    Galactic Civilizations IV: Supernova takes the best elements of the initial Epic release and adds plenty of new mechanics. It’s a great space and turn-based strategy experience that will please any fan of the series. All the featured civilizations are interesting and AlienGPT can quickly create more driven by player prompts. It might be a little too complex at first for newcomers but even failure, up to a point, is enjoyable. Don’t be afraid to experiment with galaxy creation and the number of rivals to get very different scenarios. Galactic Civilizations IV: Supernova is a strategy game that can deliver hundreds of hours of fun to those willing to invest energy to learn all its systems.

    One of the most famous 4X strategies has come with a new sequel and additional improvements. It has its strengths and weaknesses. Although Supernova brought some qualitative changes for the better, some aspects still should be improved.

    Galactic Civilizations 4: Supernova looks good and has lots of small details. But unfortunately it quickly runs out of steam.
