It's been more than three years since I last played Endless Space. Seeing that it's on sale this weekend makes me remember how much I really wanted to like this game. You hear people say that a lot about games...no ♥♥♥♥, eh? Bought it, of course you want to like it.

Skip the blah and straight to the TLDR summary;

Endless Space is boring and disappointing. Though somewhat challenging, it's dull and doesn't do enough to hold my interest. End result...to live up to the challenge, I'd be doing so only for the achievements or just out of complete hardheadedness. There are plenty of better games to play, and most of us have friends and/or family that deserve more of our time than this.
