I'll Fetch My Sarcasm Robes
The game becomes unstable/laggy when I load a previously saved game, but not when I'm playing a new game. :( Makes playing big long games kinda lame.

Overall it's been GC2 with some streamlining and a couple new refinements, which I'm kinda ok with because I really loved GC2 despite it's flaws. I'm hoping that with some expansions and workshop support GC3 will blossom into something new and exciting.

Sword of the Stars 1 is a decent space game with some unique mechanics, like how each race moves through space differently. It's worth reading about and maybe picking up.

Sword of the Stars 2 is an unplayable, buggy mess that took the worst micromanagement bits of Sword of the Stars and made them central gameplay mechanics that require even more micromanagement. Its only saving grace is that it has a pretty battle system. Avoid the game like the plague. Free is too much to pay for it.

SotS2 was such a huge let down.Awhile back I found SotS1 and played it, thought "this is really great but could use a modern update" and then found out that a sequel was like a month away. I read all about the new game and got super excited about it. Then it came out and it was so terrible I almost cried.

There were some really cool components, like the differing movement systems, the way armor worked on your ships, and the randomized tech trees, but the rest of the game was unplayable.
