Fantastic Sci-Fi Empire Builder
I bought this game after getting a Sci-Fi itch, and boy did it pay off. I played almost nonstop the first two days after getting it. I have only played through once so far, but there are plenty of surprises outside the basic gameplay loop that are fun challenges to deal with. Exploring the universe, expanding your empire, colonizing planets, fighting and befriending your neighbors, outfitting ships, researching tech and so much more have been tremendous fun. It took a couple hours to properly understand the game with the helpful tutorial, but after that you can just play as you go or delve into the mechanics as deeply as you like. Highly recommend!
