Master of Orion Critic Reviews and Review Scores
EurogamerRichie Shoemaker
These are are the voyages of starships and enterprise, boldly going where every 4X game has been before.
PC GamerLeif Johnson

A fun, serviceable update to the 4X legend that brings little memorable to the genre aside from its personality.
IGNT.J. Hafer
7
There’s not much that’s outright wrong with Master of Orion, but there’s not much memorable or endearing about it either. It’s built on a moderately successful but bland execution of the inside-the-box space 4X formula. The moments when its flair for leader characterization and an enjoyably complex combat engine take center stage are the only times anything about it really stands out. There’s definitely enough game here that I wouldn’t turn anyone away from giving it a spin, but I also can’t say you’d be missing anything special by skipping it.
Game InformerDaniel Tack

A polished renewal of the classic franchise that’s more suited for genre newcomers than for fans looking for a highly complex strategy game.
GameSpotMike Mahardy
7
Despite some rough edges and frequent moments of boredom, Master of Orion is an engaging reboot of a classic sci-fi strategy title.
