DD: Sid Meier's Starships is so poor it actually physically hurts me. That a man that has been so foundational to the strategy genre would lend his name to nonsense like this is nothing short of depressing. I am of course talking about Sid Meier, who was responsible for the Civilization franchise. Back before Europa Universalis was a thing, the Civilization series was the kind of game that armchair generals with dreams of world domination would glue themselves to for weeks at a time. But then Europa Universalis happened and Civilization's direction started to veer towards something with a more universal appeal. Throw in Total War's development as a RTS with grand strategy ambitions of its own, and Meier is no longer sitting on a pedestal by himself. If he keeps producing games like Starships he'll find himself quickly forgotten.

Metro: If you think the complex strategy of Sid Meiers Civilization is too much like hard work try the fast-paced space battles of Starships. If youd asked any developer in the world to make a video game about spaceships Sid Meier must be one of the very few that wouldve opted to go with a turn-based strategy. But having recently interviewed the man its quite obvious that he thinks about games in a very different way to most others creators. It was also clear that rather than being led by marketing men and focus groups hes made Starships purely because the idea appealed to him. And were happy to say we really liked it too.
