User Rating: 9.5 | Sins of a Solar Empire PC
Sins of a Solar Empire, a game were the player controls one of three civilizations to expand, research, and conquer. Its game play mechanics are very hard to get control of at first and even on an easier level you could end up felling rushed but, as you spend and put more and more hours into the game it begins to fell fun. The game has 2 basic research slots warfare and civilization, or something on that line. You can pretty much go in and research what ever pleases you, but you have to build up research stations these take up a supply point under you logistics for these types of structures.

The structures in the game are built by research more logistic slots on your planet and by selecting either a war building or social building, these are under different slots. After this you can just pretty much place them on the space plane within you gravity well. A gravity well is the gravity pulling things to stay around your planet the further away you get from your planet the less gravity is pulling on it, this gets us to another important part of the game, phase jumping.

Space is a really spacey place and if you just want to float along to other planets in Sins than the game would take you hours not to mention the hours actually playing the game. The way you phase jump is move you desired ship outside of the gravity well then you click on the desired planet as long as it is connected to the original planet by a phase lane. A phase lane is strategic importance to the game without them you would not have chock points or trade routes, the make the game harder and more fun as you progress through destroying an enemy planet one at a time.

In Sins of a Solar Empire there are 3 races for you to choose from each with their own agenda but very minor differences, they are the TEC, Vasari, and the Advent. Each race has its own agenda on how the universe should be ran, for example the Advent feel they need to spread their ideology of gods or god to other races, while the Vasari are running from an unknown enemy. When play each race they are very similar and different making it easier and harder at the same time. Although the game does not have a campaign for these three races it just makes it for you to be a little more imaginative, but for all you bring-downers of this game just because it does not have a campaign have no fear it will come out with one in the sequel.

The game play in sins is just stunning there are just so many options you have when going against an AI player or a real human player across country. It is a newer idea and breaks the line between RTS and strategy. This game is the one giant leap for mankind of the gaming world it will open the doors for thousands of other games like it. Complemented with great graphics and a pretty open world of gaming Sins of Solar Empire is a knockout hit and receives a great report from the TUBE MISTER.
