SPORE™

10/10
The characters' premise fits my needs of perspective.
This might not mean anything, and I apologize if this isn't misleading.
I don't leave bad reviews, all efforts are a perfect score.

Spore is always a fun game. There are some issues with running it multi player, but they are easy to get around. Just link accounts

The beauty of Spore is that it is basically 5 games in one that you play through. From a slither.io type cell stage, to an animal simulator game in the land stage, then two forms of RTS strategy games in the Tribal and Civilization stages, and lastly space being the one frontier i havent played yet, but have seen some gameplay on. This change of pace makes for enjoyment that lasts and variables that allow for replayability

A decent game but unfortunately nostalgia can't cover up its flaws. You never know when the game may crash, but if you're willing to take that risk then I'd say play one playthrough and call it a day. It's tough when the space age is the most boring.

having a blast playing this game, It's exactly as I Remember growing up. so many options to customize your creatures and if you get tired of playing one you can create another without overwriting your previous build. the only downfall is certain parts are only available depending on your diet (carnivore, herbivor or omnivor)

down to every little aspect it is perfect and i want to be just like spore.

game over already?

Spore is an amazing game. Great visuals, fun things made by players, and a really intuitive creature creator. The problem is, EA has basically made this game inaccessible to everybody. Trying to login normally will get you nowhere, so you either have to go through a bunch of hoops or buy the game directly from EA at higher prices. With all this in mind, I do not know if I can recommend it in it's current state.

It's a good game, tbh. My favorite part is that I can make weird creatures and spaceships with the limits of DNA and complexity.

overall: 9/10. -1 point because the lack of parts the game has

I made goober, his name is Greg.

Also why can't I access the online. :(

Great game though, holds up after all these years, needs an autosave update though

its kinda hard but fun and creative at the same time its fun because you get to make monsters and not evolve into one and i dont want to spoil it so check it out

I have a lot of fond memories but unfortunately time has not been kind to this game. I revisited it recently and experienced both pervasive crashes and repeated disconnects from the game server. Combine that with no autosave and it was just not really playable. But hey, maybe your luck will be better, it might just be that the game doesn't play nice with my PC.

Absolut banger of a game. The graphics may be a bit outdated but on my end this just adds to the nostalgia.

This is the best civilization game ive played. Its not that complex so you can play it while relaxing, and the different stages of civilization are amazing.

This game is super customizable and fun, I highly recommend it to any player. Definetely one of my top 5 favourite games. I can play for hours without getting bored. I even got to the tribal stage in one sitting

F u EA this game is top 5 of all time for me but EA gave up on it and wont let go of the IP so the community can do this game justice.

this is great a loonngg enrtaining game ssoooo many combinations does crash but its old. cool

it's really a good game, the only thing i think should be upgraded is the repeditivity.

this is a cool game, from a cell to a small family and then a united tribe tring to get food and then cityes full of the same species but unfortunately in the end your species will kill and hunt themselfs. this game its very old but it simulates the things that are happening in real life

this game is so cute! well, at least to me anyway. it's super fun being able to create your own creatures with unique abilities. the only downside is that you're probably going to get really attached, i already got attached the moment i was in my cell phase.

Best game out there! you get to make a silly little goofy fellow who consumes the entire galaxy (#girlboss)

I loved the generational data and getting up from an organism to all out war with others for resources. very fun game.

liked the game till i tired to open it again and its not allowing me to close nor open it, ive tired to force close steam and its saying the game is stopping but nothing is happening and its been like this for a few days. liked the game and i would continue to play it but idk at this point with it does this

Spore is one of THE games of my childhood. Played only for a few hours and it runs very smooth, everything seems to work and it is just as fun as it was a few years ago.

For me, the steam version works as it should!

Classic game that I wish they didn't give up on. It is a lot of fun with the creativity features, but wish the image clarity was better.

This game has everything you need the only thing that would be good is if you could play this with friend/friends it would make this game so much better. but overall this game is still one of my favourites!

Ive been playing this game for a long time- not entirely on steam, and while the steam version of the game isnt exactly perfect; the game still functions. The creature creation is fun and the Civ-like gameplay has always been challenging but fun to me.

really wonderful game, however it is very old so it is a bit temperamental and can crash but it just requires a bit of patience amazing when ur in the game

Good Creature Creator And A Lot Of Opportunity For Creation, Not Free Btw

What is there to say? Legendary childhood game, if you didn't try it, definitely do, it's unlike any other game out there.

Only cons i can think of is that AI can be quite janky with pathfinding.

Very good, tribal kinda sucks but overall a really good game, on of my favorite games of all time, would recommend

I'm on the space stage at the time of writing, and the game holds out very well compared to some other sim games. It takes a lot of time and somewhat little strategy to succeed if you don't allow the NPC's to conquer before you do (which is what happened in my Civilisation stage, which took an hour to break out of). Therefore, each stage is a lot harder in the early phase compared to the end of that stage. Character creator is very nice and you can literally make a bowling ball if you want to. Other species are varied and creative. Only real negative I have so far is that the online system, where you can share your species, has been shut down long ago.

Binged the game in 1 night until civilization stage, found my save file deleted the next day. 10/10

Great nostalgia for me, I basically grew up on spore. Wonderful sandbox, the only 2 complaints I have are that EA are doing nothing to update the game, and also I don't like when in tribal stage, creatures from previous saves replace the randomized creatures in the tribes, I always found it weird and unnecessary. Other than that, love the game, 10/10.

I have enjoyed this game for many hours, The ability to create any creature you want is very enjoyable to me, i've always wanted to create new creatures, this game allows me to make digital versions of my ideas and play as them doing quests. I would very much recomend this game.

amazing game i was wondering around and got eaten alive by what i can describe as a butt with rabies

fun game but you will crash every 10 mins

This the most outdated, buggiest, unplayable game ever.

Yet it's still a very, very fun game.

A good way to play this game in its fullest is to buy Galatic Adventures and the Creepy&Cute parts pack. You will crash, get softlocked, or encounter any other big bug. But it's still very fun. If you don't care about Spore Online, mod this game. If you care about Spore Online, buy this game on EA Play.

Anyway, buy this game if you're bored idk

Spore started out really fun in the cell stage and early creature stage, but after only four hours of playing, it got way to slow and the creatures evolved faster than the player can evolve easily. It is not a good game if you what your looking for is fast-paced progression. It is also pretty much impossible to play online because of EA's systems. Spore is not worth $20.

How is it possible that I am only able to play the first half of the game but not the other???????
Universe is full of mysteries like:
-What are black holes?
-Hwhat on dat planet?
-Who is steve?
-And most importatnly why did my wife take the kids?
We will never have the answers we want but the ones we definitetly never fucking wanted.

Although I would like to recommend this game, the steam version is buggy and overpriced for what you're getting. I do not recommend this game.

The review is negative because the Steam version of this game is unplayable on modern systems. It crashes constantly, often at random moments, making it nearly impossible to play.

Just buy it on GOG – it's much more stable than the Steam version.

Spore is a perfect game from my childhood, but never buy the Steam version. EA simply doesn't care about their digital releases.

ah yes, spore, the game i loved to play as a kid and my junkie stock walmart pc could barely run it, now since the game is crashing almost every other time that i die, maybe its just the game. Love the game, but dammit man, it sucks playing for hours without saving just to crash and lose everything over and over. Think it crashed like 5 times in the past hour alone, would still recommend i guess as i see not many others are having this issue

Spore my beloved, a one of a kind experience. The game falls off after the evolution stages tho but that's not why were here...

The moral of the story: Civilization sucks, return to monke

it makes me really sad when the creatures die and get hurt i like to play and have fun

Such a solid game, even better than when I played it as a kid. I've never played the game with it's DLC's but I assure you that It's worth it!
If it ever goes on sale pick it up! Game doesn't need Origin to launch, very good for those who don't want an account.

You design and create a species, throughout your playthrough. You start at the very begining of all life, when a meteor impacts a planet and casts it's many shards across the oceans of it's surface. Where do you end it? Out there, in the stars to find out the truth of it all.

Best part about this game is it's great replayability, Each stage you progress through has 3 categories you can end up in, decided by how you played and designed your species. I believe that depending on which category you end up in, you will have different benefits to start out with in the next stage. OH and don't forget that previous species you've created will show up in future playthroughs! YES, you can be competing against a species of alien you made yourself, it's always cool to see AI play against you with characters, vehicles, structures you designed.

Warning

When you first launch the game it will be locked to 30fps. You can change that by editing some files, you can find out more about this from a Spore General Discussions post by a user 'Space Coward' where they credit a forum user 'Emd4600' for the tweak.
Also during your play you will have to keep an eye on how frequently you save, that's right this game doesn't have an autosave function. Increasing the FPS of the game might cause more instability, Idk.

Although I think the game is amazing, even more so now that I'm older, I have to admit that not all stages of this game are built equal. For me the game shines during it's early 3 stages. As a kid I enjoyed those the most and I can safely say that it was for good reason. The latter stages aren't terrible or anything, maybe the last stage is a bit repetetive, but overall I do think it still is a solid experience like no other.

What I dislike, actually think is bad

The AI in the Tribal and Civilization stages is bland. They will go to war with you for no reason, the moment their relationship with your people falls below a certain amount.
You can baby sit them and constantly manage their need to go to war with you, that's all they amount to. I've stopped whole raids by sending over a present... It's so weird to see 12 angry and ruthless tribals just stop attacking you, because they got some fruit from you.

The creature creator/designer modes limit the player with the resource budget and complexity bar. I don't like the complexity bar one bit... Maybe due to limitations of the engine or whatever other reason, it doesn't matter to me. I understand that constraints can get people to be more creative, but for me it just makes it so that my design is dwarfed at times.

Another thing, this one a nit pick is that whenever you reach the point where you can progress to the next stage it is very easy to accidentally advance when you still wanted to collect some more parts and evolve your species. The button you use to check your progress/history turns into a one way ticket to the next stage, like I said it's a nit pick from me.

Ending words

I recommend you check out videos on the creature creator, there are a lot of controls and techniques that are there but not very well explained. Make cool and creative creatures people~

This would still be an absolute blast to play if it didn't crash every few minutes...

Such a fun game that I love to come back to every few years. Definitely deserves a sequel!

good game but i accidently made a creature that is invisible

it is a pretty good game to be honest, it has infinite creativity for all sort of things, i would recommend anyone who are new to spore it is a vary good game
