Spoiler: game description

What if one day, humans woke up to find that they weren’t alone in the galaxy? They make their way into space and discover other alien civilizations with their own histories and motivations looking to make a name for themselves. Choose your race - Human, Drengin, Altarian, and so many more - and lead your civilization into a golden age in one of the largest 4X strategy games ever made!

Research new technology, design starships, and colonize new worlds as you face threats and conquer challenges from new and mysterious sources. Negotiate trade and treaties, wage wars, spy on your enemies, and promote outstanding citizens. And when you've finished that, play again as one of the many included alien civilizations each with its own history, technology tree, ship components, and more.

Galactic Civilizations III now bundles in the Crusade and Retribution expansions, plus the Mega Events add-on content for an even greater gameplay experience! Join the ranks of galactic leaders today, and answer the question: how will you rule your galaxy?

Have a look if interested, and enjoy.

Next week's freebie(s) will be Relicta starting January 20th.

It's a decent 4x, but it also feel very dated in many way. For example, you make your own ship by adding part to them, it's trivially easy to add a lot of part that make your ship have a lot of movement point. This means that by mid game you can easily make a ship that in one turn will go from anywhere in your territory to anywhere in an ennemy territory which turn all war into mosquito problem where you just swarm the enemy with weak stuff that either force the enemy to split their fleet to protect every planets or die a slow death as you cripple their infrastructure and undefended planet.

Also it has a ton of DLC that don't add that much to the game.
