6. Galactic Civilizations III

Galactic Civilizations III Gameplay

Galactice Civilizations III is one of the largest space strategy games, and offers a diverse cast of factions to choose from with which to conquer the galaxy. With a galaxy based on our very own, the scenarios spin a believable future where humans are just another alien species, and every playthrough will be different thanks to randomized events that provide flavor and surprise. Galactic Civilizations III has reached its zenith with its third and final expansion: Intrigue. The tile-based planets have been retooled to focus on city growth, making for less laborious planet development. Incredible cut scenes play at the discovery of each anomaly, heightening the sense of exploration and wonder.

Scout the Stars: Galactic Civilization III places a premium on knowing your surroundings, harvesting the right resources, and keeping enemy powers in check.

Unique Universe: Interact with dozens of unique factions all trying to carve out their own little corner of the galaxy.
