Even in early access, Endless Legend 2 might already be my favourite 4X game—and I've played a lot of them

People fleeing a volcanic eruption.

A sentient rock, an ancient hologram and an alien zealot are debating how we respond to the imminent arrival of a slumbering, long-forgotten god. Do we try to shackle them? Do we prostrate ourselves before them? Do we try to impress them with our mighty deeds? I dunno—I'm too busy sacrificing mortals to a great and terrible machine in an attempt to resurrect an army of chivalrous ghosts and super-charge my economy. It's been a busy day.

Such is the life of a ruler on Saiadha, the water-logged setting of Endless Legend 2. This bizarre, constantly shifting planet has stories to tell: of lost spacefarers, of secrets buried beneath the planet, of species fleeing extinction and fighting for dominance. You'll face gods, commit atrocities in the name of survival and cover the map in gorgeous, city-shaped dioramas.
