For anyone curious, the Star Wars Empire at War footage features the Thrawn's Revenge mod, not the vanilla game. Even vanilla, it's possibly my favorite and most-played game, but the modding scene is definitely keeping it relevant 19 years later.
I really enjoyed Endless Space 2 as a turn based strategy game. Depending on your progress through the tech tree you can go many different routs. Ultimately, it is VERY addicting. Stellaris is what I am hooked on at the moment. The amount of DLC's and Mods available for the game are pretty crazy. I also love that you can create your own empire from scratch, all with different origins and traits. You can make a machine AI race to exterminate the galaxy, or a Psionic race allied with a Fallen Empire (That eventually goes away anyway) to either rule though subterfuge, diplomacy, or force. It's a great game. Sins of a Solar Empire 2 is next on my list to try. I can't give a review on it as I have not played it yet, but I like what I have seen already.
Surprisingly, Sword of the Stars 1 takes the top spot. An incredible game. When enemy glasses / heats your planet and you hear "help us!" "help us!", it gets to you.... especially if you don't have a fleet in range to save them. This game has a cult following, and rightfully so. Design your ships. Randomized tech tree. Space dolphins OP. Each race has different FTL mechanic. Real time space battles with each turret on a ship firing independently. Just incredible game.
Yes. It is a travesty what they did with the sequel. SotS 2 was the first game I bought on release, full price. A year later, when all the bugs and crashes were fixed, the design was still worse than the first...
Heya Luke, another great show. I put X4:Foundations on my Steam wish list, based on your glowing recommendation. Well this week it went on Steam sale for 70% off! My games spending has been severely curtailed since I retired, but again based on your rec, I snapped this one up for a mere 22 bucks CDN. I spent yesterday afternoon going through the basic tutorials and when my schedule gives me a few hours more, I'll be back in the big seat to start making my mark. Initially, the game looks quite complex, so I expect there will be great value for my meagre dollars and I'm in no hurry so there will be plenty of time to absorb all the little details!

Ive recently been trying to use boarding more, but i dont want to design all the ships myself. Is there a way to have the ships upgrade, but keep the boarding module in there ?

I have played more than a thousand hours of Endless Space 2, and even if it has, as every games, its shortcomings, this is a game I keep coming back to when I want a vast galactic adventure exploring, discovering and colonizing planets, fighting for and using ressources, expanding and reaching victory conditions that are not all necessarly militaristic in nature. The music, the lore and the visual are stunning, as always with Amplitude Studios, who happens to have just teased Endless Legend 2, the sequel to one of the best fantasy sci-fi 4X ever, I strongly recommend their games !
This is the list Ive been waiting for. X4: Foundations is an epic mix of Space Sim and Empire game. Stellaris is well the gold Standard and I can understand your obsession with Endless Space 2!
I met the artist who created Stars in Shadow online years ago on DeviantArt. I thought they were just doing a webcomic at the time. So cool to learn of the success of this project!
Space Engineers 2 I believe is out now, at least as an early access. But the firsd Space Engineers game is pretty great. Only your imagination really is the limit for all the creations you can make. And you get to explore space and planets.
I loved getting into Space Engineers, but after just 200 hours i got bored because there is no story. I moved on to Empyrion and got 1500 hours out of it because there was a story. No story = 200 hours Story = 1500 hours Notice the difference?
Great list! I've had time off work and just put 18 hours in on Stellaris in two days, going to sleep just to wake up and continue. Robotic hivemind is OP
Great list! DW2, ISG, SW: EaW, and (most of all) Stellaris are all long-time favorites. I was especially happy to see Stars in Shadow and Nexus 5x mentioned early on. Both are definitely underrated gems, and deserve more attention (and sales). I was also pleasantly surprised to see the Master of Orion 2016 game on the list. I admittedly don't think it's good as a remake, but I do think it's a decent 4x game. It's gotten a lot more hate than it's deserved IMHO. Galactic Ruler: Enlightenment, Stellar Monarch 2, EotFS, and Star Dynasties are all on my "List of Shame" -- I own them, but have barely played them, despite very much wanting/intending to do so! (Dang it.)
What a great comment! I also have some games I haven't put enough time into and one would be Distant Worlds 2! But a lot of games on this list are on my regular rotation :)
Nice list. I never really got on with Star Ruler, but should probably give the 2nd one a go. Most of the others are already in my library :) Agree on Star Dynasties - well worth a look. Also would suggest Imperium Galactica 2 (old game but enhanced with high res and works well on Win 11).
And "Haegemonia", with the "Solon Heritage" expansion, the sequel in the genre from Digital Reality. It works under win10, and with a little mod you can have procedural system generation, that was the most relevant weak point of the game.
Oh boy, Distant Worlds 2, Terra Invicta and Sword of the Stars are awesome. Also Sins of a Solar Empire 2. Ive only recently got into some Ai War 2 with a couple friends, its really cool. God I have so many of these games :D .
Nice list. Could have shown more combat footage for Starsector, because this is what usually grabs people and is the most impressive part visually and atmosphere-wise. X4 and Starsector are my go-to, also Startraders... And as much as I love X4 (+mods), the universe is 10 times more "alive" in Starsector + nexerelin for example, with factions engaging in espionnage, trade wars and such against each other. X4 is very limited in that regard, but hopefully the Diplomacy update coming this year might flesh it a bit more. Endless Space 2 and Stellaris are also such gems.
Great list! I have 14 of the 20 you have suggested. Based on your recommendation, I am going to give Star Dynasties a try. Thanks, keep up the good work
Hopefully someone at Stardock will try to mend fences - I've always liked their origin story: made games and utilities for OS/2, then when the OS got yanked out from under them, pivoted to Windows. Bizarrely, I think most of their business in in utility programs for Windows. Don't know of any other game developer that has that type of business.
I came to the comments to say something similar. I've had brief interactions with them over the years on their forums and discord as I've been a fan of their games for a LONG time. I'm no one of importance or influence though, just a fan. I'm curious, but what happened that turned you off to them?
Quite a few of those games on the list look like they belong in the 1990's, or older, NOT 2025?? I noticed X4 get mentioned.... i played x2, loved it, i played x3 reunion, it was a bit harder but way better, i played Terran conflict, it was my limit of complexity... I mean, setting up trade and manufacturing networks just hurt my brain in TC when it was so easy in x2 and x3, so i tapped out of the series after that. I loved the Stardock Galactic civilization games from 1 to 3, but then they started seriously messing with 3 and i hated the direction they were going in, so i tapped out of that series as well and this is why i have not played Sins and don't plan too in the future.
Point of order, much of that footage used for EAW was from the Mod community. The base game is a loving touch of nostalgia, but pretty basic. The Mod community are the ones keeping it modernized and worth playing. All given away for free, done for the love of the game.
Ive recently found a fun new Autobattle type space game called Annihilate the Spance that is in early access. Have you heard of that one? Its really cool.
Interesting list. Sad to hear about your issues with Stardock. I've been looking for a Stellaris alternative that is not simply lite-version. Endless Space 2 fit that bill, or another suggestion?
I have Interstellar Space. It is a great game! I love the graphics and the tactical system. My only criticism is the small map but this is because I think the game was designed for single day play. Someone, please, give me a MOO with a Stellaris sized map! I'd love to see a modern Lightspeed/Hyperspeed, originally from Microprose. It was 4X before we had the Space 4X genre. Did Galactic Civilizations IV get considered for this list?
Hey! Yes it was a fun list to make! I mention Gal Civ IV and also the dispute I had with the Publisher so dont play their games anymore. But lots of awesome games in the genre :)
Am I the only one who finds the idea of a top 20 Space Empire game list without any games from the actual Space Empires franchise odd? Also there are Endless Space novels. Interesting.
Homeworld remasters are great, just wish the last 3'rd installment were worthy of its name - It was imo a hot pile of garbage with the average strategic/tactical depth of a mobile game. Good list - Keep it up :)
Was an odd incident a long time ago when we first started the channel. Never got a remedy to it unfortunately! But they were not very pleasant to me at the time. I really loved their games so it was a hard stance to take.
Just be aware that Paradox (Stellaris) are a gang of thieves and not a Publisher. CS2 has complete, ready to ship DLC that's been paid for by many of us and Paradox has our money but we don't have our product , despite releasing additional paid-for content. It's up to you but if you value your money I would avoid Paradox, they're scum.
Did Stardock Games like Copyright Strike your channel all those years ago? I have a similar grudge with EA for killing Command & Conquer General II/etc.
Surprise you had bad dealing with StarDock. They always treated me well. Giving me a free game after their last game bombed. Even porting my games over to Steam after their personal client died. Not sure what happened between you two.
Wasn't my experience unfortunately. Its a long story but it wasn't fun at the time and was left unimpressed with how that company is run. The CEO I'm aware of but was not involved.
From my outside perspective they generally seem to be a publisher for gamers that cares. Kinda like Hooded Horse. But it might be different with content creators.
No of course not 🤣 Allowed a moderator to send me abusive messages then backed him up. Acted extremely petty toward me for no real reason unfortunately.
@@LTGamingUA-cam checked the list again...3, maybe, if i ignore balance issues. ;) i just play too much of this stuff to not notice...at least many have mods to compensate.
starsector is criminally under reported
For anyone curious, the Star Wars Empire at War footage features the Thrawn's Revenge mod, not the vanilla game. Even vanilla, it's possibly my favorite and most-played game, but the modding scene is definitely keeping it relevant 19 years later.
Yes I should of mentioned this but that's from an older video I did on modding 🚀
I really enjoyed Endless Space 2 as a turn based strategy game. Depending on your progress through the tech tree you can go many different routs. Ultimately, it is VERY addicting.
Stellaris is what I am hooked on at the moment. The amount of DLC's and Mods available for the game are pretty crazy. I also love that you can create your own empire from scratch, all with different origins and traits. You can make a machine AI race to exterminate the galaxy, or a Psionic race allied with a Fallen Empire (That eventually goes away anyway) to either rule though subterfuge, diplomacy, or force. It's a great game.
Sins of a Solar Empire 2 is next on my list to try. I can't give a review on it as I have not played it yet, but I like what I have seen already.
Star Ruler is very much a hidden gem. Being able to make ships bigger than whole solar systems never gets old lol
Surprisingly, Sword of the Stars 1 takes the top spot. An incredible game.
When enemy glasses / heats your planet and you hear "help us!" "help us!", it gets to you.... especially if you don't have a fleet in range to save them.
This game has a cult following, and rightfully so. Design your ships. Randomized tech tree. Space dolphins OP. Each race has different FTL mechanic.
Real time space battles with each turret on a ship firing independently.

Yes. It is a travesty what they did with the sequel. SotS 2 was the first game I bought on release, full price. A year later, when all the bugs and crashes were fixed, the design was still worse than the first...

Awesome comment! I'm glad that we have helped you spend money on games haha!
Sword of the Stars is THE forgotten gem on this list. Hands down the best MULTIPLAYER 4x of all time.

9:09 THE MODS!!!! off the charts! And so well integrated.
Endless Space 2 is great and theres tons of mods in the steam workshop to keep it fresh
Having a blast with it 🚀🚀
The lore of Homeworld 1-2 is like that of Wing Commander
Enjoyed your list! You alluded to something quite unpleasant happening with the Sins 2 publisher, can I ask what happened?
An unpleasant interaction with a 'moderator' which they doubled down on. Door is always open 🚀

I discussed putting it on here!
I second this, but prefer Space Empires 3 and 4
@ Tom suggested 4. But we decided they might go better on a retro list!
@@LTGamingUA-cam I agree with that. A retro list would be awesome!

Stars in Shadow looks great it's like a remaster of Master of Orion 2 which I played to death back in the day. Gonna get it for myself now
