Critic Reviews
Sid Meier’s Starships Review
Ultimately Sid Meier's Starships feels like a game that might have been great in VGA back in the 90s.

All and all, Sid Meier's Starships on the PC turns out to be a mixed bag of mostly sour elements. It’s a nice distraction and even a good bit of fun depending on how much you enjoy space combat titles, but only if you go in knowing full well that this is a port a mobile game, absent of much the charm and detail we’ve come to expect from Sid Meier titles. In concept, this game is a fantastic way to build upon the fledgling Beyond Earth legacy, but in function, this game feels like a cheaper version of another Sid Meier's Starships that was never actually made.
