Hey everybody. Hope you are all having a good day. This week I’ve been playing some Minecraft and also continuing my playthrough of Elden Ring seamless co-op. I hope you all have had a good week!

    Im back into Galactic Civilizations 4. It’s a space 4X game, and I have about 20h in it. I have mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, it really nails that “one more turn” vibe. It also has nice music and the production values are generally pretty high. On the other hand, there is a lot of AI art in this game, which I think is a bit ridiculous for a larger production. (I can forgive it with smaller indie type games.)

    Overall, fun game, though I feel like games tend to really start to drag in the later phases. But that’s similar in many Civ style games…I guess.

    Edit: Also one of those games that REALLY makes use of your RAM if you have it and can support massive galaxies if you happen to have 64GB of RAM. If, for some reason, you wanna play games that last months.

    I myself am good with mid-sized or huge maps at most, though, since games already take quite a while. As a cool sidenote, the base game without DLC does come with like 20+ playable alien races, which is much more than most games of this type, so that’s pretty cool. They are also a bit more asymmetrical, though not as much as something like Endless Space 2, at least on the level of the leaders in Civ 6.
