acting, everything. But damn the combat sucks so bad because there's none of it. I would have killed for Endless Space 2 to have the same fighting…”
“Looking at the playtime of other reviews being in the 100-6000 hour range I guess I can only review this game as a "beginner" with just 7 hours, but my experience was not fun or enjoyable and I would not recommend this…”

“Pros: - polished UI that doesn't hide information but also isn't full of spreadsheets - good replayability thanks to very different factions - interesting event-driven stories and galactic lore Cons: - the AI opponents…”
“It's a nice game, the art style and music are great. Each faction is distinct and favors different playstyles, they're not just reskins. As far as spectacle goes, the space battles are ok, but the ground battles aren't.…”

“Everything about this game points it to be something I should love, but I just don't? All the individual elements are great, but when together just don't mesh. Its very detailed but at the same time shallow, very…”
“Amplitude has effectively censored me on the forums, but they will have to eat my ♥♥♥♥ in this review: This game was incredible when it was young. It was mostly free of bugs and idiotically implemented game mechanics.…”

“This game gets boring quite quickly. Perhaps it should be bought with all DLCs, but the base game plus a few extras leaves it with around a couple of hours of interest before it starts to become a clicking time waster.…”
“Endless Space 2 is a beautiful game with cool lore and a soundtrack that absolutely slaps. It lacks depth and replayability imo when compared to something like Stellaris, but then again, it isn't trying to be Stellaris.…”

At this point I played it so much I've experienced every possible piece of content there is to see. And I still crave more.

— a player, Steam review · 871 hrs played“Lower the difficulty if you are suffering from skill issues instead of leaving a negative review. Invest into ground unit upgrades and put OpEx gear on your support ships if you cannot win an invasion. If the game is too stressful even at Sandbox difficulty then go play Tetris.”
