Nanostar

The successor to City of Heroes yet it does nearly everything worse than CoH. Yes it has more costume options and in some ways more power variation.. but that doesn't compensate for the childish gameplay boss ninja-ing and constant re-spawning that makes careful planned preparation that some CoH/CoV builds allowed. It also fell away from the CoH instancing model which also detracts. I bought a lifetime subs to this hoping to see an updated improved version of CoH.. but alas got a childish click fest instead. a waste of my money.

OK I rated this a9.. perfection doesn't exist for me but this comes close. It is a game changer of a 4X games.. Gives me the same buzz as the first Civilization or Stellar Crusade. 4X games have been following Stellar Crusade and MoO's pattern for years... a few showed game changing advances.. GC2.. SE3.. but then these were followed by prettier versions of the same game. Stellaris brings major changes.. Spending the time researching each world and star near home while you develop a colony ship is really interesting. Then there is the first time you Gene Mod your race to better fit the planet you have dumped them on.. its just astonishing when you realize what you can do. The funny stories research generates.. the decision to change your laws to allow robot (slaves). But still not perfect. I expect 2 or 3 major dlc releases this year and a better game after each one. My only problem is i am not now inclined to play MoO4 which i have on steam.. and which deserves playing in itself.
