I don't think I've been this addicted to a game in a long, long time.

For me Civ5 was the best strategy game of all times, and this game is very, very close to matching that experience.

I have been playing non stop for the past few days, and have not encountered a single crash or a even a bug. Rock solid.

The only downside to this game for me, is that if you are not careful it will easily eat away your life.

Probably my favorite game in like the past 5-8 years. This is a really really, REALLY good game.

Edit: Updating it for the 2018 award badge.

I'm about 5 hours or so into my first game. I honestly don't understand where all the hate for this game is coming from. After seeing low user reviews I had low expectations. But so far this game has been very enjoyable.

It may not be revolutionary, but it's the classic 4X turned based strategy game with sunny Firaxis twist to it.

The game crashed on me twice throughout the 5 hours so that maybe something I'd consider as a negative, but auto save feature did its job so no harm done. (only allows up to 10 autosaves as opposed to unlimited number of auto saves they offered back in civ 5 in case you care)

Great graphics, great music, I'm loving it.

I haven't played any of the Paradox Europa games but started playing this on Friday evening, expecting it to last maybe an hour or so before I got bored. I'm old and haven't got much time to be playing games these days.

Well, I ended up with 25+ hours played by Sunday evening. WTF!!

I haven't played anything this addictive since Civ5. Similar in concept, RTS (as opposed to turn based like Civ5) and set in space. Gorgeous graphics, very stable. Love the BGM too, it is fabulous.

Ran smooth on my GTX980Ti 3 way SLI system @ 3440x1440/100hz. Stable as a rock, in my 60+ hours of playing I haven't had a single instance of a crash. Gorgeous graphics and top notch music.

Second half of the story doesn't start until you finish the game second time around, and it is a good one.

I thought it asked some interesting questions about why we judge and choose the way we do. I insist that you give it a try if you haven't already.

Out of this World meets Limbo with 2016 graphics polish and responsive controls.

This game gripped me with its eerie, macabre atmosphere that is also beautiful and mesmerizing at the same time.

Short (4 hours or so) but striking and enjoyable in ways that will stay with me for a long long time. Highly recommended.

Running very smoothly, and in HD.
It's been like 15 years since I last played this game,
brings back alot of fond memories.

I was nervous about the game stability after reading
some of the comments left on steam, but the game
is running fine for me.

Solid graphics, good audio, great story, I'm happy.

Compelling, epic story. Great graphics (starting to look dated in '14 but still beautiful). Rich characters. Masterfully crafted ending. Solid gameplay. This game's got it all, and I insist that you give it a chance if you haven't already.

I've beaten this game more times than I care to admit on Origin and bought it here on steam just so I could uninstall Origin.

The only downside to this game, and yes there is one - is that once you finish it, you'll be left excited and drooling for its sequel... but we all know how that turned out. You'll be left with a craving which you will never be able to fill.
