So does anyone have any opinion on this?

PS: Who would of thought Wargaming.net would be behind this remake?
Steam reviews make me stay away.
I still play the original, and sometimes MoO2 (I own MoO3, but would hesitate to claim that I've ever actually played it--in fact I question whether anyone was ever able to actually play the thing). What does the remake offer that should make me want to get it, too?
I was watching one of the pre-access videos one time...apparently they outsourced game development to Argentina? :hmm:

the reviews are pretty bad. Even Stellaris is ranked better. Wait for a special and buy Galciv 3 with all the DLCs so far.
On the other hand, a lot of reviews seem to be suggesting it is just a pretty version of the original.

Bad memories of the Highlander II movie shot and co-produced in Argentina? :P

yes, but it's been 20 years. 20 years of evolution to redo the same thing? :)
But...but...they got Mark Hamil to play a bird man!
It is a pretty remake of MOO2 with slightly fewer features.
I enjoyed it for a while then swiftly got bored, got my money's worth imo. So buy it if you are well-off or wait until it is on sale.
It is, basically, a very professionally done remake of MOO2 with some changes.
The issue is, of course, that MOO2 remakes have been made regularly, especially in recent years.
Only a handful of the abundant 4x sci-fi offerings (Distant Worlds, Polaris Sector, Star Ruler 2, and Stellaris) were brave enough to set the MOO2 heritage aside.
So, this game is the best MOO2-style game out there, by a long margin especially if you consider UI and graphics. But the concept of MOO2-style games is worn out and old, at least for me.
Was surprised when I saw a boy reading an article of this in one of those gaming magazines. I was intrigued. So it's basically just a MoO2 remastered version?
