A game from my youth. So glad it arrived on Steam.

After going Linux, it's the first game I tried. I'm still playing it, it's great.

Been playing since version 1, love this game.

This is an awesome game with one single gripe; as a Linux user the is NO creating or editing of mods, if like myself you are a keen modder, you will be disappointed. Still searching for a workaround that does not involve going Windows.

I purchased this DLC because it says "An exclusive alien race will be added to your game with a unique arachnid design."

What you get is a portrait pack, the "a unique arachnid design" bit. The "exclusive alien race will be added to your game" is just hype and spin. Feeling disapointed and let down.

I can only post this review if I press thumbs up or down on wether to purchase or not. So the thumbs down I gave is not towards the soundtrack, just the hype and spin around the alien race that wasn't added to the game.

There is fun to be had, not just in playing the game and striving towards galactic domination, but in creating additional races. You can get absorbed in the creation process with all the abilities and traits to set and tweak. If your confident with editing xml then you can tweak the stock races as well by creating a mod for your own flavour. And, if you like modding then just about any part of the game can be added to, changed or even removed.

And after all that race creating, tweaking and modding there is the game itself. With wonderful artwork and ambient music, you'll be enthralled.
