metacritic aside, what is this game and is it any good/has anyone played it?

How does it compare to other 4x space games? I want to play one.

its literally vanilla civ 5 but in space. so it's crap

are you talking about beyond earth or starships?

beyond earth seemed like "civ 5, but on an alien planet," when really what i want is civ in space, with a little bit of polish

Not only that, it's free in the form of Ur-Quan Masters.

it's free, in my top 10 games, and has aged fairly well for how ancient it is, in video game terms.

i recommend disabling the voice acting but that's probably just because that is the way that i played it first.

one city frequently featured in the civ games for the greeks is Pharsalos, which sounds a little like farts-a-lot, if you think about it.
