The moment you said that performance isn't an issue anymore, I immediately knew that I am going to like it

[GWRaynor]

I love the fact that the devs didn't try to reinvent the wheel or make massive, unnecessary changes for the sake of "innovation." They understood that they had a near-perfect RTS with Sins Rebellion, and only needed to make some minor improvements to the actual gameplay. As they say, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Putting so much effort into making a buttery smooth engine to rectify the first game's biggest issue is the best thing they could have done. They put in the work where it was actually needed, and it shows.

Already waiting for the Star Wars, Star Trek, & 40k Mods

The biggest problem with the first game was that it couldn't use multiple cores and it lagged in the later stages. If that is fixed, then we're talking about one of the best space rts games.

One thing to note is that Sins 1 has a very big mod scene, with loads of extra content and complete overhauls for every major scifi universe you can think of.
I expect a lot of those modders to jump over to 2, but for now Sins 1 arguably has quite a bit more content than 2.

Those original intro cinematics with the weary old war veteren monologues are forever burned into my mind, and have been since I first launched sins at 11 years old. I’ve been wishing for a campaign and to find out who the Vasari are running from since the beginning and I can’t believe I’m finally getting to see both of those things once those DLCs are released. Never been more hyped for a game in my life, the premium edition was an easy choice for me.

[SliderFury]

The more people I see complaining that the devs didn't change/add enough stuff, the more thankful I am that they stuck to the original so closely. It's what the Sins community wanted and they listened to us.

This feels like coming full circle. I originally found Stellaris from a thread on the Sins forums back in 2016.

[TheWirelessTech]

You had me at sins 2, bought the premium edition because this dev deserves my money.

Already bought the game and have played it a bit, and it is really freaking cool. I highly recommend it, and it even runs on my semi-crappy laptop.

[MrCovi]

Why would a fan of Sins 1, who's looking for a game to play, be disappointed that Sins 2 isn't completely different? If you don't want to play a game like Sins 1... then are you really a fan of Sins 1?

[luminatrixfanfiction]

The irony is, I built my first PC gaming computer around Sins rebellion all those years ago but the game's performance was locked behind that limitation lol...and now I can play without any lag on a ten plus year old gaming rig that still performs beautifully. We've come a full circle lol.

[Capum]

I stayed up until 1:30am playing this after I got home from work. Been exhausted all day but it was absolutely worth it. Been waiting a decade and it's just...such a smoother experience. Quality of Life upgrades, great performance, great looking ships, and a roadmap for a campaign and the mysterious fourth faction.

But the *smoothness* of it is really what hit me out of all of those. It just...*feels* good to play. It's 100% just Sins of a Solar Empire: Again but Better, and that's exactly what I've wanted.

[inderezzed]

Playtester, I bought the game when it was still in development over the course of last year and this year; It's definitely worth the price for the features they worked hard on; members of the development team were even taken from the Sins of the Prophets and Dawn of the Reapers production team, Chokepoint Games. As far as personally, I don't like the Skirantra Carrier redesign as well as the heavy cruiser redesign, but that remains a personal grievance of mine; the game itself is amazing and to new players, I highly recommend it. Seeing the roadmap the developers have planned though, makes me happy to know there's a new campaign coming and a fourth faction down the line! Can't wait to see how they play!

[rrrr]

It's quite refreshing seeing a new game launch that isn't plagued by performance issues

[Dwuudz]

After the disappointment of HW3 this is a breath of fresh air.

As an og rebellion enjoyer, I am about to vanish till space marine 2 releases, then I shall vanish again

[vampiricalchemist]

Look, as someone who had 1k++ hours on SoaSE 1/rebellion, and 103 hours on SoaSE 2. This game is incredible if you like space ship battles. You can just slow it down and zoom in on a battle and watch almost movie quality battles take place. The ships look amazing, from the big Titans and Battleships down to the individual fighters. The focus is on building the right fleet composition that synergizes with the research you are doing. I know I'll put in 1k+ hours on this game just as I did with the previous, and now that it's finally out of EA, I can try out the Advent.

Then the fucking audio in this game, from the music to the comms from your units. It's fucking insane. The game builds lore in the ships and their names. You can feel the desperation from the TEC, the hatred from the Advent and the feeling of superiority (and at times fear) from the Vasari.

[fun]

There is a 4th faction coming in a later expansion

[fordytude]

This was my go to game for the longest period of time, and while I've played lots of other space strategy games nothing has really nailed the fleet combat and shear power of capital ships like sins has, a truly beautiful game which I will be sinking a large amount of hours into
