Alien vidya

It's an objective fact that Star Control 2 is the best alien vidya ever made because the aliens actually feel alien and original and not just recolored humans.

I remember this game being hard as balls, but I was only 9 when I played it. I should give it another go.
Master of Orion also has proper aliens, as does Sword of the Stars. There's another game with aliens I can only describe as polygendered lava cows but I can't remember the name.

The aliens feel unique from species-to-species, but it'd be nice if it had a better explanation for why they all seem to be exactly the same within the species (especially since you carry conversations after you blow up their ships, like with the Vux for example). Not every species can be like the Pkunk, Mycon, and Ur-Quan, who are telepathically linked, a literal hivemind, and single-minded in their ideals respectively.

It's not all that difficult of a game, but if you don't pay attention to the things said in dialogue and explore a bit and jot down notes to make things easier to remember, you'll face some complications. As far as combat goes, just do a couple of rounds in Super Melee with the ships featured in the main storyline.

One of my all time favorite games. They really don't make games like these anymore.

Fun fact: The devs behind this game make Skylanders now.

lol

Quick Holla Forums!

Path of Now and Forever or Eternal Doctrine?

Eternal Doctrine. The Kohr-Ah did nothing wrong.

All of my hope rides with this new Star Control announced.

I think Star Control 2 is one of the very few vidya that I played after Holla Forums's recommendation that hasn't left me disappointed and angry with every user
I was very surprised by how good it is

except the evolution of these aliens doesnt make any sense and they look like random tumors
