Galactic Civilizations 3 Final ReeXamination
Stardock Entertainment initially released Galactic Civilizations 3 (GC3) almost SIX years ago at the time of this writing, and as I have recently stated, I believe that the fourth iteration will be announced this year, so naturally, I figured it’d be a good time to write a comprehensive review of the game.
