    A little buggy but a solid improvement over universe. This game is the current king of the 4x space strategy game.

    The new king of 4x gaming. In almost every case better than the first part.

    It's a bit buggy but it has a lot of content and much more features then stelaris wen it launched well worth the price and if a healthy modding community forms it might be the best grand strategy space game especially if the developers continue to support the game like Gladius

    A Year latter and I think they really dropped the ball on this one

    Great game with great promise. Looking forward to the DLCs. Developer is constantly putting out patches.

    Distant Worlds 2 is following its predecessor’s footsteps providing us a vast and enormous 4X space sim, with more options and customization than ever. The inclusion of the ship editor is very good and adds depth (if it ever needed more) to a title that can and will be daunting for many. The inclusion of an option to delegate major parts of the gameplay to the AI is refreshing but is too tempting, and could reduce the entire game to a click simulator where all we do is to accept the AI suggestions.

    If you are looking for a sci-fi 4X where to spend the coming years of your gaming life, you just found it.

    Distant Worlds 2 is a 4X for veterans of the genre, looking for a game to challenge all their management skills. CodeForce crafted a deep, complex strategy game, albeit one that doesn't concede anything to the modern age in terms of graphics and narrative.
