I enjoy the game but selling DLC like the campaign and additional race seems like a money grab. I bought the game at full price but pretty much just got a prettier version of Sins 1. Feel a bit ripped off.

The first game had a super easy map editor, ingame with whom you could build fantastic maps. This Game has Solar Forge, a buggy, overly complicated and ugly mess. Here are some of my experiences: 1. I see in help that you can copy and paste thing. Cool makes my work much easier! But every time I paste a copied thing, he also creates another copy of that thing over what you had copied. So if you copy a planet with two moons and paste it in another system, there are now two planets and four moons in the original system on top of each other. In addition, it pastes the items with the same ID, even though only one item with the same ID is allowed... There is no way to change ID... SO WHY LET US COPY SOMETHING IN THE FIRST PLACE IF IT IS USELESS?? 2. I deleted a Solar system by mistake, looked for a way to reverse my action, found a button combination that reverses previous action in the help section... It reversed everything I had done! No problem, next to it is a button combination that d...

I Love this game so much and they have added some good fixes compared to the previous games but like it feels like the same game. I Expected new empires, buildings, tech etc. Fundamentally its nearly the same game as the others before it. DLC's should be free and New empire needs to be free. I enjoy it overall and it better than the previous but feels like not alot of effort was put into this. I hope you keep improving the game. Take a page our of Larian Studios!

There is really no excuse for the amount of AI generated art. Also for a game with only offline skirmishes and online multiplayer there needs to be a more challenging AI to play against.

Is this a joke? I bought a full price game and.. Nothing. It's completely empty. You can do skirmish and online pvp. There's no Campaign, no story, no single player mode (apart from skirmish). Nada. Completely devoid of content. Even the character preset faces are AI generated slop. There's some DLC, but I'm not dumb enough to buy more things for something that should've been sold complete. I'm refunding this.

AI art all over the place, its frankly just heinous to look at. Not what I'd expect from a game from serious developers at this price point.

NO campaign in main game

Initially on launch I thought this was great and everything we wanted - a modern sins 1. The fun quickly waned though, and the big economy/durability patch early 2025 brought me back. I think this is *fine*, but has some severe annoyances as a solo player. #1 - The AI is a rat. They will not attack head on unless they have an overwhelming advantage, and will basically only strike vulnerable spots that you are 2+ jumps from. When they are losing, they retreat almost immediately, and keep retreating. If you rally ships, this basically turns every game into "win one encounter, push to home planet". #2 - Starbases are terrible if they aren't Vasari. The default Vasari starbase can move, rotate, and engage with all weapons in almost any direction. The stock advent and TEC starbases struggle to hold even the most basic of fleets off since they can only bring ~30% of their firepower to bear in the direction of an attack - even against hangar fleets when they have 16x PDs. ...

The gameplay and features are amazing but the AI art is just lazy. The art is apparently "trained by art made by the developers, and further refined through the art team", but in my opinion it is so lazy ToT. I would MUCH rather have seen the art style from Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion, which I find to be fantastic. I really wish they put in that little extra amount of effort to create original art and not shortcut to AI art. Regardless game is still decent just not worth the price.

Its an overall QoL upgrade from SoaSe:RE, the exotics make game desicions much more impactful in the early game. but once you get to tier 3, then the game falls into a titan rush. as always the engine come to a crawl when there are too many units in the map. thats why the better the processor, the better the overall flow in the late game. my only grip is that having a complete capital only fleet is not as viable as before.
