Posted on November 22, 2017 by SynCaine

I played Endless Space 2 (ES2) during its free weekend last week, and picked it up on Monday before the sale ended. It’s a good 4X strategy title, especially if you liked Endless Legends (basically the fantasy version of Endless … Continue reading →

DOS2: Late-game quality drop off

Posted on October 18, 2017 by SynCaine
