This might not be the best place to look for objective Endless Legend reviews , we ' re probably all gonna recommend the game Anyway , Rock Paper Shotgun named it 2015 ' s game of the year , which is a pretty big deal . Steam has about 8 k reviews 81 % positive which will give you a good idea of the pros and cons of the game , so I suggest you read those . Personally , I have 238 hours in Civ V , and 174 hours in Endless Legend . I love both games . Endless Legend is less empirewide management policies and such , and more quests and combat , but still has a hefty dose of city building and resource gathering as is fitting for a 4 X . The weakest point is probably AI , but that ' s the same for Civ V . Currently the base game will cost you 7 , 49 on Steam , which is a steal really . The DLC except Tempest is pretty cheap too . I say , go for it , you will not regret it . If you are more reserved , perhaps you can tell us what you think you will like about the game , and we can tell you if the expectations are realistic . Also , you can tell us what you like about Civ V , and we can tell you if it ' s also in Endless Legend .
