Probably the ideal 4X Grand Strategy for me. It's rich in depth of story, scale and tactics. No two play-throughs feel anything alike. I learnt so much about political ideology and societal structure through this game. It is truly vast and fulfilling, with so much modded content and DLC (I'm serious, there's at least 4 whole games worth of DLC) that you will likely never see everything this has to offer. Not to mention the easter-eggs and nods to other sci-fi pop culture. It is impressive how much love the devs have put into this. My only gripe is the planetary combat and the absolute performance slowdown that happens in the endgame (during Crisis). That said, I haven't played over a year of patches, so a lot could have changed.

My favorite Space grand strategy
