This is a great game with one huge caveat. You will need to install the "Unofficial Code Patch", otherwise it will be extremely buggy, especially during ship combat. You will also want to use mods to deal with some of the shortcoming in the original game.
The game does require a lot of micro-management of colonies. There are mods to reduce this and there is an active modding community. If you love games like MOO1 or MOO2, you will probably like this game, but you will have to spend time learning the mod scene to overcome it's shortcomings.
Five years ago, I made a huge mod called "Nebula Galaxy" that works around the bugs without using UCP. Revisiting this game, I see UCP has come a long ways in fixing bugs. I am now starting a new mod that will work with UCP to bring out the best of both.

Bought it at release and wasn't too thrilled. Tried it 8 years later again together with 5x, UCP and tactical mods. Boy, what a difference! Modders made the game work as intended and more. Devs could have made a ton of money with dlcs, if they had fixed their initial mess themselves. Well, probably the publisher's fault.
With those mods this game is a jewel. Just make sure you follow the installation instructions. It isn't hard by any means, just know that clicking on "subscribe" ain't enough.

If you're a fan of classic 4X space strategy games, then Master of Orion is an absolute must. I mean, just saying the name brings back so many memories of the first game that it's hard not to get excited for the remake. Even if you've played it before, check it out again.
It's been a while since I've played the game, but stepping back into it was like stepping back into a familiar universe filled with intriguing races, intricate diplomacy, and epic battles. The game is a true homage to the original, with updated graphics and mechanics that make it feel like a modern game without losing its classic charm.
One of the things I love about Master of Orion is the variety of races you can play as. Each has its own unique backstory, strengths, and weaknesses, making each playthrough feel fresh and exciting. Do you want to be the noble and honorable humans, the sinister and technologically advanced Sakkra, or the enigmatic and powerful Psilons? It's your decision.
The game also features deep diplomacy mechanics, allowing you to form alliances, negotiate trade deals, and wage war with other civilizations. There is always satisfaction in successfully negotiating a peace treaty or allying with a powerful empire to defeat a common enemy.
Of course, no 4X space game would be complete without epic space battles, and Master of Orion doesn't disappoint in that regard. Watching your fleets battle it out against huge battleships, frigates, and fighters is a thrill, especially when you emerge victorious.
But what sets Master of Orion apart from other space strategy games is its humor. The game doesn't take itself too seriously and is full of quirky and funny moments to keep you entertained throughout your gameplay. From the crazy racing designs to the silly dialogues, it's impossible not to smile while playing this game.
In summary, Master of Orion is an excellent remake of a classic game that will delight fans of the original as well as new players. It's a perfect blend of modern mechanics and classic charm, with deep gameplay, epic space battles, and a healthy dose of humor. It's been a while since I've played the game, but I can confidently say that it's still one of the best 4X space strategy games out there.
I would be happy if you follow our AWG Curator

this game is great, there is plenty to do, and plenty of ways to do it, i keep seeing comments giving it a bad recommendation, then complaining about it being a strategy game, or not having options setup correctly to make the game easier, there are plenty of different aspects to the game, and it is a great strategy game, you can't just jump in and hope for the best, you can't just concentrate on one aspect, such as tech, because other races will just steal your advanced tech, or will blow you out of the cosmos with ships they spent time building while u were concentrating on research, the amount of depth that is in this game, and the amount that some extra mods can add, is great, and the graphics are pretty cool too
