okay. i enjoy granular management and spreadsheets. if you're into more recent 4x stuff like civ 6 or older stuff like master of orion i think you should play this. what sets amplitude apart from your average 4x dev team (no disrespect to firaxis and the like, your stuff is interesting too but, yknow) is how they're able to convey stories through the mechanics of their management through things like quests, events, unique planets or areas, or even gimmicks unique to a faction. i found the narratives conveyed by both primary faction stories and side quests to be very compelling, helping to flesh out a massive universe of sci-fi with a very storied history. a recent update has also made the DLC that everyone hates (awakening) actually good now too, so i'd say it's a pretty good time to get into this game.
