With that said, the detail that has been put behind each construction and research options, in their own descriptions, is really staggering. These two not only give the player some sense of purpose, especially to those who tend to get lost in these kinds of games that can go on for dozens of hours, but it also provides some sort of narrative which is partially unique to the empire you’re playing as. Very much unlike the original game, but more in the veins of Endless Legend, Endless Space 2 features a quest and event system. Usually, story and narrative aren’t the strongest suit of a strategy game but, like other games in the Endless series, Endless Space 2 world building manages to be superb and it’s one of the main reasons why I find the game to be so compelling. There is a vast range of possible ways that you can use to achieve one of these victory conditions, especially when you take into account the different playstyles that each different empire can develop, thus providing a suitable experience for people with different playstyles. These range from simple conquest of enemy homeworlds to building wonders or becoming an economic powerhouse. The game consists of you, playing as one of the eight different empires, trying to become the dominant one in the galaxy by emerging victorious through one of the six different victory conditions. The game improves on pretty much every single aspect of the original, adding not only a lot more depth to it but also by adding a lot more variety. Like its predecessor, and very much like its brother Endless Legend, Endless Space 2 is a turn-based 4X strategy game with a strong sci-fi theme to it. The game has officially launched on Steam on the 19th of May, after being on Steam’s Early Access program since early October in 2016. Endless Space 2 is the latest game by Amplitude Studios, the team behind the famous Endless series, all games which I thoroughly enjoyed despite its flaws.
