Galactic Civilizations II: Twilight of the Arnor

"Adding this much new life to what should be a very familiar game is an amazing achievement. While no single addition here can be said to make this expansion, the scope of the subtle yet wide-ranging changes greatly improve the Galactic Civilizations II experience."

"On first glance, Twilight of the Arnor looks like a highly-polished version of Galactic Civilizations II, which is saying a ton considering the fact that Stardock has spent the past couple of years polishing and improving the core game already."

"There are no two ways about it: if you like space strategy games, you have to play Galactic Civilizations II. And if you play Gal Civ II, you have to play Twilight of the Arnor. Just based on the improved graphics and the unique technology trees, it's well worth picking up."

"It’s rare that strategy game expansions deliver much in the way of graphical improvements."
