Early Access release is on the 22nd of September so still quite a while till the full game is out. Demo goes till Monday August 18 if you are busy.
My own feelings are AMPLITUDE Studios is amazing at the whole aesthetic side speak gfx/art/UI and music. Endless Space 2 is fucking gorgeous. But they do feel mechanically weaker than some other tighter games.
While imho not as good looking (yet?) as Endless Space 2 … Endless Legend 2 makes a good first impression but I gotta play the demo a bit more. Game is also probably gonna see at least 6 months of EA . So this is an early version of the full game and also time limited.
I cant really talk much about Endless Legend 2 beyond its fancy looks; gotta play it more (which I will do now)
My Nr.1 Takeaway and what I do like so far this feels Alien as fuck in a good way. It feels not like fantasy. More like sci-fi really.
Iirc this is a sci-fi, just taking place on a planet with low tech, all the magic is basically nanotech dust left by precursor civilisation or some way to manipulate energy from other dimensions.
Oh yeah I know about all that. Its just that Endless Legend 2 completely sheds the skin of fantasy. The game and the world it plays in feel even more Alien than what you get in Endless Legend 1. The planet and the changing conditions enhance that feel.
It’s going to be interesting to see where they go with districts after civ stole the idea
