Pros: Fantastic blend of real-time and turn-based space strategy manageable interface throughout it's just plain cool to have huge fleets of spaceships zap each other.Ĭons: Interface could still use a minor bit of polish somewhat inadequate documentation for such a deep game overall feel of features and polish is at 99 percent instead of 100.

As a result, Sins sits comfortably between sci-fi strategy games like Homeworld and MOO both 'like Homeworld but with the speed dialed down and a bit more planet conquering' and 'like MOO2 but without an end-turn button and cooler battles' are pretty fair descriptions of Sins. Sins is technically a real-time strategy game in space, but it actually dares to do something pretty hefty: It takes the 4X (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate) genre of strategy games-think Civilization or Master of Orion-and adapt it to real-time. Either way, it's basically why it's taken me over a week to write this review. How else could it be that I can start a new game, and then look at my watch what is surely only a single minute later, only to see that I've actually jumped four hours into the future? Sins is either a prototype time machine, or its developers have tapped into some sort of time-perception-altering sorcery.
