So I've given this game a chance on a couple of occasions now
So I've given this game a chance on a couple of occasions now. Has a lot of work gone into this game? Yes. Has all this work made it a great game? No. In simple terms this game is basically a bimbo. It looks really good, animates well, sounds great, but is just one of the most boring games I've ever come across. In essence the gameplay makes this a poor man's Endless Space. Other reviews have gone into great detail on the failings of the gaming system including the AI's bizarre behaviour. I'd add to these things like the galactic council being a rather grandiose, yet pointless cut scene that comes up far too regularly. The missile defence systems also appear to be seriously OP. The pollution mechanic is pointless and just wastes time for the most part rather than adding any kind of extra dimension to strategy. Finally the battle mechanic is incredibly two dimensional and untrustworthy in places. For example a space monster vs 5 frigates, it will tell you your 5 frigates have a 99% chance of winning and then the simulation will have them wiped out completely inflicting no damage on the space monster. That bit qualifies the game as broken when its own mechanics don't reflect what will happen. The game has been out a long time now, so if it hasn't been fixed by now I doubt it ever will. Looks like the developers were simply milking a cash cow on this one. Unfortunate for anybody who was a fan of the originals.

I played MOO and it was great
I played MOO and it was great. I played MOO2 and it was outstanding with many, many, many, many nights up way, way later than I should of because 'just one more turn.' M003 was terri-bad. Released to favorable press, the fact is this game is just dull. Dull enough that I have just 37 hours of playtime since it was released over a year ago. Making it worse, is that the navigation of menus and game assests like fleets, planets, etc. within the game is tedious. If you're looking for a space-based 4X game, find a different one. Stellaris is pretty good. There are others.

I don't get the negative reviews of this game
I don't get the negative reviews of this game. I first bought Stellaris and then Endless Space 2. Unfortunately I found them both over complicated and that they required an insane amount of micro managment. Master of Orion on the other hand is easy to learn even if the tech tree is deep. The tutorial system is awesome and the playable races are really well made and has superb voice acting. So If you are looking for a great 4X space game that is easy to learn but have depth enough to keep you busy for a very long time I really recommend this game.
